lyrics

Pull up to the Pharmasave in Vernon, lock eyes with a junky there
Load-in through the alley door and make my way to the club upstairs
A volunteer meets me here to steer me to the green room, a wood-paneled cubbyhole.
A stack of newspaper clippings cast aside, are by the chair that I’ll call mine tonight.

The Salish name, although I’ve never heard it is: “where the creek narrows, there you jump”
I make a note to try to find that stream – maybe follow it back in time?
Before the name, before the town, before the junkies hangin’ round, there was the magic.
Like they say, when the flow will let you, step out, take a look around, and jump.

Try to find another
Way to get over
Or you’ll wind up sinking down
Jump first, then you’ll get it
Cause our lives depend
On grace just to find our ground

In the business of executing beauty, as we perform night after night,
Sometimes I might forget what I’m here for, but then a volunteer meets my eye, says
We take a break from wrestling whatever demon holds us – ‘cause now is the time to jump.
While no one sees you crossing over, we see the beauty of landing again.
