Song That I Heard

In the same reckless city
 Where great Antonio died
 On the island in the river
 With a mountain at its side
 I came to scatter ashes
 Of the bridges I've burned
 And I know the name of the song that I heard
 Yeah, I know the name of the song I heard
 Like a moonlight mathematician
 I subtracted my concerns
 And I multiplied my options and divided my returns
 Sacrificed the angel who was tugging at my shirt
 I was already claimed by the song that I heard
 Yeah, already chained to the song that I heard
 From the corner of my eye I caught the shadow of a girl
 But my shoes were tied together and my face was in the dirt
 Her gentle eyes said everything before she said a word
 And I knew I was changed by the song that I heard
 Yeah, I knew right away by the song I heard
 In the cult of desperation he stayed just behind the curve
 And no one here admits we're getting more than we deserve
 I was born a first child, she was born a third
 We were already named by the songs that we heard
 Yeah, already claimed by the songs we heard
 Did I make you out at Phoenix from the ashes of a bird?
 Did we build our palace and watch it as it burned?
 It's kind of like a lesson that had to be unlearned
 Like a fool maker
 Fall-taker
 Forsaker
 Heartbreaker
 Earthquaker
 Soul-shaker
 Soothsayer
 Moon prayer
 Sun slayer
 Yeasayer
 Mistaker
 Rattlesnaker
