The Tragically Hip - Vaccination Scar Lyrics

So the chemistry set
And I'm not the saddest cheerleader to forget the American word
For the gang in the head
That dwindles 'til no members won
The mysteries met
The sky looks threatened heading home in the dust
Singing "Life is Forgetting"
Good enough for the frivolous

There's one thing I remember is
This tear on your bare shoulder
This little silver boulder
This slowly falling star
We're rolling, so what?
Never getting older where the moonshocked curtains part
The start of enough
A teardrop, then a vaccination scar

I'll tell ya if I'm involved, that is
I'll tell ya like it is
Random like a bad cartoon, like
The Tacoma Narrows Bridge
Like the Tacoma Narrows Bridge

Swimming on a bit
'Stop, you're treading water' as the sun assimilated the words
For lighthouse fire
Burning down to embers end
The mysteries met
Sky just reddened headin' home under dusk
Is life just forgettin' another word for frivolous?
Little silver boulder, silence from Mars for the heart of enough
Or a teardrop, then a vaccination scar

Wherever you are
Scar
