Topaz

from Opt Out by Esgazette

lyrics

You were rediscovered
you were marked by stones
dust off the remains
while digging up your bones.

Took my Total Station, made myself a map
something surprising to unwrap.

They called you Topaz
they don't know much
‘cept you was holding
a jewel in your clutch.

During excavation
beneath the aqueduct
make again the body
build and reconstruct

They called you Topaz
they don't know much
‘cept you was holding
a jewel in your clutch.

A woman and her husband
take the dogs to walk
always at the same time
down Park Avenue at dark.

They call you Topaz
you walk the streets
but you don't mean no harm
if you ever meet.
