Ribs in the fabric


She was walking down a sidewalk
Sniffing, sniffing in the wind
Thinking of everything and nothing
Just another flighty human being

And satellites were arcing
Undetected overhead
Her cells were busy splitting
Engenacing the dead

Beauty is as beauty does
In the eyes of the beholder
Or collectively in all of us

She was waving to a cyclist
As he went coasting past
In through a lazy intersection
Toward the remainder of his life

And a fair old cat went dashing
Behind a dumpster there
Which displaced a brown rat
Which went fleeing with a comical flair
We are trapped but we are free
To go through the motions
And be just as happy as we can be

And later on I held her in my skinny arms
My chapped lips were whispering esoteric alarms
But her warm breath assuaged me and the music returned
We continued dancing while big forest fires burned

Space is spooky and time it is a trip
Don't let the preachers, teachers, hipsters fool you
There ain't no rips in the fabric.

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Vic Chesnutt (1964-2009) was an American singer-songwriter considered one of the most important artists in the indie music scene of the 1990s. Born in Georgia, Chesnutt faced life with extraordinary determination despite being paraplegic due to an accident during his childhood. His music, characterized by introspective lyrics and melancholic folk-rock melodies, explored themes such as pain, loss, hope, and the search for meaning in a world often cruel. Chesnutt collaborated with numerous independent artists, including Neutral Milk Hotel and The Drive-By Truckers. Some of his most representative songs include "About to Walk on", "Flirting with Ghosts" and "The Man Who Loved Beer". His album "West of Rome" (1996) is considered a masterpiece of contemporary American folk.
