Clutch - Son of Virginia lyrics

It was the morning of All Saint's Day, '98
When that old blind dog started
Roaming around the graveyard
Wouldn't have bothered me so much
Were he not walking on his
Hind legs and smoking cigars

Recite my lineage and genealogy
You've got to know your history
Son of Virginia
Everybody's in the church believing
They're a sinner and looking for a sign from
The True Son of Virginia

When the storm blew over we made our way
To the old hay wain
To infiltrate the sarcophagus
By the dim light of a narrow window we saw
The God's honest truth staring
Right back at us

Recite your lineage and genealogy
You've got to know your history
Son of Virginia
Everybody's in the church believing
They're a sinner and looking for a sign from
The True Son of Virginia
Stare into the embers on
The first of November
And remember you were born a
True Son of Virginia

I was thrown to the ground
As my world broke asunder
Truly we are living in an Age of Wonder
Truly we are living in an Age of Wonder

It was the morning of All Saint's Day, '98
When that old blind dog
Started calling me associate
Wouldn't have bothered me so much were
It not for the fact that was the truth of it

Recite our lineage and genealogy
You've got to know your history
Son of Virginia stare into the embers on
The first of November
And remember you were born a
True Son of Virginia

I was thrown to the ground
As my world broke asunder
Truly we are living in an Age of Wonder
I wept like a child as the son rose above her
Truly we are living in an Age of Wonder
Truly we are living in an Age of Wonder
