I'll try to do as good a job I can to decipher the song lyrics based off the performances, lyric sheets, and poems. Revolving Wheel A revolving wheel of metal chairs Hung on chains, squealing Four little children flying out A blind man sings in Arabic Hey little children don't disappear I heard it was 28,000 Lost upon a revolving wheel I heard it was 28,000 Now you see them now you don't Children vanish hind the vehicle Now you see them now you don't Faces ,limbs , a bouncing skull Hey little children don't disappear I heard it was 28,000 All that's left after I leave I heard it was 28,000 A painted(faded?) face, a trace of an ear I heard it was 28,000 A ? of the missing Tied to the government building A thousand sun bleached photographs Fading with the roses Hey little children don't disappear I heard it was 28,000 Lost upon a revolving wheel I heard it was 28,000 A painted face, a trace of an ear I heard it was 28,000 Don't watch them fade out |

River Anacostia Oh my Anacostia Do not sigh, do not weep Beneath the overpass Your saviors waiting patiently Walking on the water Flowing with the poisons From the naval yards Talking to the fallen reeds Say what will become of us what will become of us? Wade in the water Gods gonna trouble the water A small red sun makes way for night Trails away like a tail light Is that Jesus on the water Talking to the fallen trees? Say what will become of us what will become us? Wade in the water God's gonna trouble the water |

"Medicinals" I was walking thru the National Mall, thinking about medicinals, how they used to grow there When the ground was a marshland undisturbed by human hands, and I heard their voices: Sumac said "We're always here" Witch Hazel - "We're always here" Sassafras - "We're always here" Bluestem grasses always here I looked about, and what I see? Medicinals grow around me, rising from the gravel Sumac and the Witch Hazel Come to soothe our primal (?) sores, come to soothe our troubles Sumac said "We're always here" Witch Hazel - "We're always here" Sassafras - "We're always here" Bluestem grass is always here But do you see that woman, sitting in the wheelchair? With her Redskins cap on backwards What's that she's singing? As from inside a paper wrapper she sips from a bottle a new painkiller for the native people. |

"The Orange Monkey" lyric is ABSOLUTELY IDENTICAL to the poem in the book. "The Community of Hope" Here's the Hope Six Demolition Project switching down (?) the Benning Road - the well-known "pathway of death", at least that's what I'm told and here's one sit-down restaurant in Ward Seven. Nice. Okay, now this is just drug town, just zombies, but that's just life in The Community of Hope The Community of Hope The Community of Hope The Community of Hope, hope, hope, hope There's another (?) pathway of death and destruction South Capitol is its name and the school that's looks like shit-hole - does that look like a nice place? Here's the old mental institution and the Homeland Security Base and here's God's Deliverance Centre and deli called M.L.K. [Martin Luther King] and The Community of Hope The Community of Hope The Community of Hope The Community of Hope, hope, hope, hope They're gonna put a Walmart here (×8) |

"(All) Near the Memorials to Vietnam and Lincoln" All Near the Memorials to Vietnam and Lincoln (×4) At the refreshments stand a boy throws out his hands as if to feed the starlings, but really he throws nothing It's just to watch them jump See the people coming They moving over the grass to squeze in two plastic chairs All Near the Memorials to Vietnam and Lincoln (×4) Three notes on the bugle call A black man in overalls arrives to empty the trash, hauls it to all (?) metal hatch a door (?) that opens off (?) to the underworld The boy throws empty hands and the starlings jump All Near the Memorials to Vietnam and Lincoln (×4) |

The only thing I see about medicinals I would change is changing singing to swinging in the last part. |

here's my suggestion for an improved (yet incomplete) deciphering. (the only part that remains opaque to my hearing is the "A ? of the missing" - where the inaudible word seems to begin with a "t", but I fail to make sense of the whole word) Revolving Wheel A revolving wheel of metal chairs Hung on chains, squealing Four little children flying out A blind man sings in Arabic Hey little children don't disappear I heard it was 28,000 Lost upon a revolving wheel I heard it was 28,000 Now you see them now you don't Children vanish hind the vehicle Now you see them now you don't Faces, limbs, a bouncing skull Hey little children don't disappear I heard it was 28,000 All that's left after a year I heard it was 28,000 A faded face, a trace of an ear I heard it was 28,000 A ? of the missing Tied to the government building A thousand sun bleached photographs Fading with the roses Hey little children don't disappear I heard it was 28,000 All that's left after a year I heard it was 28,000 Lost upon a revolving wheel I heard it was 28,000 A faded face, a trace of an ear I heard it was 28,000 Don't watch them fade out |

this one seems absolutely clear to me: All Near the Memorials to Vietnam and Lincoln (×4) At the refreshment stand a boy throws out his hands as if to feed the starlings, but really he throws nothing It's just to watch them jump See the people coming They're moving over the grass to squeeze into plastic chairs All Near the Memorials to Vietnam and Lincoln (×4) Three notes, a bugle call A black man in overalls arrives to empty the trash, hauls it to a metal hatch a doorway opens up to the underworld The boy throws empty hands and the starlings jump All Near the Memorials to Vietnam and Lincoln (×4) |

everything seems clear now, and I'm thankful to Kujjj and Kuk91 for their previous effort (which inspired myself to improve on it here): "The Community of Hope" Here's the Hope Six Demolition Project stretching down the Benning Road - the well-known "pathway of death", at least that's what I'm told and here's the one sit-down restaurant in Ward Seven. Nice. Okay, now this is just drug town, just zombies, that's just life in The Community of Hope The Community of Hope The Community of Hope The Community of Hope, hope, hope, hope Here's the highway to death and destruction South Capitol is its name and the school that's looks like shit-hole - does that look like a nice place? Here's the old mental institution and the Homeland Security Base and here's God's Deliverance Centre a deli called M.L.K.

Homo Sappy Blues A jaw, a leg bone, a reconstructed skull No contitents or oceans They died so young What God sent you Sent you from your cave I need your wisdom Homo Sapiens Your path of migration Is lodged upon a map Looking like a tattoo On a kid's forhead What God sent you Sent you from your cave I need your wisdom If only for a day What God sent you(x2) They die young around here With a hunger in their guts And a taste for vodka Their friends faces on their shirts Last year they killed one Just for his shoes Tell me what God sent you I got the Homo Sappy Blues What God sent you(2) |

Black Hearted Love wrote: Pollyphoniac wrote: and the school that's looks like shit-hole isn't: and the school just looks like shit-hole ? there, I clearly seem to have missed that line, now I agree with you, but I think it should be: "and a school just looks like a shit-hole" |

Table yes! that is indeed what it sounds like, and it makes sense too. so this should be the whole song, fully deciphered now: Revolving Wheel A revolving wheel of metal chairs Hung on chains, squealing Four little children flying out A blind man sings in Arabic Hey little children don't disappear I heard it was 28,000 Lost upon a revolving wheel I heard it was 28,000 Now you see them now you don't Children vanish hind the vehicle Now you see them now you don't Faces, limbs, a bouncing skull Hey little children don't disappear I heard it was 28,000 All that's left after a year I heard it was 28,000 A faded face, a trace of an ear I heard it was 28,000 A table of the missing Tied to the government building A thousand sun bleached photographs Fading with the roses Hey little children don't disappear I heard it was 28,000 All that's left after a year I heard it was 28,000 Lost upon a revolving wheel I heard it was 28,000 A faded face, a trace of an ear I heard it was 28,000 Don't watch them fade out (x 16) |
