Bypass by Craw (band) Lyrics
The grandkids ask her questions
That she can't or won't ever answer
This is the inheritance
That will never be passed down
Over and over, she tells her son, "They all know
They all know. They're all staring at me."
Had to come to Cleveland
For her husband's bypass
Met a white kid in a mall
Who said, "How did you know I was one?"
"You remind me of someone I once knew
Twenty years ago, back in Indian school."
Been fifteen years since I've seen your rеd eyes
Just wanted to see thе grandkids one last time
I dream in fire
A blaze that brings me here
Don't know if I know you
Don't know if I care
Bury the world for me
I hold myself before it all
Somewhere in Southern South Dakota
Just off I-90
A place I've only heard about or seen in snapshots
A transplanted cabin stands
Speaks of her and Ducharme
And when we finally go
It'll be as foreign for me
As it will be for you
That she can't or won't ever answer
This is the inheritance
That will never be passed down
Over and over, she tells her son, "They all know
They all know. They're all staring at me."
Had to come to Cleveland
For her husband's bypass
Met a white kid in a mall
Who said, "How did you know I was one?"
"You remind me of someone I once knew
Twenty years ago, back in Indian school."
Been fifteen years since I've seen your rеd eyes
Just wanted to see thе grandkids one last time
I dream in fire
A blaze that brings me here
Don't know if I know you
Don't know if I care
Bury the world for me
I hold myself before it all
Somewhere in Southern South Dakota
Just off I-90
A place I've only heard about or seen in snapshots
A transplanted cabin stands
Speaks of her and Ducharme
And when we finally go
It'll be as foreign for me
As it will be for you
