We Shall All Be Healed by The Mountain Goats Lyrics

Left home in a blur, arrived in the light
Everything's going to be alright
Came back to the place where it all flared up
Just to check if the reservoir still bore the mark of the drought

Up to 13th and Taylor, checked my pulse
You weren't there, and neither was anybody else
Stared down demons, came back breathing
No real point in ever leaving

Tracy and Ivory and Brad and me too
We will see some great miracle before the night is through

Slipped in through the entrance, stood in the hall
Left my fingerprints on the elevator wall
Went to my old room, stood outside it a minute
Wondering if parts of me were still there in it

Who can say it won't be me?
You are gone now and I am free
Wesley and Quinn and Devin and you
We will all be fixed up as good as new
And I stared at the number 10 on my old apartment's door
There's one ghost that can't bite me anymore

And some day we will all feel at home in our new skin
And some day we will all never be alone again
When the sun comes up and the night has passed
We shall all be healed at last, at last, at last
