Song from Oblivion - Cloud Cult

For a moment you could feel, like you never felt before

In your mind you set fire to all the billboards

'Til the cars disappear and it’s just you on a horse

And something inside you says you’re finally ready, Baby

The panic in your chest

Is the call of the wild

It’s the song from oblivion

It’s the end of denial

Now you’re calling your doctor

Cuz you’re crying like a child

But something inside you says you’re finally ready

The moment you realize you’re made out of earth

Is the moment you feel your heart start to give birth

Now you’re saying «I love you, and where does it hurt?»

And something inside you says you’re finally ready, Baby

It’s the pissed-off rantings when there shouldn’t have been a word

All your broken pieces are a buffalo herd

The moment you surrender you turn into a birds

And then something inside you says you’re finally ready

You gotta set down the baggage you picked up as a kid

You know you’re only good as the sins you forgive

Gotta give yourself grace for the way that you lived

And something inside you says you’re finally ready, Baby

This is the call of the wild

This is the Song from Oblivion

You can just make out the words as the spirits are singing them

«Children, we love you, now go make this right again»

It’s the smell of the campfire, the beat of the drummer

You look in the mirror, and see your great grandmother

All of the ancestors under the streets

Lift up their song singing «You're finally ready, Baby»
