Jeff Buckley Faith Salons Lyrics:
(Brenda Kahn/Jeff Buckley)
From the 1994 Brenda Kahn promotional EP King of Cairo and the
1996 Brenda Kahn album Destination Anywhere.

faith salons....The books of massacres and natural disasters, beguiled by
belligerence learned from the dancing masters. The child on the train
was a mimic mime of babble. The mother knitted sweaters that the child

destiny. To whose myth of creation will you finally fall upon your knees
and cry for forgiveness denied. In the faith salons....She'd appear like
a belligerrent ghost in my dreams, in my living room, all torn apart and
blue, where the ribbons flew and the sky tore like a sheet of rain, of
dust. Peace is a distant mirage where the only truth is the path and
chance the only landmark in the desert. Sleeping in doorways.
Underneath the falling frescoes, She'd say, It's your pain. In the faith
salons....
