Walking On Someone Else's Name Lyrics

Fixing a name to a place is left to history

Tags are all hung written out now for a century

The Glenn's Plateaus and barrows all are named

Isthmuses and the coves all have been claimed



We're walking on someone else's

We're swimming in someone else's

We're building on someone else's name



Can't give a face to a statue; plaque; an effigy

Maps are all full

There's no wall space in the galleries

Archipelligos and meadows all have names

The straits, the peaks, the passes have been claimed



We're walking on someone else's

We're swimming in someone else's

We're building on someone else's name
