Lyrics:
Through the rain and all the clatter Under the Freemont bridge I saw a pidgeon fly Fly in fear from a raptor come to take it's life As it closed in for the capture I funnel the fear through my ancient eyes Seen in flight Where I know all the bitter mechanics of life Under my hat it reads "The lines are all imagined" A fact of life I know to hide from my little girls I know my place amongst the bugs and all the animals And it's from these ordinary people you were longing to be free In my hotel and on the tv A Preacher on a stage like a Buzzard cries out a warning A phony sorrow, he's trying to get a rise The Cyanide of an almond Let him look at your hands and get the angles right Ace of spades, Port of Morrow, Life is Death is Life... I saw a photograph: Cologne in '27 And then a postcard after the bombs in '45 Must've been a world of evil clowns that let it happen But then I recognize, dear listener, that you were there and so was I Ah ah ah ah ah ah Under my hat I know the lines are all imagined A fact of life I must impress on my little girls I know my place amongst the creatures in the pageant And there are flowers in the garbage and a skull under your curls Ah ah ah ah ah ah
