Eagle On A Pole
Quelle: Spotify
[Verse 1]
Saw an eagle on a pole
I think it was an eagle
Watched its' shadow fly 'cross the cement
And I woke up in the snow
All the trees, and crowds, and people
No shirt, no shoes, no idea where they went
I followed the fenceline thin
Back where the yard begins
My woman, she stood crying like a man
Said, where have you been?
Where have you been?
I thought you said that all of that was done
El Cielo es azul
Just don't go telling everyone
[Verse 2]
Thought the kettle was a train
Thought that Monday was a door-frame
Tried so hard to finally settle down
Heard the fire pop and snap
Like a tack piano rag
I never could get used to happy sounds
Yeah, I hope the world's exposed
A cruel and elaborate hoax
It convinces me to walk without a cane
But what can you do?
Child, what can you do?
I always heard that what is done is done
El Cielo es azul
Just don't go telling everyone
[Verse 3]
The past don't ever quit
There's boxes in the attic
Baby shoes and taxidermy dream
While the ashes of the dead, like a dandelion head
Explode and then are scattered by the breeze
We're such a long way back to all the fun that we had
When nothing ever seemed to bother me
But what can you do?
Brother, what can you do?
Sleep with the stars, and toil in the sun
El Cielo es azul
Just don't go telling everyone
