Let me down easy a bird on a wire down a mine shaft
I can smell smoke and I’ll choke on the fire
There’s a back draft
And I’ll save your life if you want me to
And your kids and your wife
And your little dog too
Who’s who
Tell good news
I’m hatched high under blood red sky
From a fountain
Time from space is a single clock face
Is a’ counting
And I’m undermined
Though my heart’s refined
And I’ll take your place
Though you take the bait
Who’s who
Tell good news
I’m not a prophet
I’m just an artful dodger
I must be off my rocker
Yes, I’ve been wrong before
I see a city of angels
Crawling for the door
Be released
Free to be…
I’m not a prophet
I’m just a weary watcher
I may be off my rocker
Yes, I’ve been wrong before
I see a city strangled
Clutching a heart, star-spangled
Falling apart, entangled
In all she should abhor
Our Lady Queen of Angels
What’s our portion for?
