作词 : Phillips
Devastation, at last finally we meet
After all of these years out here on the street

I had a feeling you would make yourself known

You came along just to claim your place on the throne

And I have been overthrown, overthrown

And I thought if I toed the right lines
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine

Devastation, my door was left open wide

You brought me into your heart then you swallowed my pride

I had a feeling you were hiding your thoughts

I made a note to myself I nearly forgot

Now, I am overwrought, I'm overwrought

And I thought if I toed the right lines
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine

And I thought if I toed the right lines
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine

One day, this ground will break

And open up for me I hope it will, I hope it will

Salutations, at last down on my knees

I heard the bugle this morn blast Reveille

Woke from a dream where I was in a terrible realm

All my sails were ablaze, I was chained to the helm

And now, I am overwhelmed, I'm overwhelmed

And I thought if I toed the right lines
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine

And I thought if I toed the right lines
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine

And I thought if I toed the right lines
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine

And I thought if I toed the right lines
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine

And I thought if I toed the right lines
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
