[00:45.95]Through the rain
[00:47.08]
[00:48.01]And all the clatter
[00:49.28]
[00:50.25]Under the freemont bridge
[00:52.22]I saw a pigeon fly
[00:53.95]
[00:54.98]Fly in fear
[00:56.09]
[00:57.51]From a raptor
[00:58.33]
[00:58.99]Come to take it's life
[01:00.78]
[01:04.24]And as it closed
[01:05.08]
[01:06.27]In for the capture
[01:07.51]
[01:08.90]I funnelled the fear through my ancient eyes
[01:12.11]
[01:12.98]Se in flight what I know are the bitter mechanics of life
[01:18.97]
[01:22.88]Under my hat
[01:23.79]
[01:24.40]It reads
[01:24.98]
[01:25.76]The lines are all imagined
[01:28.16]
[01:31.54]A fact of life
[01:32.46]
[01:33.14]I know
[01:33.73]
[01:34.27]To hide from my little girls
[01:36.89]
[01:40.20]I know my place amongst
[01:42.50]
[01:43.24]The bugs and all the animals
[01:45.95]
[01:49.01]And it's from these ordinary people
[01:51.81]
[01:54.04]You were longing to be free
[01:56.79]
[02:01.48]In my hotel
[02:02.24]
[02:03.67]And on the TV
[02:04.84]
[02:06.52]A preacher on the stage
[02:07.87]
[02:08.40]Like a buzzard cries
[02:09.68]
[02:10.66]Out a warning
[02:11.63]
[02:12.66]Of phony sorrow
[02:13.68]
[02:14.32]Hes trying to get a rise
[02:16.68]
[02:20.43]Cyanide from an almond
[02:23.77]
[02:25.30]Let him look at your hands
[02:26.71]
[02:27.39]Get the angles right
[02:28.60]
[02:29.72]Ace of spades
[02:30.79]
[02:31.79]Port of morrow
[02:32.86]
[02:33.57]Life is death
[02:35.30]Is life
[02:35.94]
[02:39.10]I saw a photograph
[02:40.44]
[02:42.37]Of cologne in 27
[02:44.02]
[02:48.15]And then a postcard after the bombs in 45
[02:52.95]
[02:56.75]Must have been a world of evil clowns
[03:00.13]
[03:00.82]That let it happen
[03:02.35]
[03:06.11]But now I recognize
[03:07.18]
[03:08.46]Dear listeners
[03:09.16]
[03:10.39]That you were there
[03:11.37]And so was I
[03:13.37]
[03:56.15]Under my hat I know
[03:58.16]
[03:58.78]The lines are all imagined
[04:01.47]
[04:04.52]A fact of life I must impress on my little girls
[04:10.17]
[04:13.67]I know my place amongst
[04:16.25]
[04:16.86]The creatures
[04:18.07]In the pageant
[04:19.64]
[04:23.17]And there are flowers
[04:24.10]
[04:25.27]In the garbage
[04:26.20]
[04:27.65]And a skull
[04:28.38]
[04:29.29]Under your curls
[04:30.36]
