Just like birds of a feather
|
We too have followed the golden sun
|
It feels so good,
|
Knowin' the watchman's gone
|
If I give you a rose, buddy
|
Would you please bury it in the fields?
|
I seen a rose
|
Watchin' it all fold out
|
|
There's a train down at the station
|
It's come to carry my bones away
|
Two engines on
|
Twenty-one coaches long
|
End to end
|
Twenty-one coaches bend
|
The watchman's out
|
Kickin' the bums about
|
|
If I wait for the right moment
|
You can bet I'll climb aboard unseen
|
I've done it before
|
I know I can do it in my sleep
|
|
The watchman's out
|
Kickin' the bums about
|
The watchman's out
|
Kickin' your dreams about
|
|
As I leave you in the sunset
|
Got one more nothin' I'd like to say
|
"You don't know me
|
A son of the sea am I"
|
As I say to you, my brother
|
If you live to follow the golden sun
|
You better beware
|
Knowin' the watchman's always there
|
|
If you find me feedin' daisies
|
Please turn my face up to the sky
|
And leave me be
|
Watchin' the moon roll by
|
Whatever I was
|
You know it was all because
|
I've been on the town
|
Washin' the bullshit down
|
|
The watchman's out
|
Kickin' your dreams about
|
It feels so good
|
Knowin' the watchman's gone
|
It's like a song
|
Knowin' the watchman's gone
|
|
