All day long, sweeping up the deads pigeons from the pavement
After the long dim dawn
He remembered how she pulled him from disaster into laughter.
Well it didn`t take long for him to be consumed
and he turned around and said as her caressing resumed
`We once were close but now we`re both marooned,
and what was once a stirring melody is now a distant tune.`
She said `You angel, you flower, you`re powerful.`
but he felt no feelings but his head hot and belly full
and basking in the sun he only feels a gas fire
and he sees no apparent difference between the chimney and the church
spire
He says: `This garden of roses, is overgrown with weeds,
and where the great west river flows I can see nothing but pebbles and
reeds.`
All day long she stuck his nose into Siberia
and dragged him through Hong Kong
till she said `You carrier, you coward, you`re pitiful,
Feeling less and less is just an easy way of doing more wrong.`
