lyrics

Songbird to the lost and wild, father to a wandering
child. Propagandic savior of the human race and
proprietor of our disgrace. Tell us Simon, where
have you been? Does the dust taste better washed
down with gin? Tell us Simon, where have you been?
My legs are getting heavy holding all this sin.
You took your journey to the bottom of a pot of gold.
The world keeps on turning, but you don’t know
how you got so old. Not even the city of lights
could keep away the dark, cold nights.
Save yourself for somewhere later down the road.
Tell us Simon, where have you been?
Does the dust taste better washed down with gin?
Tell us Simon, where have you been?
My legs are getting heavy holding all this in.
Take your shoulders, hardened skin.
Your love transforms you where the blades might’ve
been. Just another year older, ‘nother year colder,
close your eyes and ease your mind.
What’s the last thing you told her, poetic soldier?
No more a slave to terrestrial ties.
