The Cactus Blossoms - Ballad Of An Unknown Lyrics

The Cactus Blossoms Lyrics

"Ballad Of An Unknown"

The city is a prairie
That combs its hair
Shaves its face
Didn't wanna move here
Had to get a new job
Just another place
Fate is arrow
Can't pull it out
Gotta break it off

He was alive when I found him
His eyes were sad
His cheeks were pale
No signs of violence or foul play
Maybe he slipped and fell
He could barely breathe
He drew me close
Whispered in my ear

How long, how long, can this go on?

Time moves on
People pass by
He remains
On the ground
By a busy street
Without a name
Wonder what happened
None of their business
Just another day

How long, how long, can this go on?
