"American Babes" lyrics
"American Babes"
Surpassing strange, to see them on the train
Coming of age and looking for wnat?
American babes, in the wind and the rain
Where's the milk or the flame, or something to trust?
All in time
Will we see both sides
Will we see both sides
I took a whiskey neat and walked out to the street
Where a wild man whistled and swayed
And up came a wind, from Paradise blowin' in
At least that's what I told him and he blessed the day
All in time
Will we see both sides
Will we see both all love's excelling yeah
All in time
Will we see both sides
Will we see both sides
And she's lookin' like a wolf now
And the dreaming time ain't over
And the house is burning down
And the forest leans away
I am an American, babe
And she's lookin' like an angel now
Standing on the roof, saying something I can't make out
Oh and she's singin', she's singin'
All in time
Will we see both sides
Will we see both all love's excelling yeah
All in time
Will we see both sides
Will we see both sides
All in time
Will we see both sides
Will we see both all love's excelling yeah
All in time
Will we see both sides
Will we see both sides

I've been lost and lead by your stars
Tonight I'm seeing nothing but dark

Andrew Bird - "Sisyphus" Sisyphus peered into the mist
A stone's throw from the precipice, paused
Did he jump or did he fall as he gazed into the maw of the morning mist?
Did he raise both fists and say, "To hell with this"...
