I awoke in late December
on a beach near a hotel
with the last surviving member
of some liberation cell
she said please
I need to tell you
I need to tell you about my war
but I was too tired to listen in
and I'd heard it all before

but she said
oh no
it ain't so easy
you're just like me now
you don't want to let it show
your eyes they're open
it's your heart that is closed

hey hey hey
and I feel like I am falling
hey hey hey

then I watched a ragged walker
as he walked a ragged mile
his clothes
were drenched with water
and his eyes were strange and wild
he said please please mister
can't you please lend me a hand
I said "well I'm kinda busy now"
I was sure that he'd understand

but he said
oh no
it ain't so easy
you're just like me man
you refuse to let it show
your eyes are open
it's your heart that is closed

hey hey hey
now I feel like I am falling
hey hey hey

so I armored my position
like the others in the zoo
and played jester and magician
to my lordship and his tools

crying God please forgive me now
for I know just what I've done
he said Gentlemen do it privately
and handed me a gun

hey hey hey
now I feel like I am falling
hey hey hey
