I got two strong arms blessings of Babylon
With time to carry on and try for sins and alarms So to America the brave Wise men save Near a tree by a river There's a hole in the ground Where an old man of saran Goes around and around And his mind is a beacon in the veil of the night For a strange kind of fashion There's a wrong and a right But he'll never, never fight over you I got plans for us nights in the scullery And days instead of me I only know what to discuss of for anything but light Wise men fighting over you It's not me you see pieces of valentine With just a song of mine to keep from burning history Seasons of gasoline and gold Wise men fold Near a tree by a river There's a hole in the ground Where an old man of saran Goes around and around And his mind is a beacon in the veil of the night For a strange kind of fashion There's a wrong and a right But he'll never, never fight over you I got time to kill sly looks in corridors Without a plan of yours a blackbird sings on bluebird hill Thanks to the calling of the wild Wise mens child Near a tree by a river There's a hole in the ground Where an old man of saran Goes around and around And his mind is a beacon In the veil of the night For a strange kind of fashion There's a wrong and a right But he'll never, never fight over you |

In turquoise inner space
the giants live with grace At peace with peace, at peace with god and men Their spirits rise and fall much greater than us all They trust too much to see their bitter end "Never in a million years", they say "it could never come to this, no way" You should never trust man, my friends So as i stare to sea the salt winds call to me And as they call I hang my head in shame any other world would call their bluff but any other world would scream enough The ocean cries louder to me Save the whale . . . save the whale . . . save the whale Save the whale . . . save the whale . . . save the whale To never kiss and tell their factory ship farewell With every scream a piece of conscience dies lying in a crimson resting place crying with a smile upon his face the giant dies trusting in me any other world would call their bluff but any other world would scream enough the ocean cries louder to me Save the whale . . . save the whale . . . save the whale and jesus christ almighty save the whale . . . save the whale . . . save the whale for all our sakes . . . save the whale |
