Flying
Red balloon in the air
Drifting
Sideways
Without a whisper of care
The owner in blue
Has a tear in her pocket
Hand clutching the void
Arm hanging from socket
Isn’t it such a shame?
Tinker
Taylor
Solder and spy
Different
Reasons
But one tells a lie
The tinkers a friend
Of the man who makes pockets
The solder a hunter
Of the spy who steals rockets
Isn’t it such a shame?
Laughing we hear
From the people off reason
Money is law
Real truth is treason
They captured the heavens
And poisoned the water
Killed all the ancients
And kissed Satan’s daughter
The video is now on pause
Rich man
Poor man
Beggar man a thief
Right or
Wrong
It’s a question of belief
The rich man he steals
While the poor man is waiting
The beggar is hungry
While the thief is debating
Isn’t it such a shame?
Walking
Talking
Falling asleep
People
Living
It’s the hole that you dig
Millions off moving lips
Heads that are talking
To the people who are sleeping
While the stalkers are walking
Isn’t it such a shame?
The snowdrift is here
And the snowman is smiling
Looks up to the sky
And sees the sun lying
Searching the heavens
And straight past the moon
For a tear in a pocket
Or a big red balloon
The video is now on pause.
