Beyond The Buzzards Lyrics

Foot Foot Beyond The Buzzards

beyond the buzzards
the egg will hatch
tie down the yolk
loosen the catch
ivory dust white wash the nest

we are all being reasonably mean
and i'd sell the whole lot of you sight unseen
cause i could not bare to watch you go

and oh, the bother
my saddened sparrow
they've chewed you down
to bone shards and marrow
the fractures show
as your skin grown narrow
insides thick as a feather bed
as hungry as an arrow head

he built a bow out of bamboo...
