And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbour
And she shows you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever
While Suzanne holds the mirrorhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snMOmHzgssk
But now another stranger seems
to want you to ignore his dreams
as though they were the burden of some other
O you've seen that man before
his golden arm dispatching cards
but now it's rusted from the elbow to the finger
And he wants to trade the game he plays for shelter
Yes he wants to trade the game he knows for shelter -

His refrains are every dying man's rattle, air escaping and healing gone awry. The sighing heart is the magnet that draws in his great disdain of unrestrained joy. And yes, I beleive in him and not Jehovah anymore.
