Sickle Clowns lyrics
Song information
Artist: Pretty Things Album: Parachute
Lyrics
Down by the river Three sickle mounted souls Lay wined on the green leaf Digging their rock 'n' roll Hey hey, digging their rock 'n' roll Slashed by the wild geese The silence it did tear Sticks swung in violence You america murdered there Hey hey, young america murdered there As one soul lay dying Only two were there to care On through the valleys Sad sickle clowns they ride Pressed tight against morning Beneath the blackened sky Hey hey, beneath the blackened sky There on a hill of gold Wild children play They bend to pick the flowers The sun dissolves the day Hey hey, the sun dissolves the day If you can't close one eye Then turn the other way Faces bark in anger With savage bitter words Twist against the friendship With rapid shots they're blurred Hey hey, with rapid shots they're blurred There by the highway Two sickles melt in flames They burn without the knowledge Of why their lives were claimed Hey hey, why their lives were claimed As the smoke drifts skyward We search for those to blame ....
