lyrics

I watched the Night and the end of all things good has just begun
I asked Sir fox, “Have you ever saved the soul of anyone?”

He took a breath, spit out his cigarette and looked at me
And said, “What for, my road to Hell was paved my good deeds.”

He said, “Please, why should I waste all the air that I breathe? Just cause there’s pain and there’s blood in the trees? I know I did my best to serve now these blackbirds are circling over me! I would concede, that there is nothing left for us to see, this place is ruled by a throne of deceit, you do your best to follow me, pack up your bags and stripes, and let this old world be.”

I burned my home,” continued on my redtailed companion. “What’d be the point, of holding on things that make me grin?”

I said, “Now wait, that seems to much a bold and rash action. What about the Saints you have ever even tried advice from them?”

He said, “Well aren’t we just a little more dust and bone? Just trying find a hole and someone so we’re not alone? But as we get older our smell is gone and muscles groan. Did you hear about Mister Owl and his Brother Jones?”

I said, “does that mean that I curse the sky and hibernate? Just so I slumber down and then dream about things I hate? My furry friend I’m glad can still forage around have debates, but I think you’ve made a big mistake!”

“Just face the facts, or live your life with your head stuck in the dirt, a mockingbird will mark your grave, and laugh at what you learned!”
