lyrics

Pigeons don’t fly south
They just fly in circles
As the Swan conducts the swarm
From his cage at the bookstore
And they’re making injections
Out between the cars
As a monster crane
Devours a garage
Pied piper of the flying rats
Tossing seeds from the dirty old sack
It’s a gray cloud of life
Cut in half by a moonlight knife
To the underpass
Out of sight for the night
I heard a cackle in the alley
I heard a ‘wine soaked moan’
A crinkling of cans
And oh, precious bottles
I’ve got my head on a wall
And my feet on a garbage can
Got my ear on a wire
As the whole world’s wobbling
Pied piper of the flying rats
Tossing seeds from a dirty old sack
It’s a gray cloud of life
Cut in half by a moonlit knife
A serrated edge on my skin so white
Wing nuts and screw balls
Thieves galore
Empty wallets and car alarms
Glass diamonds on the sidewalk
I saw them going through the pockets
Of a drunken corpse
Said “hey i was just helping him up.
Hey I was just…”
Pied piper of the flying rats
Tossing seeds from a dirty old sack
It’s a gray cloud of life
As the Swan
Agent World
Finally makes his flight
