Wounded Old And Treacherous |
| A walk on the quiet side, late in the day -- |
| Don’t mean to get in anybody’s way |
| The Gods seem willing: sun’s in the sky |
| Old crows cawing as the straight crows fly |
| There was a time when love was the law |
| There was a time for the tooth and the claw |
| Last rites given, no holds barred |
| Heaven Express on my credit card |
| Now let me draw the jungle line -- |
| I won’t cross yours if you don’t cross mine |
| Won’t make trouble, I don’t need no fuss |
| But I’m wounded, old and I’m treacherous |
| Allow me to draw the jungle line -- |
| You cross it once, you cross some friends of mine |
| They won’t make trouble, they don’t need no fuss |
| But they’re wounded, old and they’re treacherous |
| In the crisp of evening, on sacred ground -- |
| Ghosts of fathers pushing moonbeams round |
| Big cats prowling inside your head -- |
| They left for China; |
| better left for dead |
| Let me draw the jungle line -- |
| I won’t cross yours if you don’t cross mine |
| Won’t make trouble, I don’t need no fuss |
| But I’m wounded, old and I’m treacherous |
| A walk on the quiet side, late in the day -- |
| Don’t mean to get in anybody’s way |
| The Gods seem willing: sun’s in the sky |
| Old crows cawing as the straight crows fly |
| There was a time when love was the law |
| There was a time for the tooth and the claw |
| Last rites given, no holds barred |
| Heaven Express on my credit card |
| Living mountains going to shake that town -- |
| Big mother calling you from underground |
| She don’t want trouble, she don’t need no fuss |
| But she’s wounded, old and treacherous |
