Cara's Castle |
If you ever come to our town |
On a carousel crusade |
And you’re tired of fighting windmills with a nail |
Cross the fence and join the dragons |
Who have never made the grade |
Cara’s castle and the keepers of a most unholy grail. |
Oh Cara, Queen of the losers, ruler of the weak |
Give the poet what he chooses till he’s too dumb to speak |
There’s a clock upon the mantle |
But its hands forget the time |
And the windows turn their backs upon the day |
And the people in the shadows |
Could be all lost friends of mine |
Cara’s courtiers need no light Ђ" need no light to lose their way |
Oh Cara, Queen of the losers, ruler of the weak |
Give the poet what he chooses till he’s too dumb to speak |
From the end to the beginning |
Crippled minds retrace the steps |
From the burial to the birth they do retreat |
Wonderin’where and when and why |
Their souls were slaughtered while they slept |
Cara’s courtiers know no victory Ђ" know no victory just defeat |
Oh Cara, Queen of the losers, ruler of the weak |
Give the poet what he chooses till he’s too dumb to speak |
One by one the battered soldiers |
Go slowly cross the moat |
One by one they seek new castles somewhere else |
With their crutches and the cravens |
And I wonder is there hope |
Is there hope for Cara’s courtiers Ђ" and the wars against themselves |
Oh Cara, Queen of the losers, ruler of the weak |
Give the poet what he chooses till he’s too dumb to speak |
