Lyrics for Ballad Of A Crystal Man by Donovan:
| | | Artist: | Donovan |
| | Album: | Fairytale | | Track: | Ballad Of A Crystal Man | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 71 | | | | Lyrics: | Walk along and talk along and live your lives quite freely
But leave our children with their
toys of peppermint and candy.
For seagull I don't want your wings,
I don't want your
freedom in a lie.
Your thoughts they are of harlequin, your speeches of
quicksilver,
I read your faces like a poem, kaleidoscope of hate words.
For seagull I
don't want your wings,
I don't want your freedom in a lie.
On the quilted
battlefields of soldiers dazzling made of toy tin
The big bomb like a child's hand could sweep
them dead just so to win.
For seagull I don't want your wings,
I don't want your freedom
in a lie.
As you fill your glasses with the wine of murdered negroes
Thinking not of
beauty that spreads like morning sun-glow.
Seagull I don't want your wings,
I don't want
your freedom in a lie.
I pray your dreams of vivid screams of children dying
slowly
And as you polish up your guns your real self be reflecting.
For seagull I don't
want your wings,
I don't want your freedom in a lie.
Vietnam, your latest game,
you're playing with your blackest Queen
Damn your souls and curse your grins, I stand here with
a fading dream.
For seagull I don't want your wings,
I don't want your freedom in a lie | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
