Lyrics for Trailways Bus by Paul Simon:
| | | Artist: | Paul Simon |
| | Album: | Songs From The Capeman | | Track: | Trailways Bus | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 108 | | | | Lyrics: | LAZARUS
A passenger traveling quietly conceals
himself
With a magazine and a
sleepless pillow
Over the crest of the mountain the moon
begins its climb
And he
wakes to find he's in rolling
farmland
The farmer sleeps against his wife
He
wonders what their life must be
A Trailways bus is heading south
Into Washington,
D.C.
A mother and child, the baby maybe two months old
Prepare themselves for sleep
and feeding.
The shadow of the Capitol dome slides across his face
And his heart is racing
with the urge to freedom.
The father motionless as stone,
A shepherd resting with
his flock,
The Trailways bus is turning west-
Dallas via Little
Rock.
WAHZINAK
O my darling, darling Sal
The desert moon is my
witness.
I've no money to come East,
But I know you'll soon be
here
LAZARUS
We pull into downtown Dallas by the side of
the Grassy
Knoll
Where the leader fell and a town was broken.
Away from the feel and flow of life for
so many years
He hears music playing and Spanish spoken
The border patrol outside of
Tucson boarded the bus
BORDER PATROLMAN
Any aliens here? You better check with
us,
How about you son?
You look like you got Spanish blood.
Do you 'Habla Ingles,' am
I understood?
SAL
Yes, I am an alien, from Mars.
I come to earth from outer
space.
And if I traveled my whole life
You guys would still be on my case
You guys
would still be on my case
LAZARUS
But he can't leave his fears behind,
He
recalls each fatal thrust
The screams carried by the wind,
Phantom figures in the
dust
Phantom figures in the dust
Phantom figures in the dust.
