Lyrics for Trailways Bus 515 by Paul Simon:
| | | Artist: | Paul Simon |
| | Album: | Miscellaneous | | Track: | Trailways Bus 515 | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 75 | | | | 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.
