lyrics

Your Favorite Song

there's a hawk hanging on the wind
up high above the bay
my little lovebird opened up her cage
and out the window flew away
now i think of you and try to guess
just how long you're gonna stay

well it seems your favorite song
has gone straight to number one
with a suicidal bullet
from the singer's stagefright gun
and the drummer's already packing up
even though the song's not done

heard that gravedigger whistling
heard that midnight train go by
saw that hawk dive in the water
and bring a fish up to the sky
saw you set fire to your dreams, babe
only wish that i knew why

a piece of broken daylight lingers
even though the sun's gone down
a little red blood stain that punctuates
a pale white wedding gown
a little random act of cruelty
here at the deepest edge of town

i'm banging on my bugle
hear me banging my gong
here inside this awful noise
is right where i belong
you thought i might so silent
let's face it you were wrong

a leaf drops on the river
the river carries it away
with a memory just as sharp
as that needle in the hay
but i know i won't forget you
come what will or come what may
come what will or come what may
come what will or come what may
