The Ballad of a Crystal Man lyrics

Walk along and talk along

and live your lives quite freely,

but leave our children with their toys

of peppermint and candy.

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.

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.

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.

Seagull I don't want your wings,

I don't want your freedom in a lie.
