lyrics

CANARY’S GONE:

There's a bird that sings like platinum rings

the people in the walls despise

heard ‘em knocking from the outer halls

the candle burned out three times

canary's gone with a bottle of rum

some of them fools got wise

too blunt to miss

and we were too drunk to piss

everybody got trapped inside

yeah



where you gonna go when the hell breaks loose

got no one to find

you got the dog's mind.

where you gonna go when the hell breaks loose

got no one to find

the only burden you will ever know

is the one you've held the whole damn time



He's got the dog's mind, a sunken face

Graveyard in his eyes

A tower off in the distance

Writing in the rye

bless the soul who doesn't know, but isn't so surprised

a hundred horses in the goldmine

galloping in time

yah!



There's a bird that sings like platinum rings

the people in the walls despise

heard ‘em knocking from the outer halls

the candle burned out three times

canary's gone with a bottle of rum

some of them fools got wise

too blunt to miss

and we were too drunk to piss

everybody got trapped inside

yeah

[“Rustem” an adapted Romani folk melody]
