Bill Callahan - Ride My Arrow lyrics
[Bill Callahan - Ride My Arrow lyrics]
Do you know this arrow when it arches high
To meet the eagle in the sky?
The eagle flies using the river as a map
A small animal in it's clasp
Alive and enjoying the ride
Is life a ride to ride
Or a story to shape and confide
Or chaos neatly denied?
Some people find the taste of Pilgrim
Guts to be too strong
Me, I find I can't get by
Without them for too long
Tear at the flesh, tear at the bone
Of anyone who'll tell you
The known is unknown
Life ain't confidential it's not
It isn't and it ain't
Confidential
Ride my arrow ride my arrow
The land I love is splitting in two
Again and again and again and again
War muddies the river
And getting out we're dirtier than getting in
Ride my arrow ride this arrow
