John Cale - Set Me Free lyrics

There's a carnival lady in a ten gallon hat
She pulls a rabbit out of the hat
And sets it free, she sets it free

There's a pigeon in my chimney and
It's powdering up the air
Powdering up the air and making
It hard to breathe
Gonna set it free, it's free or fried

Together again, and again
Free again, and again

The lady wants you to dance to
The sound of the castanets
You're trying hard to forget
What she'd mean to you
If she should set you free

When you walk in the rain up
To your ankles in water
Fixated on the vision of
The hangman's daughter
And what she'd mean to you
When she'd set you free

Free again, and again
Together again, and again

You hear a noise in the distance and
You see the sun go down
The streets are full of junkies
There's a lot of them about
You feel them getting closer
They're breathing down your neck
You're the only one left
You're the only one left

Who doesn't wanna be free
You don't wanna be free
You never asked to be free again
