Field Commander Cohen
He was our most important spy
Wounded in the line of duty
Parachuting acid into
Diplomatic cocktail parties
Urging Fidel Castro to
Abandon fields and castles
Leave it all and like a man
Come back to nothing special
Such as waiting rooms
And ticket lines
Silver bullet suicides
And messianic ocean tides
Racial roller coaster rides
And other forms of boredom
Advertised as poetry
I know you need your sleep now
I know your life's been hard
But many men have fallen
Where you promised to stand guard
I never asked but I heard that
You cast your lot along with the poor
How come I overheard your prayer
That you be this and nothing more
Than just some grateful
(Ahh-ahh)
Faithful woman's
(Ahh-ahh)
Favorite singing millionaire
(Ahh-ahh)
The patron Saint of Envy
(Ahh-ahh)
And the grocer of despair
Working for the Yankee dollar
Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Working for the Yankee dollar
I know you need your sleep now
I know your life's been hard
But many men have fallen
Where you promised to stand guard
Ah love come and lie with me
If my lover is who you really are
And be your sweetest self at first
Until we come see the deeper thrist
Then go to where the selves are from
(Ahh-ahh)
Some are them, let them come
(Ahh-ahh)
'Til love is pierced and love is hung
(Ahh-ahh)
And every taste is on the tongue
(Ahh-ahh)
And every kind of freedom done
And oh, my love, oh, my love
Oh, my love, oh, my love
My love
