Mockingbirds

Devastation at last, finally we meet

After all of these years out here on the street

I had a feeling you would make yourself known

You came along just to claim your place on the throne

Now I have been overthrown

Overthrown

And I thought if I towed the right lines

But these mockingbirds won't let me shine

Devastation, my door was left open wide

You brought me into your heart then you swallowed my pride

I had a feeling you were hiding your thoughts

I made a note to myself I nearly forgot

Now I am overwrought

I'm overwrought

And I thought if I towed the right lines

But these mockingbirds won't let me shine

And I thought if I towed the right lines

But these mockingbirds won't let me shine

One day this ground will break

And open up for me, I hope it will

I hope it will

Salutations at last, down on my knees

I heard the bugle this morn', blast reveille

Woke from a dream where I was in a terrible realm

All my sails were ablaze, I was chained to the helm

Now I am overwhelmed

I'm overwhelmed

And I thought if I towed the right lines

But these mockingbirds won't let me shine

And I thought if I towed the right lines

But these mockingbirds won't let me shine

And I thought if I towed the right lines

(Devastation at last)

But these mockingbirds won't let me shine

And I thought if I towed the right lines

(Devastation at last)

But these mockingbirds won't let me shine

And I thought if I towed the right lines

(Devastation at last)

But these mockingbirds won't let me shine

And I thought if I towed the right lines

(Devastation at last)

But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
