For Michael Collins Jeffrey And Me Lyrics

    Watery eyes of the last sighing seconds,
    Blue reflections mute and dim
    Beckon tearful child of wonder
    To repentance of the sin.
    And the blind and lusty lovers
    Of the great eternal lie
    Go on believing nothing
    Since something has to die.
    And the ape's curiosity --
    Money power wins,
    And the yellow soft mountains move under him.
    I'm with you l.e.m.
    Though it's a shame that it had to be you.
    The mother ship is just a blip
    From your trip made for two.
    I'm with you boys, so please employ just a little extra care.
    It's on my mind i'm left behind
    When i should have been there.
    Walking with you.

    And the limp face hungry viewers
    Fight to fasten with their eyes
    Like the man hung from the trapeze --
    Whose fall will satisfy.
    And congratulate each other
    On their rare and wondrous deed
    That their begrudged money bought
    To sow the monkey's seed.
    And the yellow soft mountains
    They grow very still
    Witness as intrusion the humanoid thrill.
