The Poet Nurse and the Identical Queen

Lyrics

She bled so hard during his birth She was the middle child, the poet nurse To the union dying swayback horse To the future of the universe Can we get the king to catch the cannonball? When he was on the high wire And the queen was on the trapeze, hanging from her knees She could see revolution in the nose bleeds with her smile a mile wide She found her son's heart that lives in a lucky unlucky man To the stranger's chеst she holds her hand He was gеtting lost in the ceiling fan And his modified American plan Can we get the king to catch the cannonball? When he was on the high wire And the queen was on the trapeze, hanging from her knees She could see revolution in the nose bleeds with her smile a mile wide The outcast is digging in the yard He found the mast of the Scottish second guard But wait, when he found the Van Gogh No one lent an ear Can we get the king to catch the cannonball? When he was on the high wire And the queen was on the trapeze, hanging from her knees She could see revolution in the nose bleeds with her smile a mile wide Isn't there a peace we all been looking for Day and night, far and wide Don't everybody got to just grab hold, lock souls All rising and prizing on the high tide
