Half Angel Half Eagle

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Someone's mother falls to the sidewalk On the next street someone looks up In the cathedral a burst of laughter In another city the pigeons fly up and scatter Someone put down in a New York subway A newspaper picked up in Australia For each event the inarticulate glory The equal and opposite will tell the story [Chorus] Half angel, half eagle One eye on the world Half angel, half eagle One eye on the world Be ready [Verse 2] Five intelligent minds huddled in a fancy restaurant All that brain power bent on... What shall, what shall, what shall, what shall, what shall What shall, what shall, what shall, what shall, what shall I? One lone car cruise the warehouse district One lone figure shuffling along the wall Two shadows leaning from the backseat window Someone's mother is about to fall Fucking honky nigga jew wasp jap dago fag Fucking homeless preacher dyke cabbie fucking union scab Get out, go back, a storm is coming A shudder in the colour of the warehouse wall [Chorus] Half angel, half eagle One eye on the world (World) Half angel, half eagle One eye on the world Be ready Be ready [Outro] Have a good time but don't relax (Be ready) Have a good time but be on guard (Be ready) You don't need that much, not that much (Be ready) Get the wings up ready to go (Be ready) Get the wings up ready to go (Be ready) What shall, what shall, what shall, what shall I? (Be ready) Get the wings up ready to go (Be ready) A shudder in the colour of the warehouse wall (Be ready) (Be ready) (Be ready)
