lyrics

Bells are ringing in Detroit
Ringing in Morocco too
Wake me up on the day
Try to make my way back to you
 
Set my foot upon the path
But it’s like walking on water
All the woodland caving in
The countryside's in disorder
 
Cargo boxes in the tree tops
Red and green and yellow-brown
Wind comes rolling through the branches
And all the riches of the orient raining down

Day is done in seconds
Sit beneath the dome of stars
All the heavens changing places
And I haven’t slept since I departed
 
And it's not New Year’s Eve at midnight
Bullets flying through the air
Someone running down the wilderness
Under rockets' red glare
 
Man standing with his eyes closed
Dressed in animal skins and d fur
Buffalo out on the open range
Motionless like furniture

Army ants and carrion beetles
Dismantling the canopy
Erasing evidence, handing out alibis
Like voting ballots to you and me
 
The slate's wiped clean to set your eyes on
Could be anybody’s bones
The longer and drifter Tom Horizon
Is walking this long highway home
