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
 And 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
