ashen faced in the Bear Pit
in a whirlwind of traffic
where the car horns are your bird song
and the high rise crowds your sky
it's always night time in the underpass
you've a dirty yellow halo
illuminates the cardboard mattress
and the deceit in your sleeping bag
but you can't stay here move along dear move along
the patrons of King Square regally recline
it's funny and it's not lost they drink their fortified wine
the arguments they are domestic with drunk volume
they can't afford to really fall out afford to be on their own
but you can't stay here move along dear move along
no you can't stay here move along dear move along
now cigarettes they stem the hunger but only for so long
in need of something more sustaining your stomach sings its empty song
so you feign some love for Jesus for soup and bread to soak
but he wants you on your knees now surrender to the saddest joke
but you can't stay here move along dear move along
no you can't stay here move along dear move along
it's a one room palace for the main event for that golden brown sunset on which you've saved and now spent as that warm curtain draws in and your ailments fade the world reveals its veiled beauty and you're no longer made of clay
but you can't stay here move along dear move along
no you can't stay here move along dear move along
no you can't stay here move along dear move along
you can't stay here move along dear move along
