lyrics

Come down this morning on the telegraph wire
Three more dead in the forest fire
I turn my ears to heaven

Big black bird on the telephone pole
Blood red sun spins a red hot coal
Down on the lights of the 7-11

Singing o, Lorelei-o

The great red city is a recumbent beast
Groaning beneath the big black boot defeated
And there ain't nothing left to sow here

But the city ain't no city anymore it is a ruin
And all alone the wind that wakes the bones can call the tune
And the ritual is all that's left to grow here

Singing o, Lorelei-o
O, Lorelei-o

My lord comes with a bottle in her beak
Cross-eyed and laughing in the naked evergreens and
I do not recognize her

Through an open window, the neighbor's TV
Bad news, a bad wind, a bad prophecy and
When she comes I will ride beside her

Singing o, Lorelei-o
O, Lorelei-o
O, Lorelei-o
