Living In Reverse
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I saw a man shoot an eagle down
Hit him once, maybe twice
Thought it was an omen for things to come
Cut him up with his knife
He took those little bits of innocence
Mailed them off to his friends
Hung them in their hallways and living rooms
And thought their luck woufd not end
There's arrows and there's aeroplanes
There's men and there's mice
There's rabbit's foot and eagle's claw
There's living and there's life
Now everybody's superstitious
It's a blessing and a curse
Believing everything is black or white
It's living in reverse
Watched a man shoot an eagle down
Saw it fall from the skies
It took a little light from inside of me
It put a shine in his eyes
