I heard the sirens play just like an orchestra
Mechanical bird of prey sing for your emperor
Last broken flash of love still in the camera

     We don't feel those locks and chains
     We won't listen to the lizard part of our brains
     Giving the orders
     Another morning we'll be gone
     I start the car for Ten Mile Beach
     And maybe Avalon, across the water

It's already yesterday and nobody's answering
Disconncted, drift away, nobody's questioning
Head silver, feet of clay, who is surrendering
They fall in our heyday, I am remembering
(Chorus)

We can't feel those aches and pains
We won't listen to the voices in the city rain
Giving the orders
Another morning I'll be gone
I start the car for Violet Town
And then to Babylon, over the border
