JETHRO TULL - For Michael Collins, Jeffrey & Me lyrics

rate me

Watery eyes of the last sighing seconds,<br>Blue reflections mute and dim<br>Beckon tearful child of wonder<br>To repentance of the sin.<br>And the blind and lusty lovers<br>Of the great eternal lie<br>Go on believing nothing<br>Since something has to die.<br>And the ape's curiosity --<br>Money power wins,<br>And the yellow soft mountains move under him.<br>I'm with you l.e.m.<br>Though it's a shame that it had to be you.<br>The mother ship is just a blip<br>From your trip made for two.<br>I'm with you boys, so please employ just a little extra care.<br>It's on my mind I'm left behind<br>When I should have been there.<br>Walking with you.<br><br>And the limp face hungry viewers<br>Fight to fasten with their eyes<br>Like the man hung from the trapeze --<br>Whose fall will satisfy.<br>And congratulate each other<br>On their rare and wondrous deed<br>That their begrudged money bought<br>To sow the monkey's seed.<br>And the yellow soft mountains<br>They grow very still<br>Witness as intrusion the humanoid thrill.
