about

Written one month after 9/11, when the powers-that-were on this side of the Atlantic were ramping up in a way that terrified me more than the event that precipitated their reaction.

lyrics

I know I’m in trouble
The room’s closing in
There’s frost on the petals
And leaves on the wind
Children are laughing
They dance in the rain
With limited perception
Here we go again

The white horse-drawn chariot is full of armed men
Just shut your eyes darling, it’s only pretend
And they’ll fly far away to a land that’s diseased
And they’ll fly away home when they’ve brought it to peace

Play me a tune, Sam
That soothes me to sleep
I’ll pull up the covers
And not make a peep
And if when I wake
You have wandered away
I’ll know that you never
Intended to stay

The white horse-drawn chariot is full of armed men
Just shut your eyes darling, it’s only pretend
And they’ll fly far away to a land that’s diseased
And they’ll fly away home when they’ve brought it to peace

What time is it, Mister Wolf?
What have you brought us to?
Timing is everything
And bad dreams come true

The white horse-drawn chariot is full of armed men
Just shut your eyes darling, it’s only pretend
And they’ll fly far away to a land that’s diseased
And they’ll fly away home when they’ve brought it to peace

The white horse-drawn chariot is full of armed men
Just shut your eyes darling, it’s only pretend
And they’ll fly far away to a land that’s diseased
And they’ll fly away home when they’ve brought it to its knees
