Every Head Bowed and Every Eye Closed

from New York l​.​p. by Champion Leader

/

lyrics

The city is a sound
a cracked, unbroken sound
lines that jaggedly
drift up and down

Boxes and blinking lights
and windows like empty eyes
an ever-fixed mark
under the burning heart

And all the while you smile

Every head bowed, and every eye closed
whisper something into the breeze…
Like the old man and the sea
I could just drift and sleep...
Every eye closed, and every head down
except yours…
You stare like a statue

Heaven knows
that you've been warned
Oh no…
Rips and tears won't be mystically be healed.

Lady in the rye,
how do the little ones die?
Do the little ones die
when you smile?

Don't you ever fold!
Don't you ever blink!
The left hand of God brings us to our knees...
