Witness Blues

You see the sunday birds swinging low , 
  and a fever in your brain only grows 
  and the murder boys are running down the street , 
  you can see 'em from the window from your seat 
  Hear the sound of the mightiest of guns 

  And the shadows go like ghosts accross your room , 
  oh, take the world and burn it in a spoon 
  A mercy ship to sail you off to sleep , 
  to where the ???  and angels swim the deep 
  there is no hiding from the mightiest of guns 

  worth every breath you drink in the night , 
  you won't give up your blue without a fight 
  And looking at the sky there is no pain , 
  see the stars all falling down like burning rain , 
  they were fired by the mightiest of guns 

  Tomorrow i'll be out of my mind , 
  the bear will dance and the organ will grind 
  And i'm laughin cause i know there ain't no sin 
  All the world on a head of a pin 
  Turning fast beneath the mightiest of guns . 
  Turning fast beneath the mightiest of guns .
