It's already yesterday, we're off the calendar

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

Disconnected, 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
