Lonesome Pigeon

from Abu Bozy by Adam Beattie

/

lyrics

Lonesome Pigeon don’t be shy

What you need won’t just fall from the sky

Kids like trees in the main square

But only the best birds can compete there

Best to stay here in these back streets

When something drops there’ll be no one to beat



Lonesome Pigeon you can’t fly

Walking will do, we’ll help you get by

Your wings aren’t necessary, neither your beak

And soon you’ll grow hands and feet



You broke a wing now you’re bound to the ground

There’s always hope with the tourists around

They’ll buy you dinner, a euro a bag

While fellow man kneels bare foot and rag

Who knows why but nature can be cruel

You’re more deserved than some homeless fool



Chorus



It’s like feeding a baby every time it cries

Numbers rise just like smoke into the skies

The smoke gets thicker, blocks out the sun

Before we know it we’re all on the run



Chorus
