Animal Shapes

Gold and Green
Red and Blue
Are the lights on the signs that line Charlotte avenue
From the corner window, I watch the falling white flakes
God must be carving the clouds into animal shapes
Animal shapes, animal shapes
God must be carving the clouds into animal shapes
We have no goodwill, no goodwill to give
To those who try to take away the things we need to live
Friend, this is from your friend, offa Natchez Trace
The last dream left worth believin' starts with animal shapes
Animal shapes, animal shapes
Nothing better get in the way of whatever it takes
Later on, somewhere else, I said some things I didn’t mean
Yes, I know everybody’s on a first name basis with the king
From a corner window, I watch the falling snowflakes
God must be carving the clouds into animal shapes
Animal shapes, animal shapes
God must be carving the clouds into animal shapes
God must be carving the clouds into animal shapes
