See women walking on concrete Where once they strolled on cherry blossomed carpets And why oh why must there always come a time When a pharaoh will rise who knows not joseph? They were sitting in a Nuremburg beer garden Talking bout the city, the trials, and the law They were sitting in a Nuremburg beer garden When a random wind was blowing the sawdust 'cross the floor Said the elder to the younger, "I hear you went in the country" Said the younger to the elder, "I hear you climbed the mountain" But why oh why must there always come a time When a Pharaoh will rise who knows not joseph? So they raised their glasses to the women and the wall They raised their glasses to the women in their song They raised their glasses in the city that made them They raised their glasses to the love that might have saved them And see the women walking on concrete Where once they strolled on cherry blossomed carpets And why oh why must there always come a time When a pharaoh will rise who knows not joseph? So they took their guitars through the memory of a forest And one passed the hospital; the other passed the courthouse And the stench of white roses trampled in the asphalt Rose to meet the smell of New York City summer piss And see the women walking on concrete Where once they strolled on cherry blossomed carpets And why oh why must there always come a time When a pharaoh will rise who knows not joseph?

Oh the tape on Annie’s window Looks so graduates in pink blue morabors (?) flying towards the horizon And I’m staring at the ceiling and the world is ripping sideways There’s nothing I can say that even points to this feeling When she walks to the window, when she walks to the kitchen she twists and then goes straight On a random Monday morning Congratulates encapsulates You must heed my warning or they’ll tape you to a window and tell you you are flying If you must go along with another whiff (?) in silence Well there’s nothing I could say that even points to this ruin When she moves through the room and then she moves to the kitchen She sways her hips just slightly And everybody’s dancing…
