redmen and their wives — текст песни (Guided By Voices)

roll out of bed
they`re issuing lives for redmen and their wives
offering hands
and twiddling thumbs, for dreams that never come
often said
you better not look away, you`ll lose the day
the way i see it
it`s already lost
so then be it, they say

they`re sharpening knives
and primitive lives, for redmen and their wives
bread winners and klutz
and losing it all before the one eye shuts
well i see it
as paying the price, nobody feels it these days well i`d like to go
and kiss them away
well i`d like to know
another way
did you notice that
they`re taking back lives from redmen just to

give them time to find the light
and other things that bind with pride
a killer`s waking up this time
to honest gleam and needless pride
we`ll never see it shine
we`ll never find the time
we`ll never see it shine
we`ll never find the time...
