A Careless Life
The Oysterband

If nothing is given nNothing is required nSent early to bed nThe boy never tired nAlone in the dark nHe learned not to cry nThen in his dream nHe could fall, he could fly nn(The bird's on the wing nThere's blood on the thorn) nAlone in the dark nHe learned not to cry nThen in his dream nHe could fall, he could fly nn(The bird's on the wing nThere's blood on the thorn nThe snails on the runway nA comet is born) nnIt was a careless life in any sense nA long way out with no defense nAnother careless life nAnother tilt at staying free nBlessed are the poor in spirit nWe'd better be nnThe women fell silent nWhen trouble began nThey carried the babies nThey carried the can nThey carried his cases nOut to the car nWaving him off to nAnother small war n(Everyone thinks and nNo one knows nEveryone knows and nNo one thinks) nnIt was a careless life in any sense nA long way out with no defense nAnother careless life nAnother tilt at staying free nBlessed are the poor in spirit nWe'd better be nnTrawling the desert nThe whole press-card jive nTempting the guns nTo be sure he's alive nnDictating impressions nFor memoirs to come nThe sky held its breath nThe stones were dumb nThey blew his driver nOut of the jeep nHeadlines on Sundays nMake editors weep nAll these adventures nAll of these rhymes nDon't stand a prayer nIn desperate times nn(The bird's on the wing nThere's blood on the thorn nThe snails on the runway nA comet is born nEveryone thinks and nNo one knows nEveryone knows and nNobody knows) nnIt was a careless life in any sense nA long way out with no defense nAnother careless life nAnother tilt at staying free nBlessed are the poor in spirit nWe'd better be
