A restless sleepnI dreamed a dream the other nightnWhere I rode the back of this blackbird in flightnHe took me down just to see what I could sownAnother light in this big city glownnWhen I touched downnI hardly recognized the place no morenCause now there were signsnAnd they hung from every doornnOne said PleasenOne said NonAnd one said SurenOne said Be careful, boy, you know it ain't safe no morennOne body breaks, one body's bornnOne seam is sewn, you know one seam is tornnOne person waits for a sign that'll never comenOne person lives each day like it's their last setting sunnnI met a man and he wore a diamond ringnSaid the path we take, well it can be a funny thingnHave you heard them trumpets sound?nHave you heard those angels sing?nAnd I cried: Dear Lord, won't you spare me, please?nnHis face grew red and his voice, well, it went highernGoddamn you boy, you're gonna be fodder for the firenI clicked my heels as I lit up a cigarettenAnd I cracked a smile, said: Try not to forgetnnOne body breaks, one body's bornnOne seam is sewn, you know one seam is tornnOne person waits for a sign that'll never comenOne person lives each day like a sell-out setting sun
