Fleet Foxes - Ca**ius lyrics

Past my window, out in the street Life makes short work of all I see Men take the change from beggars Tight bound in sheets Red and blue, the useless sirens scream The song of ma**es, pa**ing outside All inciting the fifth of July When guns for hire open fire, blind against the dawn When the knights in iron took the pawn You and I, out into the night Held within the line that they've drawn As I went they're all beside us in silence As if unaffected amid the violence Ooh, are we also tamed? I was in a river, as if in water Wife, a son, a son, a son, and a daughter Ooh, are we also tamed? I walked home, no words to say Ca**ius, one month gone on his way And who will lead us and who remains to die? By a thread, drop my head to cry As I went they're all beside us in silence As if unaffected amid the violence Ooh, are we also tamed? I was in a river as if in water Wife, a son, a son, a son, and a daughter Ooh, are we also tamed? Ooh Ooh Ooh
