Richard Brautigan - General Custer Versus the Titanic lyrics

For the soldiers of the Seventh Cavalry who were k**ed at the Little Bighorn River and the pa**engers who were lost on the maiden voyage of the Titanic. God bless their souls. Yes! it's true all my visions have come home to roost at last. They are all true now and stand around me like a bouquet of lost ships and doomed generals. I gently put them away in a beautiful and disappearing vase.
