The Mekons - The Old Fox lyrics

Old fox walking over ice Listening for cracks Below water a pit Above fire, brilliance, beauty No one is around (Below water) Young fox dips his tail And goes tumbling in Behind the crow and gate Old fox eating from the bins (Above fire) No one is around Behind the crow and gate Conditions are difficult Old fox is eating from the bins And full of responsibility The task is great A task is great Old fox walks over ice
