The moltitude assembled and tried to make the noise   The black blind poet generals   And restless loud white boys   But time grew thin and the axis   Was left somehow incomplete   Where instead of child lions   We found aging junkie sheep   How many wasted have I seen signed "hollywood or bust"   Left to ride them ever ghostly arizona gusts   Oh, cheerleader tramps and kids with big amps   Sounding in the void   High society vamps and ex-heavyweight champs   Mistaking soot for soil      So break me now big mama   As old faithful breaks the day   Believe me, my good linda,   The aurora will shine your way   The confederacy, she's in my name now   And the hounds are held at bay   The axis needs a stronger arm   Do you feel your muscles play?       The doorstep blanket weaver   Madonna she's pushing bells   From house to house to house to house   Giving last kisses and wishing well   To every gypsy, mystic and all star hero   That the kids might find the place   Who've been lost forever to papa and mama   On their weekends out in space   Now the sons they search for fathers   But their fathers have all gone   The lost souls search for saviors   But saviours don't last long   Those aimless, questionless renegade brats   Who live their lives in songs   They run the length of a candle   In a goodnight whisper and a puff they're gone   So break me now big mama   As old faithful breaks the day   Believe me, my good linda,   The aurora will shine your way   The confederacy, she's in my name now   And the hounds are held at bay   The axis needs a stronger arm   Do you feel your muscles play?       The missions are filled with hermits looking for a friend   The terraces are filled with cat-men looking for a way in   There are orphans junked on silver mountains   Lost in celestial alleyways   They wait for that old tramp dog man moses   He takes in all the strays   "now, don't grow on empty legends   Or lonely cradle songs   'cause billy the kid was just a bowery boy   Who made his living twirling his guns"   The night she's long, she's lanky   She speaks in her mother tongue   And lullabies the refugees   With an amplifier's hum      So break us now big mama   As old faithful breaks the day   Believe me, my sweet linda,   Oh, help is sure on the way   The confederacy, she's in my name now   And the hounds are held at bay   The axis needs a stronger arm   Do you feel your muscles play?    The confederacy, she's in my name now   And the hounds are held at bay   The axis needs a stronger arm   Do you feel your muscles play?
