Hanging on like hell to the safety chain   Lifebuoy crash lands in a vale of tears   All the lovers are in retreat   On the edge of the nervous street      So deaf to the call of the wild   Deaf to the first born's whispering plea   Expanding frame the city is in heat   Burning at the edges of the lonely street      But I want to hold your precious head   I will not leave you nor pretend   I'm going to hold you to the end      Hey mama didn't know we'd end up here   The snapshot is all tiles and red walls   Down at the squatter's camps they cannot compete   The shepherd has been bound up by his hands and his feet      Make love make peace make haste, it's a slow release   Great changes gonna carry you   Make love make peace make haste, it's a slow release   Great changes gonna carry you
