Amassing in the great cities, where,
Inhabiting shadowy chambers, 
Behind nodding sighs and hushed

And I need you
to give me the square deal truth

Here comes a word,
A word that cuts as a sword,
You could have heard it’s foreword,
From a songbird or a ladybird,
But I renew your memory,
Of the rocks in our eyes.

Headed west where we bumped across raised railroad tracks
There at the octagon shaped stop sign turned northwest
