May day!
Well I don’t care your cameras caught me crying as I left your gatesOr that your maintenance men they caught our last embraceWell you were on the verge of tears when I first knew I would know youAnd now your ancient black tears they stain your robeCalypso will come with me on that morning April day To the city of my childhood in a cageOn the broad back of the earth we will drive twelve hours straightAnd we’ll take turns feeling crazy and okayOn May Day, May Day listen for the soundOf the ambulances singing rounds drowning out the blueWell the Captain of America he sings through his toothpasteAnd the bubbles of his words will float awayAs he gargles out a hymn in the funny fish voice wayAnd all the sorrow seems to go awayOn May Day, May Day listen for the soundOf the Geiger counters counting downTo one and blast off baby to the inter-space of starsOut to the star encrusted boulevard On May Day, May Day can you hear the soundOf the megaphones calling out instructionsAnd I need your quiet empire where forgetful Persians roamAnd with two hands full of silver I’ll go homeLetras de cancionesReturn me to my kingdom where my children wait for meTo build them flying saucers …On May Day, May Day they are going downSend the fleet of black-and-whites wailing downtownMay Day May Day May Day…
