Broken Parakeet Blues - The Ike Reilly Assassination[00:00:00]

East of the village[00:00:20]

And west of the trees[00:00:22]

Up on the high ground[00:00:24]

Where the soldiers would stand[00:00:26]

Cooling themselves[00:00:29]

In the sulfurous breeze[00:00:31]

It seemed like something to lose[00:00:33]

The houses were filled[00:00:40]

With flattering hosts[00:00:42]

In tight shirts and compliments[00:00:44]

For soldiers and ghosts[00:00:46]

Up on the high ground[00:00:49]

Blowing their loads[00:00:51]

For the cowgirls left back home[00:00:53]

How can you say there's nothing to lose [00:01:00]

Singing your broken parakeet blues[00:01:04]

On the side of the highway lighting the fuse[00:01:08]

Black like the crows from the cattle car fumes[00:01:12]

Yeah up on the highway[00:01:19]

Near Twentynine Palms[00:01:21]

I saw busloads of soldiers[00:01:23]

Rolling along[00:01:25]

And people like crows[00:01:27]

On the side of the road[00:01:29]

Waving goodbye[00:01:32]

To lovers and sons[00:01:34]

The soldiers were boys[00:01:38]

There were brown ones and fat ones[00:01:40]

White ones and cool ones[00:01:43]

And camouflaged black ones[00:01:44]

Sweet ones and cruel ones[00:01:47]

But I didn't see[00:01:49]

Anybody I thought[00:01:51]

Had money like me[00:01:53]

Some were sleeping some dreaming[00:01:57]

Some quietly weeping[00:02:00]

Out of Twentynine Palms[00:02:01]

The buses kept creeping[00:02:04]

Right through the desert[00:02:06]

And out to the shore[00:02:08]

Twentynine Palms[00:02:10]

Won't see 'em no more[00:02:12]

How can you say there's nothing to lose [00:02:17]

Singing your broken parakeet blues[00:02:21]

On the side of the highway lighting the fuse[00:02:25]

Black like the crows from the cattle car fumes[00:02:30]

How can you just wave farewell to them [00:02:36]

And knowing what you know and where you have been[00:02:40]

On the side of the highway lighting the fuse[00:02:44]

Singing your broken parakeet blues[00:02:49]

How can you say there's nothing to lose [00:02:55]

East of the village[00:03:49]

And west of the trees[00:03:51]

Up on the high ground[00:03:53]

Where the soldiers would stand[00:03:55]

Cooling themselves[00:03:58]

In the sulfurous breeze[00:03:59]

We all crow those parakeet blues[00:04:01]
