Crown of Black

The call came in from the capital city, and mine was on the line She said the world is sick and my heart is racing, we're running out time Well, all the news they see fit to print can't also all be true But I'd be lying if I didn't say that my heart was racing, too The cavalry's comin', get some sleep and gas the truck The cavalry's comin', it's only me but that's enough The cavalry's comin', ain't gonna fuck this up I remember a day in May and a waning crescent moon And I remember a crown of black and excitement in the room It was the second time for the first time that I saw your mother's face A frozen moment of life and hope that time cannot erase The cavalry's comin', get some sleep and gas the truck The cavalry's comin', only me and that's enough The cavalry's comin', ain't gonna fuck this up Slipping out, morning light Into the new world order that's come to be In brightest day or darkest night Tomorrow's as far as we can see Indianapolis Mt. Comfort Mad River South Vienna Oh, Columbus New Concord St. Clairesville Triadelphia Wright's Crossing Rocky Gap and then Out to Flintstone Fort Frederick Gaithersburg Shady Grove Onto Rockville On the Beltway and Downstairs at your door The cavalry's comin', get some sleep and gas the truck The cavalry's comin', only me and that's enough The cavalry's comin', ain't gonna fuck this up I remember a day in May and a waning crescent moon I remember a crown of black and excitement in the room It was the second time for the first time that I saw your mother's face Welcome to the human race
