Look at him, he's a giant he wants to cast his shadow across your land He's a beast, don't deny it He wants to bury freedom in the sand Look at him, he's defiant he wants to shoot his arrow at "the man" Enemies, paper lions We're going to cakewalk through his promised land It's for your own protection some of your sons and daughters have to die But come the next election we'll have someone new to tell you why And look at me, I made it and I don't really care about anyone I'm designed to fake it that's how I got my castle in the sun In the sun, I'm a giant look how I cast my shadow across the land Be like me, come on try it but you'll have to build your castles out of sand Look at me, I'm a lion and they're going to hear my roar across the land We are free, don't deny it We were chosen by the son of man Is this what we were born to? Locked in freedom's cage until we rot by moralist dictators, with their one indoctrination under god Pray to him, he'll save us and he's going to bring us to that promise land Ignore the rich, they won't make it their hearts will spark and burn up in the sand Come with me, Joe Goliath we're going to march off to that promise land Never mind, if we don't find it we're on a mission with our fellow man Hey, what if we found it? the promise land that we'd been looking for but did not realize it so we burned it down and kicked in all it's doors saying... Look at me, I'm a giant and I'm going to cast my shadow across your land We are free, defiant and we're on a mission from the son of man

Susie smiles, what's your sign? I can read the stars for you Sit high atop my stony roof and whisper to the gods for you Like winters pass through the hourglass I pick up my hat and stroll back home Alissa frowns, please sit down let me read your palm for you Spring shall bring a stranger around I think he'll change your world for you He'll write you poems He'll sing you songs He'll sleep with you in your candle room Jennifer cries, don't walk by let me read your cards for you The queen of cups is upside down she's trying to get a message through You move too swift You change too quick So please slow down Just look around this is your town Mary laughs, please come back I swear I'll read these runes for you And I'll be glad to give your money back if what I say does not come true You'll meet this guy with deep blue eyes He'll make you smile He'll read you mind He'll keep your dime So, come on smile, what's your sign I can read the stars for you Sit high atop my stony roof and whisper to the gods for you whisper to the gods for you whisper to the gods for you then stroll back home

Holly wont you leave a light in your window to carry this pauper home A beacon for a soul you cannot remember who wanders the freezing cold Half lit in shadow walk dust blown through city park to siren song Rattle the cattle cage break from the page of days well read and torn Holly don't you ever want to remember the field where we used to meet? It's frozen 'neath the bellowing of December and hum of the city streets I ride past the city lawns the streetcars, the Audubon the window stains Reflection stares broken glass, boys eyes in monster's mask who's spirit fades
