Eagle on a Pole Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Saw an eagle on a pole, I think it was an eagle
Watched its' shadow fly 'cross the cement
And I woke up in the snow, all the trees, and crowds, and people
No shirt, no shoes, no idea where they went
I followed the fence line thin back where the yard begins
My woman, she stood crying like a man

[Chorus 1]
Said, where have you been, where have you been?
I thought you said that all of that was done
El cielo es azul
Just don't go telling everyone

[Verse 2]
Thought the kettle was a train, thought that Monday was a doorframe
I tried so hard to finally settle down
Heard the fire pop and snap like a tack piano rag
I never could get used to happy sounds
Yeah, I hope the world's exposed a cruel and elaborate hoax
It convinces me to walk without a cane

[Chorus 2]
But what can you do, child, what can you do?
I always heard that what is done is done
El cielo es azul
Just don't go telling everyone

[Verse 3]
The past don't ever quit, there's boxes in the attic
Baby shoes and taxidermy dreams
While the ashes of the dead, like a dandelion head
Explode and then are scattered by the breeze
It's such a long way back to all the fun I've had
When nothin' ever seemed to bother me

[Chorus]
But what can you do, child, what can you do?
Sleep 'neath the stars, and toil in the sun
El cielo es azul
Just don't go telling everyone
