Can't you see me hovering
Above the avenue
Can't you hear my chains a rattling
That long dead street musician
On a rendezvous
Can't you hear me crooning
Above the roaring trains
To find me, follow the pidgeons
That long dead street musician
I don't need your change
Oh touch me and I turn
Oh touch me and I turn
Into ashes
Can't you hear me sighing
Edgar Allen Poe
I could play everything from Joplin
The Entertainer
To David Allen Coe
Is my voice familiar
My harmonium and clarinet
How you pulled me from the wreckage
That long dead street musician
How could you forget?
Oh touch me and I turn
Oh touch me and I turn
Oh touch me and I turn
Into ashes
Into ashes
Into ashes
