    at the window, a captive waits to be destroyed...from Polly's album, "Taste the Wall"ˇ
    CD: Taste the Wall   Label: Silver Wheel Music

    Story Behind the Song
    This song's verse lyrics were written in a car driving down Highway 101 from San Mateo to Mountain View, its writer having gotten inspired...one hand on the wheel, one hand scribbling madly sideways in a notebook.

    The chorus lyrics come from traditional poetry gathered for the Carmina Gaedelica.m

    Lyrics
    buried somewhere in the mix
    i can almost hear your laughter
    with your chubby little fingers
    you pulled off both my wings
    if i took enough of the right kind of drug
    maybe i could climb out of the boiling water on your stove
    and if i'm smart i'll bring both barrels of a shotgun to end your reign
    reign of terror, reign of error and your arbitrary rage
    and cut down my hanged kinfolk
    from the helpless anguished trees
    empathy has no place
    in a matter of survival

    a white swan and she wounded, wounded
    a white swan and she bruised, bruised
    a white swan of the two visions
    a white swan of the two omens
    life and death
    life and death

    from my window i see the lake
    from the lake i gather my courage
    from the window i watch the swans
    from my window i watch and wait
    for the city to destroy mei
