Donovan - The Ballad of a Crystal Man (Universal Soldier EP Version) Lyrics

Lyrics The Ballad of a Crystal Man (Universal Soldier EP Version) - Donovan



Walk along and talk along and live your lives quite freely
But leave our children with their toys of peppermint and candy
For seagull, I don′t want your wings
I don't want your freedom in a lie
Your thoughts they are of harlequin, your speeches of quicksilver
I read your faces like a poem, kaleidoscope of hate words
For seagull, I don′t want your wings
I don't want your freedom in a lie
As you fill your glasses with the wine of murdered negroes
Thinking not of beauty that spreads like morning sun-glow
For seagull, I don't want your wings
I don′t want your freedom in a lie
On the quilted battlefields of soldiers dazzling, made of toy tin
The big bomb like a child′s hand could sweep them dead just so to win
Seagull, I don't want your wings
I don′t want your freedom in a lie
Vietnam, your latest game, you're playing with your blackest Queen
Damn your souls and curse your grins, I stand here with a fading dream
Seagull, I don′t want your wings
I don't want your freedom in a lie
