Lyrics Forty Thousand Headmen (live) - Traffic
Forty
thousand
headmen
couldn′t
make
me
change
my
mind
If
I
had
to
take
the
choice
between
the
deafman
and
the
blind
I
know
just
where
my
feet
should
go
and
that's
enough
for
me
I
turned
around
and
knocked
them
down
and
walked
across
the
sea
Hadn′t
traveled
very
far
when
suddenly
I
saw
Three
small
ships
a-sailing
out
towards
a
distant
shore
So
lighting
up
a
cigarette
I
followed
in
pursuit
And
found
a
secret
cave
where
they
obviously
stashed
their
loot
Filling
up
my
pockets,
even
stuffed
it
up
my
nose
I
must
have
weighed
a
hundred
tons
between
my
head
and
toes
I
ventured
forth
before
the
dawn
had
time
to
change
its
mind
And
soaring
high
above
the
clouds
I
found
a
golden
shrine
Laying
down
my
treasure
before
the
iron
gate
Quickly
rang
the
bell
hoping
I
hadn't
come
too
late
But
someone
came
along
and
told
me
not
to
waste
my
time
And
when
I
asked
him
who
he
was
he
said,
'Just
look
behind′
So
I
turned
around
and
forty
thousand
headmen
bit
the
dirt
Firing
twenty
shotguns
each
and
man,
it
really
hurt
But
luckily
for
me
they
had
to
stop
and
then
reload
And
by
the
time
they′d
done
that
I
was
heading
down
the
road
