Lyrics for Make Arrangements
Time to make arrangements Flood the valley with the call insane Something the clouds cast And all around the great refrain Didn't you talk about the big walk? Well, wide as a landscape Torn as a rag there You uncovered a doubt Time to make arrangements Send the pallbearers a memory All the wood a-rotting And all the fish run out to sea Call us a mirror, the last ones at the county fair Me in the middle, all reticent and English and air Well, I know Th械re where th械 kestrel hangs You mouthed "beware" Turning from the rainstorm While all around the great refrain Some barred secret A family in their picture frame Didn't you crawl out the ground? Well, thrashing and screaming Now you walk so graceful And the moon bows down Well, hello Now you walk so graceful And the moon bows down Well, hello Time to make arrangements Flood the valley with the call insane Something the clouds cast And all around the great refrain Didn't you talk about the big walk? Well, wide as a landscape Torn as a rag there You uncovered a doubt There where the kestrel hangs There's no easy way out There where the kestrel hangs There's no easy way out Well, I know Time to make arrangements Send the pallbearers a memory All the wood a-rotting And all the fish run out to sea Call us a mirror, the last ones at the county fair Me in the middle, all reticent and English and air Well, I know There where the kestrel hangs You mouthed "beware" There where the kestrel hangs You mouthed "beware"
