Unknown Number

Lyrics for Unknown Number

It took twelve good men To build this road But it would take an unknown number To say where it's going There's a small hotel Where I used to go But it will not help you 'Cause they don't want me there no more Well there were two men a-coming Just as the sun was gone And one he wore an armband To show what side he's on I saw behind their friendly greeting Their eyes were so sad And when they could not tell me why It must have really hurt them bad Well I went to see a sailor Just acting out his art I went to see a broker He almost broke my heart Oh I was searching each corner But I found no stream There'd been a killing in the city So all the streets were clean Now just look at that crazy woman Acting like she's a man A running imagination Is doing all it can
