Lyrics for Near The Memorials To Vietnam And Lincoln
All near the memorials to Vietnam and Lincoln All near the memorials to Vietnam and Lincoln All near the memorials to Vietnam and Lincoln All near the memorials to Vietnam and Lincoln At the refreshments stand A boy throws out his hands As if to feed the starlings But really he throws nothing It's just to watch them jump See the people coming They're moving over the grass To squeeze in two plastic chairs All near the memorials to Vietnam and Lincoln All near the memorials to Vietnam and Lincoln All near the memorials to Vietnam and Lincoln All near the memorials to Vietnam and Lincoln Three notes, a bugle call A black man in overalls Arrives to empty the trash Hauls it to a metal hatch A doorway opens up To the underworld The boy throws empty hands And the starlings jump The boy throws empty hands And the starlings jump
