[length: 04:25]
[00:11.47]Field Commander Cohen
[00:14.62]He was our most important spy
[00:20.23]Wounded in the line of duty
[00:24.48]Parachuting acid into diplomatic cocktail parties
[00:34.67]Urging Fidel Castro to abandon fields and castles
[00:42.84]Leave it all and like a man
[00:47.46]Come back to nothing special
[00:52.42]Such as waiting rooms and ticket lines
[00:57.67]Silver bullet suicides and messianic ocean tides
[01:04.19]And racial roller coaster rides
[01:07.57]And other forms of boredom, advertised as poetry
[01:13.85]
[01:22.66]I know you need your sleep now
[01:26.64]I know your life’s been hard
[01:31.04]But many men are falling
[01:35.20]Where you promised to stand guard
[01:43.39]I never asked but I heard
[01:47.55]You cast your lot along with the poor
[01:52.59]But then I overheard your prayer
[01:58.93]That you be this and nothing more
[02:03.59]Than just some grateful faithful woman’s
[02:08.31]Favorite singing millionaire
[02:12.26]The patron Saint of Envy and the grocer of despair
[02:22.25]Working for the Yankee dollar
[02:28.76]
[02:58.06]I know you need your sleep now
[03:01.02]I know your life’s been hard
[03:05.85]But many men are falling
[03:10.14]Where you promised to stand guard
[03:15.72]Ah, lover come and lie with me
[03:21.05]If my lover is who you are
[03:26.50]And be your sweetest self awhile
[03:30.10]Until I ask for more, my child
[03:35.32]Then let the other selves be one, yeah
[03:40.32]Let them manifest and come
[03:44.74]’Til every taste is on the tongue
[03:50.59]’Til love is pierced and love is hung
[03:54.58]And every kind of freedom done
[03:59.17]Then, oh, my love, oh, my love
[04:03.85]Oh, my love, oh, my love
[04:08.60]Oh, my love, oh, my love
[04:13.04](Oh, my love, oh, my love)
