Village of the Sun - Frank Black

Well I’ve been hanging downside up

Feeling really banged up

Wishing everybody would shut up

In the village of the sun

Well, it’s more than just a little bit loud

But are we more than just a little proud

To think that the opinions of rocks and of clouds

Would even give us recognition

Though I echo, it decays

I hear a sound that is delayed

And I know that help is on the way

To the village of the sun

To the powers that be

To the powers that be

To an hour to be

Is it the intention of that child

To be a bastard in the wild

Eventually move to his inventions

Like the invention of a cannon

Of course a cannon makes a ruckus

Or like the lady in that circus

We could try and maybe fly us

Right out the village of the sun

To the powers that be

To the powers that be

To an hour to be

Well, maybe I’ve said enough

And I wasn’t trying to be all funny

And I wasn’t trying to be all tough

And I’m almost done

Doesn’t matter what I say

Or for that matter what sayeth thee

And ain’t that the way

In the village of the sun

To the powers that be

To the powers that be

To an hour to be

To the powers that be

To the powers that be

To an hour to be
