Hemingway - John Cale

I always held on to the thought

That if they loved you long enough

Would find out what we missing

When they finally called your bluff

The line between the friend and foe

Is arbitrary still

Drowning in pina coladas

As the bulls prowl around the ring

He didn’t have, he didn’t get

You didn’t have the help you wanted

And when you saw, you saw Guernica fall

The hillsides exploded

And bodies filled the air

There was nothing left of Havana

And you thousand yards stare

He didn’t have, he didn’t get

You didn’t have the help you wanted

And when you saw, you saw Guernica fall

You’ve got a thousand yards stare

You’ve got a thousand yards stare
