Unknown Number Songtext
von Brinsley Schwarz

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
