Vagrants of Venice
Book born vagrants fishing
Endless, aimless in the
Flooded palace where the
King of Venice used to lie
Lonely woman plants a
Rooftop garden from the
Soil that's blown in and the
Seeds that washed up on the tides
Two young orphans (two young orphans) burning
Ancient paintings (ancient paintings) and
Victorian tables (Victorian tables) just to
Keep from freezing in the night (keep from freezing in the night)
They were born here knowing
Nothing other than the
Tales of mad men swearing
Men before them used to fly
All very peaceful now
They have forgotten how
Greed used to drive us to fight
And to climb
Wild people
Nearly feral
Living on what they can find
Just the fish and the fisherman
Mankind, and time
Fearful vagrants fashion
Tools to save them from the
Greed-born slavers that come
Swift on dark sails in the night
Sometimes tyrants passing
Hungry silence are there
No more orphans in their
Flooded world stripped bone dry
Perched like monkeys (perched like monkeys) in the
Triple canopy (triple canopy) of a
Crumbling jungle (crumbling jungle) watching
Remnants of another world (remnants of another world) sail by
All very quiet now (all very quiet)
They have forgotten how (forgotten)
Music gets to live here
To dance in the minds
Wild people
Nearly feral
Living on what they can find
Just the fish and the fisherman
Mankind, and time
Endless, aimless in the
Flooded palace where the
King of Venice used to lie
Lonely woman plants a
Rooftop garden from the
Soil that's blown in and the
Seeds that washed up on the tides
Two young orphans (two young orphans) burning
Ancient paintings (ancient paintings) and
Victorian tables (Victorian tables) just to
Keep from freezing in the night (keep from freezing in the night)
They were born here knowing
Nothing other than the
Tales of mad men swearing
Men before them used to fly
All very peaceful now
They have forgotten how
Greed used to drive us to fight
And to climb
Wild people
Nearly feral
Living on what they can find
Just the fish and the fisherman
Mankind, and time
Fearful vagrants fashion
Tools to save them from the
Greed-born slavers that come
Swift on dark sails in the night
Sometimes tyrants passing
Hungry silence are there
No more orphans in their
Flooded world stripped bone dry
Perched like monkeys (perched like monkeys) in the

Nearly feral
Living on what they can find
Just the fish and the fisherman
Mankind, and time
