[Intro]

          

                  

[Verse 1]
             
I got two stro

    
ng arms
          
Blessings of B


abylon
      
Time to carry 

on
    
And try
         
For sins and f

     
alse alarms
       
So to America 

          
the brave
   
Wise men save

[Chorus]
        
Near a tree by

  
 a river
             
There's a hole

        
 in the ground
            
Where an old m

     
an of Aran
         
Goes around an

   
d around
            
And his mind i

   
s a beacon
             
In the veil of

     
 the night
            
For a strange 

       
kind of fashio

n
          
There's a wron

        
g and a right
           
But he'll neve

      
r, never fight

      
 over you

[Verse 2]
             
I got plans fo

  
r us
           
Nights in the 


scullery
         
And days inste


ad of me
        
I only know wh

         
at to discuss
       
Oh for anythin

               
g but light
     
Wise men fight

         
ing over you

[Verse 3]
             
It's not me yo

  
u see
        
Pieces of vale


ntine
         
With just a so


ng of mine
           
To keep from b

/         
urning history
        
Seasons of gas

              
oline and gold
   
Wise men fold

[Chorus]
        
Near a tree by

   
 a river
             
There's a hole

        
 in the ground
            
Where an old m

But he'll neve

[Bridge]
            
I got time to 


kill
          
Sly looks in c

orridors
         
Without a plan

 of yours
            
A blackbird si

Thanks to the 

          
calling of the
