I saw an eagle on a pole I think it was an eagle Now that eagle has flown And I'll never know
Could have been a rotten apple Full of holes Could have been an open wine bottle Ready to go Or it could have been an eagle on a pole
Well the beauty of the seasons Can rip a man up whole And what's happening while you're sleeping You will never know
Never trust a truly wayward Wandering soul Never trust a wanted woman Who can't say no And you never trust an eagle on a pole
I've seen pictures of my face from Where I swear I did no go Looked like laughing, looked like stealing But I will never know
Looked like running, leaving tracks Through the morning snow [ Conor Oberst And The Mystic Valley Band Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ] Looked like darkness and the light Going toe to toe And it looked just like an eagle on a pole Looooooook Ouuuuuut! Evil come and there's nothing left to laugh about Eden come and we're crying cause we can't get out. Get out! Get out!
Something moving, something floating Something falling soft and slow It was getting super natural But you never know
Getting ready for the girls At the burlesque show Getting ready for the night time Street lights glowing Get ready for that eagle on a pole
Looooook Ouuuuuut! Evil come and there's nothing left to laugh about Evil come and there's nothing left to laugh about Eden come and we're crying cause we can't get out. Get out! Get out!
Don't you wanna know why? Why not? Why not? Don't you wanna know why? Why not? Why not? Don't you ever trust an eagle on a pole Don't you ever trust an eagle on a pole.
