Donovan Ballad Of A Crystal Man Lyrics

Walk along and talk along
and live your lives quite freely
But leave our children
with their toys of peppermint and candy.
For seagull I don't want your wings,
I don't want your freedom in a lie.

Your thoughts they are of harlequin,
your speeches of quicksilver,
I read your faces like a poem,
kaleidoscope of hate words.
For seagull I don't want your wings,
I don't want your freedom in a lie.

On the quilted battlefields of soldiers
dazzling made of toy tin
The big bomb like a child's hand
could sweep them dead just so to win.
For seagull I don't want your wings,
I don't want your freedom in a lie.

As you fill your glasses
with the wine of murdered negroes
Thinking not of beauty
that spreads like morning sun-glow.
Seagull I don't want your wings,
I don't want your freedom in a lie.

I pray your dreams of vivid screams
of children dying slowly
And as you polish up your guns
your real self be reflecting.
For seagull I don't want your wings,
I don't want your freedom in a lie.

Vietnam, your latest game,
you're playing with your blackest Queen
d___ your souls and curse your grins,
I stand here with a fading dream.
For seagull I don't want your wings,
I don't want your freedom in a lie
