all thoughts are prey to some beast
Singer:bill callahan
the leafless tree looked like a brain
the birds within were all the thoughts and desires within me
hoppin' around from branch to branch
or snug in their nests listenin' in
an eagle came over the horizon
and shook the branches with its sight
the softer thoughts: starlings
the eagle looked clear through the brain tree
maybe i'll make this one my home
consolidate the nests of the tiny
raise a family of might like me
then something struck him
sweet desires and soft thoughts were all gone
