Fleet Foxes – Cassius, – Lyrics

Cassius, – by Fleet Foxes
Album : ***-Up
Released : 2017
Genre : Folk

Past my window, out in the street
Life makes short work of all I see
Men take the change from beggars
Tight bound in sheets
Red and blue, the useless sirens scream

The song of masses, passing outside
All inciting the fifth of July
When guns for hire open fire, blind against the dawn
When the knights in iron took the pawn
You and I, out into the night
Held within the line that they’ve drawn

As I went they’re all beside us in silence
As if unaffected amid the violence
Ooh, are we also tamed?
I was in a river, as if in water
Wife, a son, a son, a son, and a daughter
Ooh, are we also tamed?

I walked home, no words to say
Cassius, one month gone on his way
And who will lead us and who remains to die?
By a thread, drop my head to cry

As I went they’re all beside us in silence
As if unaffected amid the violence
Ooh, are we also tamed?
I was in a river as if in water
Wife, a son, a son, a son, and a daughter
Ooh, are we also tamed?

And I turned ’round and there you go
And, Michael, you would fall
And turn the white snow
Red as strawberries in the summertime

Through the forest down to your grave
Where the birds wait, and the tall grasses wave
They do not know you anymore, more, more, more

[ Quotable ]
You’re ever welcome with me any time you like
Let’s drive to the country side, leave behind some green-eyed look-a-likes
So no one gets worried, no
