trailways bus

• bir paul simon şarkısı. sözleri...
  
  lazarus
  a passenger traveling quietly conceals himself
  with a magazine and a sleepless pillow
  over the crest of the mountain the moon begins its climb
  and he wakes to find he's in rolling farmland
  
  the farmer sleeps against his wife
  he wonders what their life must be
  a trailways bus is heading south
  into washington, d.c.
  
  a mother and child, the baby maybe two months old
  prepare themselves for sleep and feeding.
  the shadow of the capitol dome slides across his face
  and his heart is racing with the urge to freedom.
  
  the father motionless as stone,
  a shepherd resting with his flock,
  the trailways bus is turning west-
  dallas via little rock.

  o my darling, darling sal
  the desert moon is my witness.
  i've no money to come east,
  but i know you'll soon be here

  we pull into downtown dallas by the side of the grassy knoll
  where the leader fell and a town was broken.
  away from the feel and flow of life for so many years
  he hears music playing and spanish spoken
  
  the border patrol outside of tucson boarded the bus

  any aliens here? you better check with us,
  how about you son?
  you look like you got spanish blood.
  do you 'habla ingles,' am i understood?
  
  sal
  yes, i am an alien, from mars.
  i come to earth from outer space.
  and if i traveled my whole life
  you guys would still be on my case
  you guys would still be on my case
  
  lazarus
  but he can't leave his fears behind,
  he recalls each fatal thrust
  the screams carried by the wind,
  phantom figures in the dust
  phantom figures in the dust
  phantom figures in the dust.
