Speakeasy - Redbone

Night gave way and darkness fell

On the rivers of the man in white

Love benign, from place to place

To the rythm of the train in Hell

Holding out their hands

Though hate denied them

Piercing all the way

To where I feel

Speakeasy, unfriendly

Here in no where

So far away from home

Speakeasy, where are you now

Oh, I wish I knew, I wish I knew

Four young men, three red and brown

In the belly of a great white bird

Something lonely through the skin

In the kingdom of her majesty

Singing through my soul

I sought to touch them

Even though they took me

For a fool

Speakeasy, unfriendly

Here in no where

So far away from home

Speakeasy, where are you now

Oh, I wish I knew, I wish I knew

Murmurings in foreign tongue

When they thought I couldn’t understand

Smiling through their fear for real

For the faces of the living sob

Lacking was the honesty for reason

Seing what it was

Just made me cry

Speakeasy, unfriendly

Here in no where

So far away from home

Speakeasy, where are you now

Oh, I wish I knew, I wish I knew
