Lyrics
0:17I'm blessed with a heart that doesn't stop
0:22My mind's a weather vane
0:24It spins around just like a top
0:27Knows what the winds of fortunes
0:30Bring in the season of the witch
0:33Home is a perjury a parlor trick
0:36An urban myth
0:38Oh how the circumstances change
0:43This world is smoke and steel
0:46And compromise and meter maids
0:49I'm going to leave here before too long
0:54Zigzagging towards the light
0:56I'm off to sing my bounder's song
1:10True love it hides like city stars
1:15Nothing to gaze upon or contemplate
1:19How near or far
1:21If it comes it comes quite unannounced
1:24A momentary glance
1:26Lit up by sun or moon
1:28By bonfire or ambulance
1:31Then how the circumstances change
1:36Feels unmistakable with no idea
1:40From where it came
1:42But you will know it when it's gone
1:47Zigzagging through the night
1:49Half dead you sing your bounder's song
1:54Half dead you sing your bounder's song
2:00Half dead you sing
2:01Half dead you sing
2:03Save for the bounder
2:07Whose word is never kept
2:14A bandeau of flowers
2:18To stave his mind
2:21And bloom when he forgets
2:35It's true that shadows tell the time
2:40On sunny afternoons
2:42On crowded sidewalks passers-by
2:45I'm in a queue that stretches out
2:49Far as the eye can see
2:51It forms a figure eight
2:53And goes on for eternity
2:56Oh how the circumstances change
3:01I fly by interstate
3:03Across a purple mountain range
3:07I find a place to come undone
3:12Zigzagging towards you now
3:14I sing out loud my bounder's song
I'm blessed with a heart that doesn't stop My mind's a weather vane It spins around just like a top Knows what the winds of fortunes Bring in the season of the witch Home is a perjury a parlor trick An urban myth Oh how the circumstances change This world is smoke and steel And compromise and meter maids I'm going to leave here before too long Zigzagging towards the light I'm off to sing my bounder's song True love it hides like city stars Nothing to gaze upon or contemplate How near or far If it comes it comes quite unannounced A momentary glance Lit up by sun or moon By bonfire or ambulance Then how the circumstances change Feels unmistakable with no idea From where it came But you will know it when it's gone Zigzagging through the night Half dead you sing your bounder's song Half dead you sing your bounder's song Half dead you sing Half dead you sing Save for the bounder Whose word is never kept A bandeau of flowers To stave his mind And bloom when he forgets It's true that shadows tell the time On sunny afternoons On crowded sidewalks passers-by I'm in a queue that stretches out Far as the eye can see It forms a figure eight And goes on for eternity Oh how the circumstances change I fly by interstate Across a purple mountain range I find a place to come undone Zigzagging towards you now I sing out loud my bounder's song
