Zen Archer Lyrics - A Wizard, A True Star - Todd Rundgren

Pretty bird with feathers falling 

Pretty as a lady calling 

For her pink and midnight lover 

As she stares into the water 

And a yellow moon is rising 

And there can't be no disguising 

That the pretty bird is dying 

With a silver arrow lying at its side 

Rivers of blood, 

oceans of tears, 

life without death, 

and death without reason

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

To the whole United Nations, 

To your greatest expectations 

To the moment that you realize 

As a dark figure slips from out of the shadow 

Pretty bird closes its eyes, pretty bird dies 

Another pretty thing dead on the end of the shaft 

Of the Zen Archer 

A man in parts forgotten 

With an outlook that is rotten 

And an attitude to match it 

Finds relief inside a hatchet 

And he halved someone in Boulder 

Justifiability is in the hands of the beholder 

And you just don't know what people will do next 

Mountains of pain, 

valleys of love, 

death without life, 

and life without meaning

To the promise kept and broken 

To the love that's never spoken 

Just as surely as I'm in your ears 

A dark figure slips from out of the shadow
