Eagle on a Pole (Outer South)

I saw an eagle on a pole, I think it was an eagle

Now that eagle has flown and I'll never know

Could have been a rotten apple full of holes

Could have been an open wine bottle, ready to go

Or it could have been an eagle on a pole

Well the beauty of the seasons can rip a man up whole

And what's happening while you're sleeping, you will never know

Never trust a truly wayward wandering soul

Never trust a wanted woman who can't say no

And you never trust an eagle on a pole

I've seen pictures of my face from

Where I swear I did no go

Looked like laughing, looked like stealing

But I will never know

Looked like running, leaving tracks

Through the morning snow

Looked like darkness and the light

Going toe to toe

And it looked just like an eagle on a pole

Look out

Evil come and there's nothing left to laugh about

Eden come and we're crying cause we can't get out

Get out! Get out!

Something moving, something floating

Something falling soft and slow

It was getting super natural

But you never know

Getting ready for the girls

At the burlesque show

Getting ready for the night time

Street lights glowing

Get ready for that eagle on a pole

Look out

Evil come and there's nothing left to laugh about

Evil come and there's nothing left to laugh about

Eden come and we're crying cause we can't get out

Get out! Get out!

Don't you wanna know why?

Why not? Why not?

Don't you wanna know why?

Why not? Why not?

Don't you ever trust an eagle on a pole

Don't you ever trust an eagle on a pole
