Animal Shapes - Silver Jews

Gold and Green

Red and Blue

Are the lights on the signs that line Charlotte avenue

From the corner window, I watch the falling white flakes

God must be carving the clouds into animal shapes

Animal shapes, animal shapes

God must be carving the clouds into animal shapes

We have no goodwill, no goodwill to give

To those who try to take away the things we need to live

Friend, this is from your friend, offa Natchez Trace

The last dream left worth believin' starts with animal shapes

Animal shapes, animal shapes

Nothing better get in the way of whatever it takes

Later on, somewhere else, I said some things I didn’t mean

Yes, I know everybody’s on a first name basis with the king

From a corner window, I watch the falling snowflakes

God must be carving the clouds into animal shapes

Animal shapes, animal shapes

God must be carving the clouds into animal shapes

God must be carving the clouds into animal shapes
