mechanical songs - the smiles and frowns lyrics

it was a time when the hunger was strong
everyone danced to mechanical songs
and just for the sake of style
they paint their face with a smile
hold in their tears, but all of the while
one feller saw through it all
he gazed at the fiery ball
hoping one day that he would see it fall
bringing back life to the dead
it hung from a tired old thread
one day the sun from the sky will be shed
the day when the hunger is fed

every day, the feller looked in the sky
hoping and dreaming as the time went by
then a thought entered his mind
the tallest tree he would find
then climb its branches up to the sunshine
but when he got to the top
somebody told him to “stop!
mess with the sun and it surely will drop!”
the feller said with a frown
“i’m here to knock the sun down
there’s not a thing worth a life on the ground”
then a bird hanging from strings
snapping and flapping his wings
“my boy, can’t you see we are puppets for kings?”
then a tear fell from his eye
he said, “without my strings i can’t fly
without the sun there’s no light in the sky”
but the feller did not care
and he looked up in the air
watching the sun barely hanging up there
as the feller gazed in the sky
something bizarre caught his eye
one million birds, and i swear it’s no lie
came bursting out of the sun
like bullets out of a gun
no time to think and with nowhere to run
hopelessly watching them fly

and then as they flew out of the sky
chirping and slurping as they flutter by
flapping down into his tree
“we heard you want to be free
free from the passionless machinery
if you want to rise above
there is a place we know of
inside the sun is the heart of your love”
then the feller held on tight
to all the birds taking flight
higher and higher and then out of sight
flew back to the sun, i was told
where you are rich without gold
time keeps on passing, but you’re never old
that’s were the feller would stay
spending the rest of his days
singing and laughing his worries away
free from the strings and the pain
although they never complain
the puppets below never turn on their brains
awaiting the feller’s return
