all the pretty pretty chickens


all the pretty pretty chickens
sleeping in the pond
who will take them
to venezuela
now that maxine's gone


maxine said that she was leaving
she left sullenly
but lit a fire
on a flower-strewn hillside
as a farewell to me

in the forests
in the city
i will walk alone
i have my pain
i have my footprints
my heart is out on loan

all the pretty pretty chickens
sleeping in the pond
who will take them
to venezuela

now that maxine's gone
