Pen Pals 5: Flea Market is a collaboration between Don Campau and several international musicians. It is the last in a series begun in 1988.
These musicians provided backing tracks to which Don added lyrics, vocals and instruments.My thanks to all.
lyrics
and so on we go, like burnt indigo
watch your step , you better stop there it’s genocide, the mountain is steep, and the way is narrow and dangerous, only some of us will make it and we’ll sing of the glory of the ones left behind , our kids will brag that
we led the way past the cracks, but it’s a little devious, cause we took advantage and trampled on some backs and so on we go, like burnt indigo, history dies, and monuments lie, and so on we go, like burnt indigo, watch your step, better stop there it’s suicide, at the summit of the peak we rested, we spoke of luck and fortune and some of us even prayed ,our band was ragged and worn out from the journey
we argued and shouted at the the next steps to take,and so on we go like burnt indigo
