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
I took a walk in the park ,then I realized it
stumbled round in the dark, for a moment it was clear, for a moment saw inside, and then couldn’t deny it, for a lifetime spent in blindness, for all the decades lost in ego
out the top of my head, came a sliver of silver, with the slightest tint of red, if it was blood it doesn’t matter, the diagnosis was now muddied, by my constant references to dubious sorts, falling down, fall to earth
rising up, go back to where you’re wanted
call a tiny toe a head but it doesn’t change a thing, lost the election but instead, you made false claims, you posted to your kind
lies transform into acceptance, falling down, fall to earth , rising up, go back to where you’re wanted, falling down, fall to earth , come around, go back to where you’re wanted
