Pigs On the Wing, Pt. 1 - Pink Floyd

Breathe and I'll carry you away Into the velvet sky And we'll stir the stars around And watch them fall away Into the Hudson Bay And plummet out of sight and sound The open summer breeze Will sweep you through the hills Where I live in the alpine heights Below the Northern Lights I spend my coldest nights Alone, awake and thinking of The weekend we were in love (The weekend we were in love) Home among these mountain tops Can be so awfully dull A thousand miles from the tide But photos on the walls Of New York shopping malls Distract me so I stay inside I wish the rockets stayed Over the promenade 'Cause I would make a hook and eye And fish them from the sky My darling, she and I We're hanging on so take us high To sing the world goodbye I am floating away Lost in a silent ballet I'm dreaming you're out in the blue And I am right beside you Awake to take in the view Late nights and early parades Still photos and noisy arcades My darling, we're both on the wing Look down and keep on singing And we can go anywhere Are you there? Are you there Or are you just a decoy dream in my head? Am I home or am I simply tumbling all alone? I am floating away Lost in a silent ballet I'm dreaming you're out in the blue And I am right beside you Awake to take in the view Late nights and early parades Still photos and noisy arcades My darling, we're both on the wing Look down and keep on singing And we can go anywhere Are you there? Are you there?

Corrupted arrogance like some crown of thorns to adorn Twisted in the grave, the dead prince's visage is torn Fallen lord, his bloated corpse, off it they feed Like insatiable frenzied hogs satisfying their greed Feeding their greed Feed the pigs Feed the pigs all around you Feed the pigs Before they all surround you Let them eat the shit that they deserve Choking on their golden-plated turd Feed the pigs Let 'em choke on it Feed thе pigs Let 'em eat this shit Feed thе pigs Feed the pigs all around you Feed the pigs Before they all surround you Let them eat the shit that they deserve Choking on their golden-plated turd Feed the pigs Give 'em what they want Feed these fucking pigs Undeserving fucking cunts Watch them devour every bit of it Lapping it up, all vomit and spit They gorge on the garbage they are fed Not once thinking it's been long dead Feed the pigs Let 'em choke on it Feed the pigs Let 'em eat this shit

Floyd was a trapper way back in the holler Made moonshine so he could make a dollar Six feet tall, dressed in overalls And wore himself a long gray beard People say Floyd came to town one day But two law dogs got in his way Floyd never hurt no one in his life But they never came back this way No, they never came back this way And the people say... Aye, aye, aye, aye hear the hound dogs moan Aye, aye, aye, aye now that Floyd is long gone And the creeper was a creepin' and the souls they were hollerin' singin' Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye The G-men came out to track him down But the swamp was too deep, even one of them drowned They sent in the hellhounds but they turned around singing How how how how how And the people say... Aye, aye, aye, aye hear the hound dogs moan Aye, aye, aye, aye now that Floyd is long gone And the creeper was a creepin' and the souls they were hollerin' singin' Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye Yeah the souls are they were cryin' Yeah the creeper he was creepin' Sherriff Boudreaux came to talk to his neighbors All they could say is he was eaten by a gator The legend lives on but Floyd he's at home singing How how how how how And the soul said... Aye, aye, aye, aye hear the hound dogs moan Aye, aye, aye, aye now that Floyd is long gone Aye, aye, aye, aye now that Floyd is long gone There's a full moon now The moon was shinin' bright singing Aye aye aye aye aye

Last night I had too much to drink Sitting in a club with so many fools Playing to rules Trying to impress but feeling rather empty I had another drink (Drink - a - drink - a - drink - a - drink, ah) What a way to spend that evening They all turn up with their friends Playing the game But in the scene I should've been Far away (Away - away - away - away - away) Getting up, I feel as if I'm remembering this scene before I open the door to an empty room Then I forget The telephone rings and someone speaks She would very much like to go out to a show So what can I do? I can't think what to say She sees through anyway (Away - away - away - away - away) Out of the front door I go Traffic's moving rather slow Arriving late, there she waits Looking very angry, as cross as she can be Be - a - be - a - be - a - be - a - be Getting up, I feel as if I'm remembering this scene before I open the door to an empty room Then I forget Ah, Ah
