The Mighty Sparrow - Ted Leo and the Pharmacists

When the cafe doors exploded, I reacted, too

Reacted to you

Cast into that sunny morning, I was coming too

But now I’m coming too

Papers in the wind a-waltzing, I was dancing, too

My mind danced to you

Lifted up on wings of strangers, saw a face and knew

Then I saw you — red, white and bruised

Silent for a moment, then singing, I thought I could hear

Singing turned to sirens as ringing returned to my ears

And the sirens called me back to their miserable rock

While you’re following the sparrow, I can only follow the clock
