There was a time when
 I gave you more than words
More than anything you'd ever return
Inspiration - suggesting much
but never idleness to rise above

There was time once
 to fit the glove
of creativity to every up
 and be the crested bird I love
never scavengers that push and shove

Pigeons and doves - Pigeons and doves
Pigeons and doves wide angle
Pigeons and doves
 one perching just enough the other marching
a crowded street
Pigeons and doves - strangers thereof
 not to each other to each other's greed
Pigeons and doves - One with a taste for blood
 the other trying to stay free

I believe - now more than ever past
 there's extenuance and vain excuse
in the tendency to peddle clemency
 for our atrocities of abuse

Pigeons and doves - Pigeons and doves
Pigeons and doves wide angle
Pigeons and doves
One with a taste for blood
 the other trying to stay free

Pigeons and doves - Strangers thereof
Not to each other - to each other's greed
Pigeons and doves
One with a taste for blood
 the other trying to stay free
Pigeons and doves - Pigeons and doves
Pigeons and doves wide angle
Pigeons and doves

 One perching just enough
The other stalking our streets
