[Verse 1]
Just like birds of a feather
We too have followed the golden sun
It feels so good
Knowing the watchman's gone

[Verse 2]
If I give you a rose, buddy
Would you please bury it in the fields?
I seen a rose
Watching it all fold out

[Verse 3]
There's a train down at the station
It's come to carry my bones away
Two engines on
Twenty-one coaches long
End to end
Twenty-one coaches bend
The watchman's out
Kicking the bums about

[Verse 4]
If I wait for the right moment
You can bet I'll climb aboard unseen
I've done it before
I know I can do it in my sleep
[Chorus]
The watchman's out
Kicking the bums about
The watchman's out
Kicking your dreams about

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 5]
As I leave you in the sunset
Got one more nothing I'd like to say
"You don't know me
A son of the sea am I"

[Verse 6]
This I say to you, my brother
If you live to follow the golden sun
You better beware
Knowing the watchman's always there

[Verse 7]
If you find me feeding daisies
Please turn my face up to the sky
And leave me be
Watching the moon roll by
Whatever I was
You know it was all because
I've been on the town
Washing the bullshit down
[Chorus]
The watchman's out
Kicking your dreams about
It feels so good
Knowing the watchman's gone
It's like a song
Knowing the watchman's gone
