Beer the Hoople


I was walking up a mountain
Just me, no dog
Everything I could see
Was green, invigorating

I was walking with a mountain

There were fields of flowers
Where horses galloped in liberty
There were forests
Of the tallest trees

I was walking with a mountain

There were the birds of Anarchy
Singing their Anarchist songs
Every kind of Canadian wildlife
Walked on by or beside me

I was walking with a mountain

Mountain beaver, moose,
Mountain lions, wolverines
Deer and Roosevelt elk
Was I dreaming of a petting zoo?

I was walking with a mountain

At the top of the mountain
Was a suburb of houses
With lawns and low fences
Naked women washing their windows

I was walking with a mountain

All the men were away
At their jobs and their wars
So I knocked on a door
And did what you'd do

I was walking with a mountain
