Caravan - John Cale

I’m slipping away from planet earth

Hand in my pocket full of dirt

Shaking all over

Shaking all over with the funny stuff

Climbing the fens in the Norfolk Broad

Waiting for Godot and Niagara Falls

Mustn’t be late for the caravan

Mustn’t be early for the garbage man

I give you a host of reasons to go

You come back marked address unknown

Sandwiched between a question of honour

In the quiet mark of a medicine man

You’re sitting alone at the traffic light

The pain is real you’re ghostly white
