about

The willow men, sitting on their willow chairs, pushing people around, like paper...

lyrics

It’s a mystery smile, a gesture arcane
My dumb wide eyes look, then look again
And no one knows, nobody knows then
What to do or what to say, how or when
To the willow men

Movers and shakers, towering tall
Nobody knows, they just rise and fall
Time and tide is a mystery here
That river’s flow holds no fear

For the willow men
Oh the willow men
For the willow men
Oh the willow men

Dark sarcasm, and truth that hides
Nobody ever knows how they divide
The children wait under the hot empty sky
They know and go and keep running on dry

My life, it’s on the line, it’s all in a file
No one knows, nobody knows
Where it moves or lies
Only the willow man
He’ll pick it up and smile
Oh mercy, another untaught rule
And I’m the fool
Send me back to school

Send me back to school
Throw that rule book at me now!
Send me back to school
Woah, you played me for a fool
Send me back to school

The willow man
His turn will come
The willow man
His number called

The willow man
Will have to go
