Lyrics

I saw that hawk
And I saw that rabbit
In the ditch underneath its great gold claw
And it made me hungry
And I thought about you
How they'd finally wired your jaw shut

And I drove on home
Slow and steady
Found the driveway, spilled out from the car
Got out a sketchpad
And drew up a map
Showing the distance from here to the place where you are
And there will be tears
At the final judgment
And I will come by with my wrecking crew
And there will be tears
When the trumpets are sounding
Jungle mercies, jungle mercies
For me and you
