Three Rusty Reivers
Three rusty reivers in a flower-van
search for their comrade, the ailing Circus Man.
No sign of him since the wild times fell through

These stretchy old faces, two drunks and their whore,
of welcome round here well the plague would find more'
then he slams shut the door,
and a radio plays, from a truck far away 'Rose Marie...'
Three rusty reivers, a woman and two men,
once shared the same bed, you know how, way back when.
They go back to their homes on the groaning old bus
the sky's awful blue
that one night's not discussed.
