Lyrics
there`s a pale red tail hawk, sittin' on top a power pole. lord of the high rise balcony, for miles and miles and rows and rows. now he don't move, he just watch, can see alot from a power pole.
He don`t even move when he fly, you know man, he just glides. all you see is a shadow fallin' then somethin' pierce the sky.
Now when hawk, he takes off, circles wide above central park, lord of the skyline of Manhatten, he`s scanning the tracks made by human hands. He don`t work, why should he. knows his role is right on top. He don`t even work when he fly, you know man he just glide. all you see is a shadow fallin', then somethin' pierce the sky.
