The Jaguar

Look to the sky
This violence of landscape
They always said
You had a feeling for the Earth
Stood in the shade of Fascist architecture
We still believed that one day justice would prevail
And I will always remember you smiling
Running away from the rising
Tide of emotion against you
I’m chasing a jaguar’s tail
Talk of the town
And of the Polytechnic
Talk of the smog
And all the tension in the air
Felt for the pulse
And for the comprehension
Talk of the fire
And all the pylons in the sky
And I will always remember you smiling
Running away from the rising
Tide of emotion against you
I’m chasing a jaguar’s tail
