Pink Floyd - Zabriske Point
Zabriskie Point     30th May 1970    

“Country Song"    (Waters, Gilmour, Mason, Wright)
He made is his way to the border
In the shadow
Under the trees
Down by a stream in a hollow
Turn your head
Feel the breeze

And the Red Queen was waiting for the news
For the White King to move
And the balance held upon the head of one who tried

To stay within the shadows
And keep his undercover secret tight

They let him in by a back way
Into a chamber
Reserved for the Queen
She took the note that he gave her
Opened it slowly
And started to read

Run to the Treasury and bring me back some gold
Give it to the pawn who came, she cried
She says the White King thinks the game of chess is wrong
And all the courtiers crowded 'round
And this is what she told the gathered throng

Go to the store by the Dungeon

Take all the red paint
Take all the white
Make up a newborn colour
Cover your neighbour
We'll be alright

There will be no game today, she cried across the board
Everyday will be a holiday
And all the pieces cheered as tidings spread abroad
And the Pink Queen sat
And smiled at the cat who smiled back
