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.
