John Cale - Buffalo Ballet (Solo Piano - Hamburg 1983)

John Cale - Buffalo Ballet
Live @ Markthalle
Hamburg, Germany
March 7, 1983

"Buffalo Ballet" was the encore and the final song of the evening.

-

When Abilene was young and gay
And thunder storms filled up the day
The cattle roamed outside the town

Sleeping in the midday sun
Sleeping in the midday sun
Sleeping in the midday sun
Sleeping in the midday sun

Then tracks were lain across the plain
By broken old men in torrid rain
The towns grew up and the people were still

Sleeping in the midday sun
Sleeping in the midday sun
Sleeping in the midday sun
Sleeping in the midday sun

We all joined in and we all joined hands
And we all joined in to help run the land
Then soldiers came, long long ago
Rode through the town and rode down those
who were

Sleeping in the midday sun
Sleeping in the midday sun
Sleeping in the midday sun
Sleeping in the midday sun

Gold came and went, quickly spent
And the people broke down and often drowned
From the wealth and pain of old Abilene

Sleeping in the midday sun
Sleeping in the midday sun
Sleeping in the midday sun
Sleeping in the midday sun
