Rundgren, Todd - Zen Archer Lyrics
Pretty bird with feathers falling
Pretty as a lady calling
For her pink and midnight lover
As she stares into the water
And there can't be no disguising
That the pretty bird is dying
With a silver arrow lying at its side
Rivers of blood,
Oceans of tears,
Life without death,
And death without reason
To the whole United Nations,
To the moment that you realize
As a dark figure slips from out of the shadow
Pretty bird closes its eyes, pretty bird dies
Another pretty thing dead on the end of the shaft
Of the Zen Archer
A man in parts forgotten
With an outlook that is rotten
And an attitude to match it
Finds relief inside a hatchet
And he halved someone in Boulder
Justifiability is in the hands of the beholder
And you just don't know what people will do next
Mountains of pain,
Valleys of love,
Death without life,
And life without meaning
To the promise kept and broken
To the love that's never spoken
Just as surely as I'm in your ears
A dark figure slips from out of the shadow

Rundgren, Todd Zen Archer Comments
llegue por charly y me encontre con una bestia de la poesía con una gran voz, me hace acordar a adrian belew
Será che? Es muy groso Rundgren, pero también es muy distinto a Belew.
Si, son distintos, pero en como usan distintos recursos tímbricos; como si tuvieran distintas voces en la voz
Can't get enough.
How did he come up with this? Fucking amazing.

Wizard album shows the world how exquisitely Todd can put together so many emotions . One of my favorites. Just keep comin back. Aahhhh feels sooo good. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Weird and wonderful Todd...
we listened to this album origionaly in Quad.. the arrows going through all 4 speakers was awsome.. just a great Album!!
Masterpiece
Hear “bow, arrow and archer become one.”
Love how the song has a very somber yet comforting feeling with his background vocals near the end
this song is the opposite of comforting
Eh that’s just my opinion. I think the ending has a sorta chill ‘life goes on’ vibe despite the song being super chaotic.
I just feel sorry for all the people who have\will never hear\d this song
btw im really drunk and cant really see the key board
The awesome thing is he played everything on this album. Loops. Tracks. All the instruments. No sampling.
Nope. Not this one he didn't. This is Utopia #2 basically.
Brilliant album by a true genius
Todd is a genius .
This album is what this man is all about. Signature style and production. Todd will hook'ya if your not careful. 😜
Sounds like a cross between early Brian Eno and Surf's Up-era Beach Boys. Brilliant.
Great LP here !! Nazz"s Ist is a gem as well !!
Classic!
In the late 70's..... this album changed me 😍
Yes always love Todd even from the beginning when he was with nazz
You know you gotta be doing somthing right as an artist, when you make your listener feel like there a part of something greater by just knowing your music
A dark figure steps...
I feel you
excelente
Gracias compañero de idioma :D
Magnifique morceau avec des sublimes voix ( harmonies et mélodie ). . . . . GREAT composition !
My all time favorite Todd Rundgren track, which is saying something.
A musical genius who with this album intentionally chose to be an artist, NOT a pop star.
What a great song!
Genius!
