Pigeons and crumbs

[Mach]

Just in case the title is a total mystery to people out there:  I was
trying to come up with a title, and happened to have one of my CD's in
the player at the time, and found one of the songs appropriate, not only
in tone, but the lyrics as well.  Since it is one of the B-sides on the
album, and I don't think it's gotten much, if any, airplay, I'll reprint
the lyrics here.  Feel free to skip this post.

(NB: if this seems at odds to what is going on in the post, it is
because things are rarely what they seem, especially w/ a Changeling
involved.  So, this might help, actually.)

Gotta get back
Gotta figure out a way
I'm losing--my senses to you
Where'd it go, the bluebird I should follow
	back home?  But where is home?

Guess it won't amount to much
Won't be long before I crush
I'll stand in line

Don't believe a thing they say, today
Seems we all get lost amongst 
	the pigeons and the crumbs

All alone
But I'm in a crowded room
I'm sinking, in quicksand tonight
You pick me up, and I shine across the sky 
	till morning, then you colour me in

Guess it won't amount to much 
Seems to me I've lost my touch
I'm back in line

Don't believe a thing they say today
Turn around and walk away
Everything will go your way, I pray
Seems well all get lost amongst 
	the pigeons and the crumbs
