lyrics

I wanted to show them, the bigwigs at corporate
That my auto car could fly
They called it a Pinto
I called it a Mizar
The falcon flies alone
The falcon's all alone

But you always insist upon using
Your boyish good looks and charm
Winning over hearts and minds is something
You look at like selling cars
God I wish I was selling cars
So much simpler selling used cars

He wanted to drink blood
But just not any blood
The blood of the young and dumb
Stalin said, Sounds like fun.
But you drank the wrong one
Now the falcon sleeps alone
The falcon's all alone.

But you always insist upon using
Your boyish good looks and charm
Winning over hearts and minds is something
You look at like playing cards
God I wish I was playing cards
So much simpler playing those cards

The falcon's all alone
