(from their awesome "Feast of Wire" album, highly recommended). The lyrics go: <blockquote> With a head like a vulture And heart full of hornets He drives off the cliff And into the blue Not even the priestess With her wrenches and Secret powers Could save him From danger For a little while Not even she Could save him </blockquote> I never understood that song before, but... is that not Wilie? Isn't Caprice the goddess of chance? Don't those first four lines perfectly describe the life of a gritty pinch runner? Or a guy facing free agency who wants to go to the National League? So there’s a Calexico song called “Not Even Stevie Nicks…” (from their awesome “Feast of Wire” album, highly recommended). The lyrics go:

With a head like a vulture
And heart full of hornets
He drives off the cliff
And into the blue
Not even the priestess
With her wrenches and
Secret powers
Could save him
From danger
For a little while
Not even she
Could save him

I never understood that song before, but… is that not Wilie? Isn’t Caprice the goddess of chance? Don’t those first four lines perfectly describe the life of a gritty pinch runner? Or a guy facing free agency who wants to go to the National League?
