(Lake, Sinfield) | |
There may be an om in moment | |
But there’s very few folk in focus | |
Not the first, not the last, not the least. | |
You needn’t be well to be wealthy | |
But you’ve got to be whole to be holy | |
Fetch the rope, fetch the clock, fetch the priest. | |
Oh this planet of ours is a mess | |
I bet Heaven’s the same | |
Look the madman said, "Son, As a friend, tell me what’s in a name," | |
Hallowed be thy name. | |
I give you the state of statesmen | |
And the key to what motivates them | |
On the left, on the right, on the nail | |
Still I don’t see a man in a mansion | |
That an accurate pen won’t puncture | |
Go to town, go to hell, go to jail. | |
And there’s bars and saloons | |
Where the jukebox plays blues in the night | |
Till the madman says "Son, Time to go we could both use some light" | |
And thy will be done. | |
We live in an age of cages | |
The tale of an ape escaping | |
In the search for some truth he can use | |
But many a drunk got drunker | |
And mostly a thinker, thunker | |
Set the place, set the time, set the fuse, | |
The optimist laughed and the pessimist cried in his wine | |
And the madman said “ | |
Son, Take a word they’ll all wake given time” | |
Let thy kingdom come | |
The madman and | |
I got drunker | |
Till both thought the other thank you | |
And we laughed all the way to the stars | |
The optimist asked for a taste of the pessimist’s wine | |
And the madman said “ | |
Son, How do you feel?” | |
I said “Me? | |
I feel fine | |
Lead me into temptation | |
Into temptation | |
I said into temptation | |
I need my allocation of recreation | |
I want a revelation in degradation | |
No hesitation, give me variation, give me inspiration...” |
