Oh uh, |
|
I see fingers, hands and shades of faces, |
|
Reachin' up and not quite touchin' the promised land, |
|
I hear pleas and prayers and a desperate whisper sayin, |
|
Oh,Lord, please give us a helpin' hand, |
|
Yeah yeah |
|
Way down in the background, |
|
I can see frustrated souls of cities burnin, |
|
And all across the water,baby, |
|
I see weapons barkin' out the sting of death, |
|
And up in the clouds I can imagine UFOs jumpin' themselves, |
|
Laughin' they sayin', |
|
Those people so uptight, they sure know how to make a mess |
|
Back in the saloon my tears mix and mildew with my drink, |
|
I can't really tell my feet from the sawdust on the floor, |
|
But as far as I know, they may even try to wrap me up in cellophane and try and sell me |
|
Brother sell me, and don't worry about lookin at the score |
|
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah |
