[00:11.84] Jeroboam dreamed a golden dream
[00:15.11] Of golden lands and golden things
[00:18.57] And ivory-colored feathered wings
[00:25.89]
[00:32.20] Voices in the honey breeze
[00:36.25] Pushing on the honeybees
[00:39.71] And shaping beds from fallen leaves
[00:46.64]
[01:04.84] The Writer showed him all of these
[01:08.36] And filled his nose with pretty things
[01:11.90] And let him taste of Eden's trees
[01:22.51]
[01:40.28] But in the Light came a warring sound
[01:43.98] Of greedy blood on Hallowed Ground
[01:47.39] Jeroboam and his heavy eyes made a civil war inside
[01:54.34] His tongue stuck stiff behind his teeth
[01:57.75] His voice got tangled in his grief
[02:01.36] And Jeroboam made a thief. And Jeroboam made a thief
[02:15.65]
[02:43.83] So the Writer penned him a different tale
[02:47.36] Where proud get caught in homemade sails
[02:50.86] And crave the jewels on the wedding veil
[02:58.11]
[03:05.00] Jeroboam cried for more
[03:08.80] Clutching at the temple torn
[03:12.07] The Writer filled his hands with sores
[03:18.89]
[03:27.10] So arm yourselves with empty hands
[03:31.17] When looking at the Promised Land
[03:34.11] And find yourself a wealthy man.
