a song about temptation and virtue and the lives we live, fighting between them
lyrics
Behold the prophet of shiney toys
As he Proclaims all the purity found in their plactic joy
The great magician who can take away your pain
Answer all your questions, Dumb you down, and get you saved
And It would all be so easy if I could only believe.
I’d take that losers deal and slumber down forever in deceit.
I’d cheer when the parade rolled through
And tow the party line and do all that I could do But I’m
Perhaps you think you’re too good to drink from the well
Superior to all us earthly pigs, animals fucking in our own smell
It would be so simple if you could just forget
And Pull your eyes from the sky on down and just pretend
But I can see you’re not totally sold
I can tell by the look in your eyes youre far from enrolled
Are you really ready to bite the hand that feeds,
Okay have it your way but I gotta warn you about the heat
Chorus:
Tied to a thing
That rang true, hear it ring
To die on a Hill
For Something real, I feel it still
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run if you can.
But I feel it calling me,
Turning me around, back around again
Bridge:
I remember a time in my life with Cool water Cool water
I ran so clear cold and sweet
