Well I see the prophet And the foward fake And I hold it to your eyes
And the wind is spurned To the trees And spurning on your charms
And the ways are laughing on On your door And the man is coming all old
And when when the crime is over Who is safe Who is safe And who is gospel oak
On the glamorous night Each cragged end And the murderer core survived
From the tunes today It's sold your space And I don't know your crime
From the board is slain And honoured tall And the wind it is so cold
And they're dueling on a foreign race Foreign race Foreign raced it all
So make cupped to me now It's a long long lazy raves down streets' names
Don't give yer cap to me now From the raging cloth and the ranging klaxon changed
Raise down Your soul Your down In bloom Raise down Hear slay On and on Human race
Don't give up on me now No don't give up on me now Now now so alone
