Revitalization has become the pitfalls of the lame, |
|
As if I was the wind, pirouetting between the rain, |
|
I'm going to have to creep slowly if I'm going to crawl down to Paul's Tomb |
|
Because he will never ever break on through |
|
And I will never break on through |
|
And the captain cries "Transgressor" in his mega-phone is what he do, |
|
And we're just doing what we do, |
|
Oh, Donna, Donna, I am on a |
|
Aero-plane to the tepid Bahamas, |
|
Oh the sun is a cold and pale horizon, |
|
And it knows not the rays that it bequeaths unto the dying, |
|
Look at the stains and the rips in his white chain-mail, |
|
He has slipped from the precipices of his dusty campaign trail, |
|
And the company that rides at dawn does so in great fake mock-peril, |
|
As they thread their way onto the misery of Christ's wooden nail. |
|
Do you or don't you need a band-shell to scale? |
|
"I am the new man, I am the new man," as he yelled, as he bailed. |
|
Oh, I won't stand for insurrection against our one monarch, |
|
See Holy kings, and Richard, |
|
You're covered in the red red gore of your own devising, |
|
And I won't stand for insurrection against our one monarch, |
|
When you're hitching a ride with the SENSITIVE GIRLS! |
|
I'm gonna ride on their payrolls. |
|
And the captain cries to his son: "Son, I bequeath you no gold in these hills." |
|
And the captain cries to his wife: "Wife, I bequeath you no son in these hills." |
|
And they move from visionary concert to visionary concert, |
|
Questioning the strength of |
|
Their delinquent cousin's pills. |
|
And they move from visionary concert to visionary concert, |
|
Questioning the strength of |
|
Their errant cousin's will. |
|
And as a bumble-bee drowns in a golden SEA, |
|
I grow tired of these excesses, |
|
But THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE! HOPE! THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE! |
|
SHACKLE YOUR WRISTS TO THE RAZOR-LIKE RIM! |
|
HOLD ON TO THE EDGE OF THE RAZOR-LIKE RIM! |
|
NO SUICIDE! |
|
Oh Donna don't be bashful don't be shameful, |
|
They ought to show you the respect according to your station... |
|
But: you're never going to break on through. |
