As the sun rose up over the sea
Everyone was singing in a minor key
Buddhists, Hindus, Jews and Priests
Gathered around for the jubilee
Two old ladies still waiting on a sign
Growing better with age like the Yellow Tail wine
Shouting at the junkies in the Court Street light
"Do the next right thing or the next thing right!" “
OH OH
You're a long way from home,
hear me sing
OH OH
People need a miracle,
To do the next right thing
Hey heaven forces and acquire your preachers
Hey diddle diddle now the fiddle screeches
Moaning up the stairs and rolling in bed
She been talking to God since 2 a.m.
Saying "I don't wanna go, I don't wanna die,
But a sister's gotta save her seat in the sky.
You can judge me, grade me, shed some light,
Do the next right thing or the next thing right"
OH OH
You're a long way from home,
hear me sing
OH OH
People need a miracle,
To do the next right thing
OH OH
You're a long way from home,
hear me sing
OH OH
People need a miracle,
To do the next right thing
