|
Well, I'm alive like a sprouting seed, like the deepest roots of an ancient tree |
|
I did not come here for the bread, no, I have come to wake the dead |
|
They'll say tell us Jack what have you seen, where will you go, now what does it mean |
|
Come on boys, you got to do it right, pray to the moon in the middle of the night |
|
Come on Jack, what do you know, what have you seen, where will you go |
|
Come on boys, I got to tell you true, I'm a stranger here just like you |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
I get high as the morning sky, this song I sing will never die |
|
I get low as a gravel road, in a thousand tongues my story's told |
|
I'm throwing heat like a funeral pyre, we can get along like a house on fire |
|
This world she's cold, this world is mean, my heart is stone, my hands are clean |
|
They'll say tell us Jack where will you go, what have you seen, what do you know |
|
Come on boys, you got to do it right, pray to the moon in the middle of the night |
|
Come on Jack what do you know, where have you seen, where will you go |
|
Come on boys, I gotta tell you true, I'm a stranger here just like you |
|
[Chorus] |
|
Watch me roll like an iron wheel, I can stack the deck when the spirits deal |
|
Time cannot hold me in this cage, I'm cheating death, I jump the grave |
|
They'll say tell us Jack, what have you seen, where will you go, what does it mean |
|
Come on boys, you got to do it right, you better pray to the moon in the middle of the night |
|
Come on Jack, where will you go, what have you seen, what do you know |
|
Come on boys, I gotta tell you true, I'm a stranger here just like you |
|
[Chorus] |
