1
Take my advice
2
It doesn't get easier watching the golden orbs floating out of the bars
3
And into space there's Frank Sinatra on the Juke box
4
Pause in the ketchup your face in the reflection in the mirror
5
He walked through the rocks, you know
6
He walked through the scorpion dust
7
He walks on the beach and now he walks
8
And he keeps walking 'til he's out of reach
9
Every generation watches the princes of their nation
10
File away until the Son of Man every, every Madonna means so little to the next one
11
We ran together down the Santa Monica Boulevard oh baby
12
You look so hard, so fine
13
And my second-hand capella all that night I said Oo hoo... I said Oo hoo oo hoo
14
There you are in your write dress shirt most of all I think I loved your hands
15
I loved them so much that it hurt and all the bartenders knew your name
16
And all the pimps knew your car and we lay by the Nazz
17
And we were blessed yes, we are
18
You tell them I was there hey I was there man I was there
19
When Jesus walked I was there when Jesus walked
20
Now I don't know what happened, what happened was Babylon and that little Sheba
21
With her siren song and the planets swirling
22
Where no one's ugly and everyone's square no one's ugly and everyone's square
23
There's no such place I heard such peach when he played those traps
24
I heard such peace when He looked out at the map
25
And it ran through me and echoed into another time and space and place
26
And it ran through me way on back in time way on up is fine
27
Way one back in time was on up is fine way on back in time
28
Take my advice and go throw it away it's gonna do you no good until you blow for good
29
Cause you are there man you are there don't you know
30
You are there where Jesus walked, every generation, yeah the princes of their nation
31
Well, I'm ugly, too. No, no you're not beautiful, no, you're ugly too
32
Cause you've been travelling in so many universes and you manifest here
33
It's difficult to see who you are
34
Brother I didn't realize that you were talking to me until you broke that bread and I saw that you were
35
Where have you been that you don't know what's been going on here in Jerusalem
36
Haven't you heard, haven't you heard about the Nazarene, you know
37
We thought we were gonna set Israel free
