I thought I'd take a walk today It's mistake I sometimes make Kids lay asleep in bed My wife lay wide awake Kissed her softly on the brow I tried not to make a sound But with stony eyes she looked at me And then gently squeezed my hand Call it a premonition, call it a crazy vision Call it intuition, somethin' learned from mother But when she looked up at me, I could clearly see The Sword of Damocles hangin' directly above her Oh Lord, oh my Lord Oh Lord Have I offended thee? Wrap your tender arms around me Oh Lord, oh Lord Oh my Lord They called at me through the fence They were not makin' any sense They claimed I'd lost the plot Kept sayin' that I was not The man I used to be They held their babes aloft Threw marshmellows at the security And said that I'd grown soft Call it intuition, call it a creeping suspicion But their words of derision meant they hardly knew me For even I could see, the way they stared at me The spear of a destiny are stickin' on right through me Oh Lord, oh my Lord Oh Lord Have I offended thee? Wrap your tender arms round me Oh Lord, oh Lord Oh my Lord Now I'm at the hairdressers People watch me as they move past A guy wearin' plastic antlers Presses his bum against the glass Now I'm down on my hands and knees And it's so fuckin' hot Someone cries, what are you lookin' for? I scream, the plot, the plot I grab my telephone, I call my wife at home She screams, leave us alone, I say, hey, it's only me The hairdresser with his scissors, he holds up the mirror I look back and shiver, I can't even believe what I can see Be mindful of the prayers you send Pray hard but pray with care For the tears you are cryin' now Are just your answered prayers Ladders of life we scale merrily Move mysteriously around So that when you think you're climbin' up, man In fact you're climbin' down Into the hollows of glamour, where with spikes and hammer With telescopic camera, they chose to turn the screw Oh I hate them ma, oh I hate them, pa Oh I hate them all for what they went and done to you Oh Lord, oh my Lord Oh Lord Have I offended thee? Wrap your tender arms round me Oh Lord, Oh Lord Oh My Lord © MUTE SONG; Bu döküman AkorMerkezi.com'da yayınlanmıştır. http://www.akormerkezi.com
