Spiralling falling, a silver machine
from wings of freedom silent above
eyelids were burning, summer sun roasting
fumbling chrome in the clear blue sky
brighter than sunshine for all of our life times
1000 stars turned day into night at the end
where were you when it fell from the sky?
I saw the movie, I read the reply
in the beginning there was only the word
people were kissing in front of their shadows
children were playing out in the yard
I am not guilty made no difference
I wasn't born and I wasn't made on that day
where were you when it fell from the sky?
I saw the movie, I read the reply
in the beginning there was only the word
strange death in paradise
She fixed me in the corner with that beutiful brown eye.
She said I'd like to meet you I was so suprised.
Well, what can I do for you. What can you do for me.
We made for the exit had to wait and see.
I hope I'm not wasting your precious time.
I no your not wasting mine.
We came together over coffee with milk.
She never stopped till every drop was spilled.
[CHORUS:]
She was a zulu lulu.
Broke my back and my heart at the same time.
It was nice.
Just a zulu lulu.
I had to move on when I came back she'd gone.
She dropped to her knees. I guess she had religion.
She lived with her mother. Had been a good girl twice.
When I asked her to comment on her present position.
She said she'd like to take a late preachers advise.
I ain't looking for sympothy.
But prayers for the wicked are kinda nice.
She said I don't like to preach to the converted.
I said you could be a good girl more than twice.
Like this.
[CHORUS:]
I ain't looking for sympothy.
But prayers for the wicked are kinda nice.
She looked me up and down and said Assiagod for me.
I began to see god. She said, wait and see babe.
Wait. Wait. Im coming.
[CHORUS:]
Here, in a church, a small boy is kneeling
He prays to a god he does not know, he cannot feel
All of his sins of childhood he will remember
He will not cry, tears he will not cry
Man of sorrows, I won't see your face
Man of sorrows, you left without a trace
His small boy wonders, what was it all about?
Is your journey over - has it just begun?
Vision of a new world from the ashes of the old
"Do what thou wilt!", he screams from his cursed soul
A tortured seer, a prophet of our emptiness
Wondering why, wondering why...
Man of sorrows, I won't see your face (I won't see your face)
Man of sorrows, you left without a trace
His small boy wonders, what was it all about?
Is your journey over - has it just begun?
A man of sorrows, wrecked
With thoughts that dare not speak their name
Trapped inside a body, made to feel only guilt and shame
His anger all his life - "I hate myself!", he cried
"Do what thou wilt!"
"Do what thou wilt!", he cried
Man of sorrows, I won't see your face (I won't see your face)
Man of sorrows, you left without a trace (left without a trace)
His small boy wonders, what was it all about?
Is your journey over - has it just begun?
Man of sorrows, I won't see your face (I won't see your face)
Man of sorrows, you left without a trace (left without a trace)
His small boy wonders, what was it all about?
Is your journey over - has it just begun?
Has it just begun?
