Lyrics Amen - Alex Ebert

Amen

Old Man hypnotized
Spiders with ancient eyes
Black dogs who come in herds
Old Man, the word
Old Man, the word
Raised on golden days
God love the USA
Fed on the purple haze
Young men today
He heard them say
Amen, Amen, Amen
I’ll never say goodbye
I’ll never tell you lies
I’m never gonna die
Amen, Amen, Amen
Became the power man
Raised on the ocean
His hands, wrinkled brown
Melt with the sound, melt with the sound
Heros in silver scenes
Real men never scream
Old man I heard you dream
Old man, the sound
Amen, Amen, Amen
Young man’s memories
Stay with the summer leaves
Old man, we can not see
Old men decay
Slip slow away
Old man, we’ll hold your face
The suns danced for your song
Old man looked around
Heard but the sound
Amen, Amen, Amen
I’ll never say goodbye
I’ll never tell you lies
I’m never gonna die
Amen, Amen, Amen
