Prophet In Plain Clothes |
| He walks the streets collar up to the snowfall. |
| Holes in pockets and knees. |
| Sleeps in bar rooms and horse stalls. |
| But you can’t stay too long in one place. |
| «move along kid, we don’t like your face.» |
| Mother’s hold children close out of fear. |
| Father’s curse under breath as they sneer. |
| And he walks the streets, years pass by with the snowfall. |
| Time is wasted in drink, |
| Days begging and lost souls. |
| Holds no merit in vagrants in boxcars. |
| Down in hell you best know who your friends are. |
| «not so proud scrounging for your next meal. |
| No alibis sold when with devils you deal. |
| How does it feel |
| How does it feel |
| How does it feel |
| How does it feel to be all alone with no direction? |
| Home’s never home, |
| It’s just the place where you came from. |
| Home’s never home, |
| It’s just the place where you came from. |
| Home’s never home, |
| It’s just the place where you came from. |
| Home’s never home, |
| Writ on walls of the church and the hostels. |
| «home is never home,"said by martyrs and lost souls. |
| «home is never home,"said the prophet in plain clothes |
| As he strummed his guitar. |
| and he screamed, and he sang. |
| «we'll I’ve been tired |
| Cause' I don’t sleep so well on trains |
| Well I got ups and downs |
| But days are all the same |
| I’ve been low |
| But it never gets me down |
| Well I’ve been thrown out |
| I’ve been let down |
| I’ve been chased |
| Well I’ve hardships |
| I’ve been stripped of pride and name |
| I’ve been low |
| But it never gets me down |
| And nights spent drinking |
| All the worry from my head |
| And days spent wandering |
| Wishing I was dead |
| If I could only muster |
| The words out from my mouth |
| I would sing |
| Oh I would sing |
| I’ll take the next train out |
| Cause I’ve been hopin' |
| I’ve been praying theres some god |
| So when I die |
| I’m found and saved |
| And I’m not lost |
| Cause all he’s done |
| All for me |
| Is take away the ones I love |
| And nights spent drinking |
| All the worry from my head |
| And days spent wandering |
| Wishing I was dead |
| If I could only muster |
| The words out from my mouth |
| I would sing |
| Oh I would sing |
| I’ll take the next train out |
| I’m gonna take it" |
