Jerusalem |
I was looking at the day moon |
When the smoke it faded away |
I thought I saw some Jesus |
You know I, I thought I heard some Jesus say |
«Take your friends and neighbors, and everyone you love |
First thing this mornin', boy, you better get out of L.A.» |
And you know, he said «Right now» |
I said «Might not be the Lord too soon? |
How could you make the innocent pay? |
If you could find just one good man |
Would you try to save this wicked town today?» |
And a voice said «Tell your sisters and your brothers, and anyone you love |
Boy, you better get out of L.A.» |
And you know, he said «Right now» |
Jerusalem, oh Jerusalem |
How long would I have gathered you on board together? |
Just as a hen gathers her baby, ah yes |
Under her wings, wings, wings |
And you would not |
And then humming a meaningless ruin, you know |
Those voices faded away |
I thought I saw a black dove flyin' |
She was crying down, candling the way |
She was singin' «Tell your fathers and your mothers and everyone you love |
First thing this mornin', boy, you better get out of L.A.» |
And the Lord said «Right now» |
