Praise the Lord |
Praise The Lord |
By Poi Dog Pondering |
Wishing Like A Mountain and Thinking Like the Sea |
Columbia CK 45 403 1990 |
«Praise the Lord,» he said to me |
And he seemed quite happy |
He seemed quite at ease |
And I said … «Yeah.» |
Cause I was just down at the sea |
And it occurred to me |
That I like to feel it knock me down |
Twist and throw and churn me around |
'Cause it’s the mother ocean |
And I’m just one of her sons |
And she can do just what she wants to me |
And I know she does nothing purposely |
I must respect, that goes unsaid |
But it’s all just a twist of fate |
And I know about heaven’s gate |
'Cause I’ve seen it, but not up close |
And I know it ain’t no pearly white |
And I know that I’ll be nothing there |
Just food for fish and twisting worms |
But that’s just fine with me |
'Cause when I’m being tossed by the sea |
I can feel a force greater than Misery |
Greater than my stupid job |
Greater than our stupid Bomb |
And a time comes to mind without complexity |
And she can do just what she wants to me |
And I know she does nothing purposely |
I must respect, that goes unsaid |
But it’s all just a twist of fate |
So don’t tell me about the Land of Nod |
Where we are supposed to sit at the right hand of God |
Where the Lion will lay down the the lamb |
'Cause you know damn well he’ll eat him if he can |
The Lion doesn’t wanna be pacified |
With promises of an endless life |
'Cause he knows it’s not that way |
He’s not detached he sees it everyday — |
The birth, the death and the decay |
The birth, the death and the decay |
And he accepts, and sees that it’s OK — |
He would eat us for our elitist ways |
