Soap Box Preacher |
Soap box preacher standing on the corner |
And all the people they would gather round |
You speak of faith with a blaze of glory |
But those that fear they wanna knock you down |
Nobody knows where you live |
Where do you go in the naked night |
All of the prophets that come before you |
They can hear your lonesome cry |
When you’re out there in the night |
All alone |
When you’re staring in the light |
At the end of the road |
In those proud shoes, coming on up the alley |
In those proud shoes, walks all over the sky |
Then he tipped his hat just like Don Quixote |
And said don’t let the rapture pass you by |
Heard a bugle blowing in the misty morning |
What a haunting sound over Times Square |
Heard of the ghost of 52nd Street |
Looked out the door but no one was there |
Out in the cold Harlem rain |
I went looking for this minstrel man |
Played me a song to ease the pain |
With a Salvation Army band |
When you’re out there on the dark |
All alone |
When you’re sleeping in the park |
At the end of the road |
In the neon wilderness and the ashphalt jungle |
He carries his cross of passion |
Through the wreckage and the rumble |
In those proud shoes, coming on up the alley |
In those proud shoes, walks all over the sky |
Then he tipped his hat just like Don Quixote |
And said don’t let the rapture |
Don’t let the rapture pass you by |
Don’t let it pass you by |
