The Book of Numbers |
Bring me a glass of water, |
To wash the dirt from my throat, |
I’ve been wandering my whole life out there, |
Would you help me out of my coat? |
This water’s as clear as crystal, |
We should thank the Lord for that, |
Now, sit you down and hear my story, |
And find somewhere for my hat. |
The barkeep takes the stranger’s hat, |
And finds a vacant hook, |
And turns back towards the traveller, |
His right hand on an old black book. |
The holy Book of Numbers, |
I take it’s something that you’ve read? |
The long search in the wilderness, |
For a place to lay my head. |
So many parables in the scriptures, |
But this one I’m doomed to tell, |
For I stormed the gates of Heaven, |
To find myself in Hell. |
This is my lonely mission, |
To wake the world up to its fate, |
To dismantle my own invention, |
For the hour is getting late. |
This holy Book of Numbers, |
As I walk through the shadow of death, |
Tell me are you listening, boy, |
Or am I just wasting my breath? |
There are fools in the courts of power, |
While I’ve walked through this vale of bitter tears, |
At the mercy of recording angels, |
For three score and twenty five years. |
The barkeep gets up from the table, |
To fill up another glass, |
When he turns around to find an empty chair, |
All that’s left... is the name in his hat. |
