Sept 15 1983 |
Long dinner with some friends |
Way out way out in Portmore |
Servants of the pharaoh |
Slip in through the open door |
All business |
Bearing knives and zip-guns |
So get on the floor now every last one |
Every last one |
The heat drifts across the land |
If I forget you Israel |
Let me forget my right hand |
And on the floor Michael James Williams |
Feels his fingers start to freeze |
And the whole scene’s like a movie |
Paramedics on their knees |
Try try your whole life |
To be righteous and be good |
Wind up on your own floor |
Choking on blood |
The heat drifts across the land |
If I forget you Israel |
Let me forget my right hand |
And the house still smells like onions |
When the ambulance arrives |
Gabriel in postal blue |
Loads up the car and drives to Spanish Town |
About three miles away |
Where will the wicked run to on that last day? |
The heat drifts across the land |
If I forget you Israel |
Let me forget my right hand |
