False Prophet

Another day that don't endAnother ship goin' outAnother day of anger, bitterness, and doubtI know how it happenedI saw it beginI opened my heart to the world and the world came inHello Mary LouHello Miss PearlMy fleet-footed guides from the underworldNo stars in the sky shine brighter than youYou girls mean business and I do tooWell I'm the enemy of treasonEnemy of strifeEnemy of the unlived meaningless lifeI ain't no false prophetI just know what I knowI go where only the lonely can goI'm first among equalsSecond to noneLast of the bestYou can bury the restBury 'em naked with their silver and goldPut them six feet under and pray for their soulsWhat are you lookin' atThere's nothing to seeJust a cool breeze that's encircling meLet's go for a walk in the gardenSo far and so wideWe can sit in the shade by the fountain-sideI search the world overFor the Holy GrailI sing songs of loveI sing songs of betrayalDon't care what I drinkDon't care what I eatI climbed the mountains of swords on my bare feetYou don't know me darlin'You never would guessI'm nothing like my ghostly appearance would suggestI ain't no false prophetI just said what I saidI'm just here to bring vengeance on somebody's headPut out your handThere's nothing to holdOpen your mouthI'll stuff it with goldOh you poor devil look up if you willThe city of God is there on the hillHello strangerA long goodbyeYou ruled the landBut so do IYou lost your muleYou got a poison brainI'll marry you to a ball and chainYou know darlin'The kind of life that I liveWhen your smile meets my smile something's got to giveI ain't no false prophetNo I'm nobody's brideCan't remember when I was bornAnd I forgot when I died
