I Was There
Lyricist:Matthew Rowbottom, Pamela Eileen Sheyne
Take my advice, it doesn't get easier Watching the golden orbs floating out of the bars And into space there's Frank Sinatra on the Juke box Pause in the ketchup, your face in the reflection in the mirror
He walked through the rocks, you know He walked through the scorpion dust And he walks on the beach and now, and he walks And he keeps walking 'til he's out of reach
Every generation watches the princes of their nation file away Until the Son of Man every, every Madonna means So little to the next one We ran together down the Santa Monica Boulevard Oh baby, you look so hard, so fine And my second-hand Capella all that night, I said, ooh and I said, ooh
There you are in your write dress shirt Most of all I think I loved your hands I loved them so much that it hurt And all the bartenders knew your name
And all the pimps knew your car and we led by the Nazz And we were blessed yes, we are You tell them I was there hey, I was there, man I was there When Jesus walked, I was there when Jesus walked
Now, I don't know what happened, what happened was Babylon Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And that little Sheeba with her siren song and, and the planets swirling Where no one's ugly and everyone's square Hey, no one's ugly and everyone's square
There's no such place I heard such peace when he played those traps I heard such peace when he looked out at the map And it ran through me and echoed into Another time and space and place
And it ran through me, way on back in time, way on up is fine Way one back in time, way on up is fine, way on back in time Take my advice and go throw it away It's gonna do you no good until you blow for good
'Cause you are there, man you are there don't you know you are there Where our Jesus walked, every generation, yeah The princes of their nation Well, I'm ugly, too, no, no, no you're not beautiful, no, you're ugly too
'Cause you've been traveling in so many universes And you manifest here, it's difficult to see who you are Brother I didn't realize that you were talking to me Until you broke that bread and I saw that you were
Where have you been that you don't know What's been going on here in Jerusalem Haven't you heard, haven't you heard about the Nazarene You know we thought we were gonna set Israel free, hey
