Jerusalem Tomorrow Lyrics by David Olney

Deeper Well

0

[Verse 1]
Man, you should have seen me way back then
I could tell a tale, I could make it spin
I could tell you black was white
I could tell you day was night
Not only that, I could tell you why
Back then, I could really tell a lie
[Verse 2]
Well, I'd hire a kid to say that he was lame
Then I'd touch him and I'd make him walk again
Then I'd pull some magic trick
I'd pretend to heal the sick
I was takin' everything they had to give
It wasn't all that bad a way to live
[Verse 3]
Well, I'm in this desert town and it's hot as hell
But no one's buyin' what I got to sell
I make my lame kid walk
I make a dumb guy talk
I'm preachin' up a storm both night and day
Everyone just turns and walks away
[Verse 4]
Well, I can see that I'm only wastin' time
So I head across the road to drink some wine
This old man comes up to me
He says, "I seen you on the street
You're pretty good, if I do say so myself
But the guy come through last month, he was somethin' else
[Verse 5]
"Instead of callin' down fire from above
He just gets real quiet and talks about love
And I'll tell you somethin' funny
He didn't want nobody's money
I'm not exactly sure what this all means
But it's the damnedest thing I swear I've ever seen"
[Verse 6]
Well, since that time every town's the same
I can't make a dime, I don't know why I came
I decide I'll go and find him
And find out who's behind him
He's got everyone convinced that he's for real
Well, I figure we can work some kind of deal
[Verse 7]
Well, he offers me a job and I say fine
He says I'll get paid off on down the line
Well, I guess I'll string along
Don't see how too much could go wrong
As long as he pays my way I guess I'll follow
We're headin' for Jerusalem tomorrow
