Providence Lyrics by Harpeth Rising

Shifted

0

I took the last train to Providence
Pulled in just before the lights all went
They said “Welcome, it’s no coincidence
You got here just in time for the main event
We got plans for you”
I looked around once, then once again
Everything stayed just where it had been
I said, “Mister there’s been a strange mistake
This is just the station where they hit the breaks
There’s no plans for me”
He took my hand, smiled and shook his head
The others all keeping their eyes straight ahead
He said, “Child, you don’t understand
No one stops here unless its part of the plan
You better fall in line”
It’s gonna be divine
When you see the truth
You’re gonna love this place
We got the fountain of youth
And the Holy Grail
Is your coffee cup
And your dinner guests
Are the higher ups
I thought a while on what they said
Came to the stunning conclusion I was dead
Oh, what a shock – what was I leaving behind?
Nothing so important really sprang to mind
You can count me in
It’s not so hard, friends, to understand
Why they would choose such a righteous man
I really am, you know, exemplary
They’re building me my very own rectory
It’s all for me
It’s gonna be divine
When you see the truth
You’re gonna love this place
We got the fountain of youth
And the Holy Grail
Is your coffee cup
And your dinner guests
Are the higher ups
They took me down to my new domain
Simple, but modern, and easy to maintain
The walls were white and clean like purity
And windows are a threat to my security
They’ve got my back
We’ll bring you robes, soft and ornate
Until then revel in your natural state
Who needs these clothes, they are beneath your place
You’ll be kept warm by the glow of grace
It’s all part of the plan
And for this cash that you’ve carried far
Money has no meaning when you own the stars
Just give it here, what do you need it for?
You don’t have to worry about that anymore
We’ve got your back
It’s gonna be divine
When you see the truth
You’re gonna love this place
We got the fountain of youth
And the Holy Grail
Is your coffee cup
And your dinner guests
Are the higher ups
Oh, something’s off, strange and very wrong
I think they’ve been playing with my mind all along
It’s been a while in this waiting room
And now I hear the rattle of an alley raccoon
Oh, how could I think that this was real?
When the boss walked out wearing bright red heels
I should have known this wasn’t Paradise
When they tell you you’ve been chosen, oh, you’d better think twice
It’s gonna be divine
