Bright Eyes "Haile Selassie" lyrics

Haile Selassie

Pilgrim across the waterWe are the same brotherHitchhiking back to ZionHold in our tears as we flip the albumWhat if this leads to ruin?You got a soul, use itAll this despair forgivenRolling away on a Wheel of SevensShe sings like the Queen of ShebaVoice through a blown speakerOne drop and bubbling LeslieCalling me home like Haile Selassie

Pilgrim beside the fireIt's been a long winterWe got a lot in commonCover our heads as they split the atomAll of our days are numberedI've taken some comfortIn knowing the wave has crestedKnowing I don't have to be an exceptionChildren they fill the bleachersOne is the next CaesarKeep all their minds collectedUntil he comes, until he comes

Hide the Omega Day in plain sightToo good to be true

I've seen stranger thingsI've seen that tree of smokeI've seen stranger things happen before

Pilgrim up on the mountainBarefoot and still climbingFilling the Book of HoursDay after day in the filth and squalorWe are the chosen peopleSafe from the next evilOne Love, magnetic memoryReel after reel spinning within me

I had the wildest dream last nightI was swimming with youIn that cenote the heavens made with black fireJust woke up too soon

I've seen stranger thingsI've seen those daytime ghostsI've seen stranger things happen before

I've seen stranger thingsI've seen that tree of smokeI've seen stranger things happen before
