"Holy Man" lyrics

They call to me, they cry to me
I had a vision across the sand

And up until then I dreamed through life
With my mother's four brothers and their wives

I chose you eventually
Oh silly, over the river

'Cause in the streets, cocaine nights
It sets a high charisma

Where there's a whispering 2am folk
There's a stance as they're takin' the run-aways

When I opened my mouth to speak somehow
I found it all came out quite clumsy

I want the same thing everyday
I got hopeless, I felt Tesha flee

They said to get on that boat and ride
I took a 12-day trip back to their hive

Throwing off the sea
Through eyes and lens
Sacred machine
Hardworking man
For alien creed
The place of the ram looking at me
I'm looking at them
The waves that rise the pain has carried down
Behind those eyes are rolling to his sound
His shaking and his chewing just for count
Oh oh, it's him
Holy priest, holy chief, holy man
Holy chief, holy man

Slaves slaves stagger in line
Allowing incense aligns

Sway and serene I am
That the man asked me to take care of them

I take the world's full weight on my tongue
I say a song is anything that's sung

I touch my freezing hands to the drum
I say a song is anything that's sung

Up on the lookout point with my passing gun
I say a law is anything that's done

I feel the many ifs to the one
I say above is anything that's run

Throwing off the sea
Through eyes and lens
The hem of his sleeve
Hardworking man
The pilgrims they weep
They lying around
They're livin' for me
I'm livin' for them
The sky goes black
The cattle going wild
The virgins as they shake extend it out
He stand and also care for us cast down
Oh oh, it's him
Holy freak, holy thief, holy man
Holy thief, holy man
