PATTI SMITH lyrics : "Last Call"

In a mansion high the young man stood
Ready to join his companions good
Outside the scent of magnolia blossoms

Down streets of gold the children were racing

Just another wandering soul

Adrift among the stars
Just another human heart
Led, led away


He put his shoes on and he laid down
Outside the clouds were swiftly gathering

He drained his cup and his stirred the mixture
And he closed his eyes as his conscience whispered


Just another wandering soul
Adrift among the stars
Just another human heart

Led, led away

Misgivings unspoken he joined his companions

His face covered over in a mansion high
Outside the children gazed in wonder
At the quickening sky then slowly disbanded


Thirty-nine wandering souls
Adrift among the stars

Thirty-nine human hearts
Led, led away


His burning skin cooled by angels
Swallowing sorrows excretion
It's all excretion

Felled by his hand of the mind of another man
Who makes the decisions
Lends no provisions for mere eternal rides

Learning of course every alien force

Even Christ yearns to be

To possess the skin
And bone the blood of man
Who tends the flock who breaks the bread

Who makes his own choices
Won't listen to voices
Accept no false teachers

False preachers, good deeders
With their hands out stretched
To be filled with your money

Your mind, your heart, your imagination
Sympathy, empathy
Acknowledge all man as fellow creation

But don't follow him
Don't be led away
