I saw my old friend Gabriel
Down the perimeter ringing the bell
I said hello

Hey man is there something wrong?
Where has everybody gone?
I don't know

Well I put a rag across my mouth
And I went out
What are you doing he said to me

I'm looking for my company
He said don't bother no


Next thing you know I took a look
Gabe was trying to sell me a book
But i got no dough

He said check it out it's going cheap
Check it out it's going cheap
Ok I'll give it a go

I read that book every page
And then I put it away
Said I don't think so


It makes slaves of all of womenkind
And corpses of the men

And I just don't know
And we care a little bit
We get scared a little bit

O? those two cold dead eyes
That stare a little a bit
And we cry a little bit

And we get by a little bit
Let your tears
All come falling down


Put me on a big white steed!
Ride it it up and down your street!

Wrapped up in a crimson coat!
Sail me in a great big boat!
I'll sail around the waters for you

Kill your sons and daughters for you!
Put me on a big white horse!
Send me down to Banbury Cross!


It's okay Joe it's time to go!
