I keep thinking that you are going to change
I keep thinking that you are going to rearrange
But I'm a fool to think something so impossible

You ain't ever gonna change
You ain't ever gonna change
Oh no, Jericho

Until I blow

I keep thinking that you are going to write

I keep thinking that you are going to compromise
But I'm a fool to think something so improbable
You ain't ever gonna rise

You ain't ever gonna rise, oh no
Jericho, until I take you by surprise


Baby, I know that you're too sad to cry
My little darling, guess what? So am I
Still I believe we ought to shed a tear

The open hearted have no thing to fear

But I don't even think you hear me at all

Under your medieval ceiling behind your biblical wall
Guess I'll have to put my trumpet back in the case
And get behind this here canon covered in lace

Covered in lace

I keep thinking that you are going to change

I keep thinking that you are going to rearrange
But I'm a fool to think something so impossible
You ain't ever gonna change

You ain't ever gonna change
Oh no, Jericho
Until I blow

Until I blow
