Holy Moses
(from the CD Nails and Crosses)
This is the new world a funny kind of symphony
This is the new world a sky without a sun
This is the new world running out of sympathy
Jogging down the avenue jogging's kind of fun
This is New York the sky is kind of hazy
This is New York the trigger to the gun
This is New York everybody is crazy
Bruce is on the radio and God is on the run.
Holy Moses hold on tight
Holy Moses I need a woman tonight.
This is tomorrow sinking like a sunset
Bleeding like a woman dying like a man
This is the ice age this is the dreamtime
This is the p.r.o.m.i.s.e.d. land
This is the future; this is Albert Einstein
This is the hero without the silly prize
This is the loser falling for the third time
This is the movie where everybody cries.
Sister I love you; you are my desire
I could be better but you know I could be worse
Let's go to bed and throw a log upon the fire
Fly away together and forget the universe
This is a quickie this is not the big one
This is a quickie; sticky and hot
This is a quickie; ciao and see you later
This is what we wanted sister; this is what we got.
God had a son who walked upon the water
Every night I pray down upon my knees
He had a son but maybe what he wanted was a daughter
Come and kiss me better sister pretty; pretty please.
