Patti Smith Song Lyrics
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 |
