Their souls left this place a long time ago
And now there's jungles and other strange arrangements
And in the evening they have swung
Glory and depressing
Will there ever be another way around it
They used to be controlled
A single solid light
Devoted to a thin and narrow way
Sifting through the sand with a blistered hand
Waiting to be choked by an angel
Well the face did appear like a shining window
And I peered in to see what was glowing
There was motion
There was power
It was celibate and sour
An emblem of strength and duration
Well they've spoken out aloud of a spirit so white
Rooted through the grapevines and the tresses
They rode their flocks of gold
And their other holy transports
That took them to a heaven that was fierce
Well a man beside a woman
A God on equal footing
Salvation was just another exit
The mange and the squalor
And the gospels they all holler
They're radiating backwards and forwards
Through the railways and stations
And their hideous vibrations
Their souls frayed at the edges
But there's tatters and there's tangles
And there's signs from every angle
You won't know where to go till you start moving
You won't know where to go till you start moving
