Joe Strummer - Long Shadow lyrics
Well I'll tell you on thing that I know You don't face your demons down You got to grab em jack And pin em to the ground The Devil may care, and maybe God he won't Better make sure you check on the Do's and the Don'ts Crawl up the Mountain To reach where the Eagles fly Sure you can glimpse from the mountaintop Where the soul of the muse might rise. And if you put it all together You wont have to look around You know you cast A Long Shadow On the Ground Then one day I could tell my tracks By the holes in the soles of my shoes And that the day I said I'm gonna make the news And falling in the garden Of days so long ago Somewhere in the memory The sun shines on you boy Playing in the Arroyos Where the American rivers flow From the Appalachians Down to the Delta Roads A man can't think so long His brain could well explode There's trains running thru the junctions A King comes down the road And if you put it all together You won't have to look around You know you cast A Long Shadow On the Ground Listen to the Country- The Night Jar and the Bell Listen to the Night Streamliner Sounding like the wolves of Hell Head for the water- the water of the cleansing spell It was always are destination On the express of the Ne'er Do Wells And we rock thru Madison City And we didn't even know she was there And when we hit the Buffers in Memphis And Beale street didn't have no prayer I hear punks talk of anarchy- I hear hobos on the railroad I hear mutterings on the chain-gangs It was those men who built the roads And if you put it all together You didn't even once relent You cast a Long Shadow And that is your testament Somewhere in my soul, there's always Rock and Roll. |
