Common Rider - Midnight Passenger Lyrics
i stepped out on a celluloid nightthat flickered on a black and white reellooking for something that i could not explaini could only feelthese were the songs upheld by the shadesthat spoke to me as i left townisraelites, the harder they come, 56-47i hear them nowand the words of the prophets never soundedas good as the echo of a hard one dropto be forever enslaved by the sound the creator made --don't let it stopcome again, midnight passengerthere to accompany downto the end of the souls lost avenuefeel it nowi kept walking in the dust all nightlooking for a diamond in the crushhalfway under in bars like a ship that was going down -- or coming upit was not the sun that stung,but the feel of loss and the voice of suffering and fatetill i just stopped listening to the chatter of all those yesterdays -- crime payswe will show up with all our secret problemsand if we can't find landthere's a tone written into soul songs that understandswe will be free
