Patti Smith - Last Call Lyrics
By patti smithIn a mansion high the young man stoodReady to join his companions goodOutside the scent of magnolia blossomsDown streets of gold the children were racingJust another wandering soulAdrift among the starsJust another human heartLed, led awayHe put his shoes on and he laid downOutside the clouds were swiftly gatheringHe drained his cup and his stirred the mixtureAnd he closed his eyes as his conscience whisperedJust another wandering soulAdrift among the starsJust another human heartLed, led awayMisgivings unspoken he joined his companionsHis face covered over in a mansion highOutside the children gazed in wonderAt the quickening sky then slowly disbandedThirty-nine wandering soulsAdrift among the starsThirty-nine human heartsLed, led awayHis burning skin cooled by angelsSwallowing sorrows excretionIts all excretionFelled by his hand of the mind of another manWho makes the decisionsLends no provisions for mere eternal ridesLearning of course every alien forceEven christ yearns to beTo possess the skinAnd bone the blood of manWho tends the flock who breaks the breadWho makes his own choicesWont listen to voicesAccept no false teachersFalse preachers, good deedersWith their hands out stretchedTo be filled with your moneyYour mind, your heart, your imaginationSympathy, empathyAcknowledge all man as fellow creationBut dont follow himDont be led away
