Patti Smith Group - Seven Ways of Going lyrics

I've got seven ways of going
Seven wheres to be seven sweet disguises
Seven ways of serving Thee
Lord, I do extol Thee for Thou hast lifted me
Woke me up and shook me out of mine iniquity
For I was undulating in
The lewd impostered night
Steeped in a dream to rend the seams
To redeem the rock of right

Swept through the seas of Galilee and
The Seven Hills of Rome
Seven sins were wrung from the sight of me
Lord, I turned my neck toward home
I opened up my arms to you and
We spun from life to life
Till you loosened me and let me
Go toward the everlasting light
In this big step I am taking
Seven seizures for the true
I got seven ways of going
Seven ways of serving you
As I move through seven levels as
I move upon the slate
As I declare to you the number
Of my moves as I speculate
The eighth seeking love without exception
A light upon the swarm
Seeking love without exception a
Saint in any form
