Rickie Lee Jones - I Was There lyrics
[Rickie Lee Jones - I Was There lyrics]
Take my advice
It doesn't get easier watching the golden
Orbs floating out of the bars
And into space there's Frank Sinatra
On the Juke box
Pause in the ketchup your face in
The reflection in the mirror
He walked through the rocks, you know
He walked through the scorpion dust
He walks on the beach and now he walks
And he keeps walking 'til he's out of reach
Every generation watches the princes
Of their nation
File away until the Son of Man every
Every Madonna means so little to the next one
We ran together down the Santa
Monica Boulevard oh baby
You look so hard, so fine
And my second hand capella all that night I
Said Oo hooi said Oo hoo oo hoo
There you are in your write dress shirt most
Of all I think I loved your hands
I loved them so much that it hurt
And all the bartenders knew your name
And all the pimps knew your car
And we lay by the Nazz
And we were blessed yes, we are
You tell them I was there hey I
Was there man I was there
When Jesus walked I was
There when Jesus walked
Now I don't know what happened
What happened was Babylon and
That little Sheba
With her siren song and the planets swirling
Where no one's ugly and everyone's square
No one's ugly and everyone's square
There's no such place I heard such
Peach when he played those traps
I heard such peace when He
Looked out at the map
And it ran through me and echoed into
Another time and space and place
And it ran through me way on back
In time way on up is fine
Way one back in time was on up
Is fine way on back in time
Take my advice and go throw
It away it's gonna
Do you no good until you blow for good
Cause you are there man you
Are there don't you know
You are there where Jesus
Walked, every generation
Yeah the princes of their nation
Well, I'm ugly, too no, no
You're not beautiful, no, you're ugly too
Cause you've been travelling in so many
Universes and you manifest here
It's difficult to see who you are
Brother I didn't realize that you
Were talking to me until
You broke that bread and I saw that you were
Where have you been that you don't know
What's been going on here in Jerusalem
Haven't you heard, haven't you
Heard about the Nazarene, you know
We thought we were gonna set Israel free
It doesn't get easier watching the golden
Orbs floating out of the bars
And into space there's Frank Sinatra
On the Juke box
Pause in the ketchup your face in
The reflection in the mirror
He walked through the rocks, you know
He walked through the scorpion dust
He walks on the beach and now he walks
And he keeps walking 'til he's out of reach
Every generation watches the princes
Of their nation
File away until the Son of Man every
