Haile Selassie - Bright Eyes

Pilgrim across the water

We are the same brother

Hitchhiking back to Zion

Hold in our tears as we flip the album

What if this leads to ruin?

You got a soul, use it All this despair forgiven

Rolling away on a Wheel of Sevens

She sings like the Queen of Sheba

Voice through a blown speaker

One drop and bubbling Leslie

Calling me home like Haile Selassie

Pilgrim beside the fire

It’s been a long winter

We got a lot in common

Cover our heads as they split the atom

All of our days are numbered

I’ve taken some comfort

In knowing the wave has crested

Knowing I don’t have to be an exception

Children they fill the bleachers

One is the next Caesar

Keep all their minds collected

Until he comes, until he comes

Hide the Omega Day in plain sight

Too good to be true

I’ve seen stranger things

I’ve seen that tree of smoke

I’ve seen stranger things happen before

Pilgrim up on the mountain

Barefoot and still climbing

Filling the Book of Hours

Day after day in the filth and squalor

We are the chosen people

Safe from the next evil

One Love, magnetic memory

Reel after reel spinning within me I had the wildest dream last night

I was swimming with you

In that cenote the heavens made with black fire

Just woke up too soon

I’ve seen stranger things

I’ve seen those daytime ghosts

I’ve seen stranger things happen before

I’ve seen stranger things

I’ve seen that tree of smoke

I’ve seen stranger things happen before
