Jerusalem, Attraction, and The Devil 07:16
lyrics

Jerusalem And did those feet in ancient time Walk upon England's mountains green? And was the holy Lamb of God On England's pleasant pastures seen? And did the countenance divine Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was Jerusalem builded here Among those dark Satanic Mills? Bring me my bow of burning gold! Bring me my arrows of desire! Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold! Bring me my chariot of fire! I will not cease from mental fight, Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand, Till we have built Jerusalem In England's green and pleasant Land. (We'll never forget.) Attraction Attraction is definitely the word for The reason the space between us Is shrinking like the moon Well on its way to new And I know you see it too I'll walk the thousands of miles To the picture in your mind There's always a reason to say I love you And always another day to see you Growing like the grass High above a city of people Who seldom get out and see it We do whatever we want We never see anyone The Devil I looked the devil in the eye Told him to leave and he replied: "How I wish I could, but I can't You see I wrote the poem on where you're from Painted a picture of where you're going But I taught you nothing along the way." Now it's a love/hate wherever I go It's a love/hate whoever I know Devil, are these just maddening times or have I just reached the maddening age Weight of the world's mighty hard to lift And there's a type of thinking that does you in But folks stay strong when they refuse to quit And most good folks can handle it Stormy weather on a sea of shit And wake up white as a wedding day But I'm on the outside looking in At you on the inside looking out Maybe we're wondering the same thing Is there a moment after all After the struggle's put to sleep for good After we find the side making it through After the star we wished on every night is gone After the devil leaves, leaving us all alone
