Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros - Get Down Moses lyrics

Your rating:

Prairie full of lost souls running from the priests of iniquity

Where the hell was Elijah?

What do you do when the prophecy game was through?



We gotta take the walls of Jericho

Put your lips together and blow

To the very top

They say the truth crystallizes like jewels in the rock, in the rock



Get Down Moses  part another sea

Carve another tablet out of L.S.D.

Get Down Moses  out in Tennessee

Get Down Moses  down in the street

The blood is washing down all the gravel to our feet

Get Down Moses  down in the pit



Lying in a dream, cross battle field,

Crashing on a downtown strip,

Looking in the eyes of the diamonds and the spies and the hip

Who's sponsoring the crack ghetto?

Who's lecturing? Who's in the know and in the don't know?



You better take the walls of Jericho

Put your lips together and blow

Goin' to the very top

Where the truth crystallizes like jewels, in the rock, in the rock



Get Down Moses  from the eagle's aerie

We gotta to make new friends out of old enemies

Get Down Moses  back in Tennessee

Get Down Moses  down with the dreads

They got a lotta reasoning in a dreadhead

Get Down Moses  down in the street

Get Down Moses



Get Down Moses  part another sea

Carve another tablet out of L.S.D.

Get Down Moses  out in Tennessee

Get Down Moses  down in the street

The blood is washing down all the gravel to our feet

Get Down Moses  down in the pit

Get Down Moses



Get Down Moses



Get Down Moses

We need to eat, we gotta chew it over with our wisdom teeth

Get Down Moses
