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 hoo...I 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
