What will you do
when you can not get unbound
when things you've done
can no longer be undone
when what winds you up
won't come unwound
and the music you heard
turns into bad sound
when the hand of Christ falls
down to the ground
if his tired head leans forward
into a crumpling frown
would you believe it then
would you say then
that the time has come
and it's time to run
believing it's begun
the reclaiming of soil
the land that they toil
and oil that they sell
where they dwell
by the water, by the well
everyone eats and drinks
it has no colour or smell
in fact they will enjoy it
they never knew
they couldn't tell
who tends the garden
when no one is home
in life though you wander
in death do not roam
in death never leave home
From dust you came
to dust you shall return
when you are dead and gone
the land lays claim
earth reaches out gets even again
what once was is no more
inside your heart
and in the Crystal Palaces
far and near
the songs of the soul
filled with love and cheer
rang loud and clear
but now the song is sad
and is only sung here
I can't get no satisfaction
but the intention is loud and clear
I don't need useless information
I have my own imagination
when Christ the redeemer
comes toppling down
what happens then
what separates us from them
and from the heavens above
who will tend the sheep
free the dove
what was is no more
hundreds of years ago
when the earth was flat
perhaps then but not today
what was done won't go away
it's hard to believe
that no one knew
or knew but wouldn't say
it takes a big man to do the job
a bigger man to admit he did it
from kisses to handshakes
we've seen them all
it doesn't make a difference
round and round they go
in a circle see them fall
we won't be fooled no more
put your foot down
on the cellar floor
hard or soft
when you are touched
you are done for
it's too late to run for cover
there's no place to hide
in the morning or late at night
you can lock all the the doors
and windows
lock it all inside
it's too late to run for cover
there's no place to hide
in the city or the country
you can go and you can try
but I can tell you this
there's no reason why
you should even try
when things are not
the way they were
the day before for
what was is no more.
