HOLY JOE

confrontation with holy joe
it was written oh so long ago
the ids will only listen
if the hero takes the thief alone
i built the garden of eden
while i was sitting on the telephone
they'll give you millions to stay, my friend
if you're right here, right here, right here along

sinister like a holy joe
in the background of the coming war
we got the yearning to strike him down
but he keeps on beating down the door
i burned the garden of eden
but i forgot just what i did it for
i'd give ya millions to leave, my love
and beat the devil, down his knees on the floor

confirmation, this holy joe
has gone as far as he could go
beyond the ledge is the questions
that no one should ever seek to know
i thought the garden of eden
was a metaphor, a dynamo
i'd give just one for a moment
when i won't have to hear it anymore

-8/2/17 (based on a sketch from fall 2000)
