Bright Eyes - Haile Selassie lyrics

rate me

ilgrim across the water

We are the same brother

Hitchhiking back to Zion

Holding our tears as we flip the album

What if this leads to ruin?

You got a soul, use it

All this despair forgiven

Rolling away on the Wheel of Sevens

Sings like the Queen of Sheba

Voice through a Blonde Speaker

One dropping bubble and Leslie

Calling me home like Haile Selassie

Pilgrim beside the fire

It's been a long winter

We got a lot in common

Cover our heads as they split the atom

All of our days are numbered

I'll take in some comfort in knowing the wave has crested

Knowing I don't have to be an exception

Children they fill the bleachers

One is the next Caesar

Keep all their minds collected

Until he comes

Until he comes

How do you make a day in plain sight?

Too good to be true

I seen, I seen, I seen stranger things man

I seen, I seen that tree of smoke

Yeah

I seen, I seen, I seen, I seen stranger things happen

Happen before

Pilgrim up on the mountain

Barefoot and still climbin'

Filling the book of hours

Day after day in the filth and squalor

We are the chosen people

Safe from the next evil

One love!

Magnetic memory

Reel after reel

Spinning infinitely

I had the wildest dream last night

I was swimming with you in that cenote the Heavens made with black fire

Just woke up too soon

I seen, I seen, I seen stranger things man

I seen, I seen those daytime ghosts

Yeah

I seen, I seen, I seen

I seen stranger things happen

Happen before

I seen, I seen, I seen the strangest things man

I seen, I seen that tree of smoke

Yeah

I seen, I seen, I seen stranger things happen

Happen before
