Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros - Get Down Moses lyrics

rate me

Once I got to the mountain top, tell you what I could see,

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

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 washing down all the gravel to our feet

Get Down Moses - down in the pit

Lying in a dream, cross a 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 aerie

You 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 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
