Stranger in a strange land Strange to have no better plan Iggy pops up in Berlin At a weimar vending machine
Press s.a.n.d for sandwich Out pops a pre-packed bagof sand Ten thousand grains in a kleine packet He can hide it in his hand
As god in the act of creation Flings out a galaxy of stars As they slip through his fingers Show him the way to the next whiskey bar Street lights bleaching out the sky
Burn up all the space he needs Street lights bleaching out the sky Never thought much about boredom Wasn’t something that bothered me The hunt for work the search for grace This oppressive variety
Street lights bleaching out the sky Burn up all the space he needs Street lights bleaching out the sky No box no suitcase to hide it Need twenty acres to set it free No ceremony in detroit Change its name to entropy
Sisters and brothers I regret to inform The veil is torn the priest has gone But the moon is hidden The God red eye of a shit brown dog Lying all wounded alone in the vastness The priest is gone, the priest is gone I stumbled and fell and scrambled around Terrible struggles twix and flimsy gauze Excuses twinges and heartaches Await sutside the sun bakes I wait But the Priest is gone, But the Priest is gone A survival manual a blind man Feeling the face of a darling child Ah! He is gone back to beyond Mankind snivels, footprints stretch Across tattered meadows bloom round in circles of sex a snakes eye blinksstaggers and dims
a bubbling cauldron of sad lonely beans a dirty vest the priest is gone now
