Lyrics:

Today, Theres No Salvation, The Bands Packed Up And Gone
left Me Standing With My Penny In My Hand
theres A Big Crowd At The Station Where The Blind Man Sings His Song
but He Can See What They Cant Understand.

(Chorus)
its The Thirty-Third Of August And Im Finlly Touching Down
eight Days From Sunday Finds Me Saturday Bound.

once I Stumbled Through The Darkness, Tumbled To My Knees
a Thousand Voices Screamin In My Brain
woke Up In A Squad Car, Busted Down For Vagrancy
outside My Cell As Sure As Hell, It Looked Like Rain.

but Now Ive Got My Dangerous Feelings Under Lock And Chain
guess I Killed My Violent Nature With A Smile
though The Demons Danced And Sang Their Song Within My Fevered Brain
not All My God-Like Thoughts, Lord, Were Defiled.
