Spirogyra - Cogwheels Crutches and Cyanide lyrics

Holy John Give me food Tonight I am so hungry Tonight my eyes are searching for a way Holy John Give me shelter Tonight I am so weary Tonight my eyes are open wide Well the first man was a juggler And his sk** was very great But he said that he was leaving He said he couldn't wait And the second came with j**els That flickered on his hand As he spoke about tomorrow As if it were another land But a lady caught between them Said she should be free And they just looked bewildered And said "Yes, so should we" "How on Earth," yelled the author, "Does the tale make its sense? It's alive with a truth, But we must have a proof, How can we open the door?" Well the next man had religion It made him very proud He said he'd found his inner bliss He said it very loud But a group of men surpa**ed him With science, sk**s, and speed They hurled down his conceptions And dug up all his weeds The lady, she was worried She asked if this was wise "Of course it is, It's logic, brains and enterprise!" "How on Earth," yelled the author, "Does the tale make its sense? It's alive with a truth, But we must have a proof, How can we open the door?" Well the last man had no number And didn't say a word He didn't even answer them When they said he was absurd They made him sign a treaty To give up all he owned And searched his pockets anxiously To see if he had gold The lady was enchanted And said they ought to see So they charged her with subversion And made her watch T.V. I'm a man with no future With no past and no time And I live for their war Lord I live for their war I won't be back no more We are fighting a losing battle No one is winning No one's beginning We are looking for something that's missing Dark all around us Darkness surrounding We are on the doorway of knowledge Have we the wisdom Have we the wisdom
