Jesus in the Temple - Marah[00:00:00]
You see all black & white [00:00:04]
Like it's all so simple[00:00:06]
You always seem to me [00:00:08]
Like Jesus in the temple[00:00:11]
Your reason for complete lack of[00:00:14]
Tact is the letter of a law[00:00:16]
No honest man can exact[00:00:21]
Lately I've been waiting for[00:00:24]
Something terrible to happen[00:00:26]
Like I'm full of dread[00:00:29]
Voices in my head from[00:00:30]
All over the whole wide world[00:00:32]
I fall asleep dreaming & wake up[00:00:34]
To the screaming out my window[00:00:37]
It's just a laughing little girl[00:00:41]
Two cops in a fight on a Saturday night[00:00:44]
On a New Year's Eve by the black & white[00:00:49]
Outside my front door [00:00:54]
Comin' through my walls[00:00:57]
From the street of fear in[00:00:59]
To the sacred halls of my home[00:01:01]
I can hear the sound so clear[00:01:05]
Of a strong black man callin'[00:01:09]
And end to the year[00:01:12]
I can't relax while watching snow[00:01:27]
Or the tree glow on the wrapping[00:01:30]
I feel the pull of my own wool[00:01:32]
Pulled over my eyes napping[00:01:35]
There's got to be a prayer left[00:01:37]
In my that can set my spirit free[00:01:40]
Some pride & joy left for me[00:01:44]
She's at work I'm all alone [00:01:47]
A holiday turned in to stone[00:01:49]
Just like Medusa I cut loose[00:01:52]
And let my snake locks curl[00:01:54]
Your are holier than thou [00:01:57]
But I know I'm the fattened cow laid out for dinner[00:01:58]
For God & His girl[00:02:04]
Two cops in a fight on a Saturday night[00:02:06]
On a New Year's Eve by the black & white[00:02:11]
Outside my front door [00:02:16]
Coming through my walls[00:02:19]
From the street of fear in[00:02:21]
To the sacred halls of my home[00:02:24]
I can hear the sound so clear[00:02:27]
Of a strong black man[00:02:31]
Calling an end to the year[00:02:33]
With angry shouts & sorrowful moans[00:02:36]
With his arms stretched[00:02:41]
Out to the rage of his tone[00:02:43]
When I stepped outside[00:02:46]
It just couldn't be denied[00:02:48]
An honest man will suffer[00:02:51]
Judgment from another who's lied[00:02:53]
I reached out in the cold[00:02:56]
To hold my hand[00:02:58]
And I felt the ghosts & shame[00:03:00]
From the land where I stand[00:03:03]
