I wrestled with the great lion I grabbed hold of his blond main
im so far east of eden and on this potters train
ive been howling at the moon with these scoundrels and theives
watching the gold sun rise from a drunken beach
you know these drunks and whores are as holy as the church
everything is sacred from these bars to this earth
the words on your tongue ,from your parched holy lips
the cigarettes smoke and the gun on your hip
we'll madly shake the cages till the blind men see
we'll wait for the sage to drop us a key
from the moon where he lives with golden ideas
of freedom for the all these friends of mine who live here
the beautiful,rowdy, prisioners of war
the beautiful ones who were stoned, they called them whores
we got men on crutches and women with the shakes
brown paper bags with bottles and pills like snakes
we wake to the mountain where fog lays low
its always monsoon season when we're on the road
its bruises on your knees and booze on your breath
whos to say when evil falls from the west
is not to the swift , nor is it to the strong
one minute shes with you and the next minute shes gone
it beats inside your chest, its the thunder red
the holy wind in your sails , until you drop dead
where are stand , when you stand, or if you stand at all
where the smallest man in the world can become10 feet tall
I wrestled with the great lion I grabbed hold of his blond main
im so far east of eden and ive been seaching for cain
ive been howling at the moon with these scoundrels and theives
watching the gold sun rise from a drunken beach
