False Prophet

Another day that don't end
 Another ship goin' out
 Another day of anger, bitterness, and doubt
 
 I know how it happened
 I saw it begin
 I opened my heart to the world and the world came in
 ♪
 Hello Mary Lou
 Hello Miss Pearl
 My fleet-footed guides from the underworld
 No stars in the sky shine brighter than you
 You girls mean business, and I do too
 ♪
 Well I'm the enemy of treason
 Enemy of strife
 I'm the enemy of the unlived meaningless life
 I ain't no false prophet
 I just know what I know
 I go where only the lonely can go
 I'm first among equals
 Second to none
 The last of the best
 You can bury the rest
 Bury 'em naked with their silver and gold
 Put them six feet under and I pray for their souls
 ♪
 What are you lookin' at?
 There's nothing to see
 Just a cool breeze that's encircling me
 Let's go for a walk in the garden
 So far and so wide
 We can sit in the shade by the fountain-side
 ♪
 I've search the world over
 For the Holy Grail
 I sing songs of love
 I sing songs of betrayal
 Don't care what I drink
 I don't care what I eat
 I climbed the mountain of swords on my bare feet
 You don't know me, darlin'
 You never would guess
 I'm nothing like my ghostly appearance would suggest
 I ain't no false prophet
 I just said what I said
 I'm just here to bring vengeance on somebody's head
 Put out your hand
 There's nothing to hold
 Open your mouth
 I'll stuff it with gold
 Oh, you poor devil, look up if you will
 The city of God is there on the hill
 ♪
 Hello stranger
 A long goodbye
 You ruled the land
 But so do I
 You lost your mule
 You got a poison brain
 I'll marry you to a ball and chain
 You know darlin'
 The kind of life that I live
 When your smile meets my smile
 A something's got to give
 I ain't no false prophet
 No, I'm nobody's bride
 Can't remember, when I was born
 And I forgot when I died
