Jerusalem Tomorrow

Man you should have seen me way back then
 I could tell a tale, I could make it spin
 I could tell you black was white
 I could tell you day was night
 Not only that I could tell you why
 Back then I could really tell a lie
 Well, I'd hire a kid to say that he was lame
 Then I'd touch him and I'd make him walk again
 Then I'd pull some magic trick
 I'd pretend to heal the sick
 I was takin' everything they had to give
 It wasn't all that bad a way to live
 Well, I'm in this desert town and it's hot as hell
 But no one's buyin' what I got to sell
 I make my lame kid walk
 I make a dumb guy talk
 I'm preachin' up a storm both night and day
 But everyone just turns and walks away
 Well, I can see that I'm only wasting time
 So I head across the road to drink some wine
 This old man comes up to me
 He says, "I'd seen you on the street
 You're pretty good if I do say so myself
 But the guy comin' through last month
 He was somethin' else"
 Instead of callin' out for fire from above
 He just gets real quiet and talks about love
 And I'll tell you somethin' funny
 He didn't want nobody's money
 Now I'm not exactly sure
 What this all means
 But it's the damnest thing I swear I've ever seen
 ♪
 Well, since that time every town is the same
 I can't make a dime, I don't know why I came
 I decide I'll go and find him
 And find out who's behind him
 He has everyone convinced that he's for real
 Well, I figure we can work us out a deal
 So he offers me a job and I say fine
 He says I'll get paid off on down the line
 Well, I guess I'll string along
 Don't see how too much can go wrong
 As long as he pays my way I guess I'll follow
 We're headed for Jerusalem tomorrow
