At the Fiftieth Gate
guitar chords lyrics
Hanging around, it seems I'm late Arrived on time, but I've not been paid Heaven was opening doors, they were cleaning the floors But I had to wait... Sitting up late, and talking no sense We all fall down when there's blood on our scent Sit on the fence, and think of the date We try very hard to name the place "I was talking to Manfred, he said you can fly, Why go touch down, when you can reach out and touch the sky" I'm getting closer to you - my fiftieth gate But still I had to wait - at the fiftieth gate Taking my time, and making my mindup is better than falling behind Painting out signs, and what do you find You've still got the caller on the end of the line "I was talking to Leon, he said you can never hide, Why die for nothing, when you can die for your pride" I'm getting closer to you - my fiftieth gate But still I had to wait - at the fiftieth gate I entered a field, and everyone kneeled I was given a photograph It was no big deal, it was Jesus in heels, I heard somebody laugh... Building a house, and painting it white We're all wired up and ready to fight Can't stand the heat then get out of the light Cooling it down with whiskey and ice "I was talking to Abraham, I said - you look a lot like God! He said, maybe I am - don't believe that man!" Take time, be kind, Don't believe your mother but believe in your mind Take time, be kind Still I had to wait at the fiftieth gate Real fun, my son The day you can open it's the day that I've won Real fun, my son Still I had to wait at the fiftieth gate...
