Joe Strummer The Mescaleros Get Down Moses Lyrics

Get Down Moses Lyrics

Once I got to the mountain top, everywhere I could see,



Prairie full of lost souls running from the priests of iniquity



Where the hell was Elijah



What do you do when the prophecy came was true







You cannot take the walls of Jericho



Put your lips together and blow



To the very top



Sayin' the truth crystallizes it like jewels in the rock, in the rock







Get Down Moses - part another sea



Carve another tablet out of L.S.D.



Get Down Moses - out in Tennessee



Get Down Moses - down in the street



The blood washing down all the gravel to our feet



Get Down Moses - down in the pit







Lying in a green, cross bound field,



Crashing on a downtown strip,



Looking in the eyes of the diamonds and the spies and the hip



Who's sponsoring the crack ghetto



Who's lecturing who's in the know and in the don't know







You better take the walls of Jericho



Put your lips together and blow



Goin' to the very top



Where the truth crystallizes like jewels, in the rock, in the rock







Get Down Moses - from the eagle eyrie



You gotta to make new friends out of old enemies



Get Down Moses - back in Tennessee



Get Down Moses - down with the dreads



They got a lotta reasoning in a dreadhead



Get Down Moses - down in the street



Get Down Moses







Get Down Moses - part another sea



Carve another tablet out of L.S.D.



Get Down Moses - out in Tennessee



Get Down Moses - down in the street



The blood washing down all the gravel to our feet



Get Down Moses - down in the pit



Get Down Moses







Get Down Moses







Get Down Moses



We need to eat, we gotta chew it over with our wisdom teeth.
