lyrics

Palm Sunday

Now telephone wires are dancing,
dancing, dancing, just like we did until late last night.
Rolling on a gravity wave,
rolling like big water, rolling like a surfin' guitar.
No, we didn't get to church this morning.
It was too hot and humid for coffee or bacon.
We just laid in bed listening to the radio,
static crackled while we made love,
sweat trickled then it fell like tears.
Across the fields out to the west,
that anvil chorus was singing,
hammers and howitzers screaming
into the dreams we were dreaming.
I heard the big iron gates to that dark other world,
they were opening.
On Palm Sunday.
Well, this is how they said passion would start,
but it doesn't feel quite how I expected.
I'm caught in a tempest tearing at my heart,
it's pulling me, it's twisting you, but we're connected.
Well, the preacher said that he was coming,
and the radio bulletin sounded the warning,
and though years have passed,
sometimes it seems like I'm still running from
the statistical face of fate I met after that morning.
Down the streets, knee deep in mud he comes riding.
Astride a stolen white horse with garlands of willows under his feet.
Do you think we have time to run,
or should there be a 'hohsanna' sung,
is there a prayer for folks like us today?
On Palm Sunday
[we are here...we are gone]
