Lyrics

Pilgrim across the water We are the same brother Hitch-hiking back to Zion Hold in our tears as we flip the album What if this leads to ruin? You got a soul, use it All this despair forgiven Rolling away on a Wheel of Sevens She sings like the Queen of Sheba Voice through a blown speaker One drop and bubbling Leslie Calling me home like Haile Selassie Pilgrim beside the fire It's been a long winter We got a lot in common Cover our heads as they split the atom All of our days are numbered I've taken some comfort In knowing the wave has crested Knowing I don't have to be an exception Children they fill the bleachers One is the next Caesar Keep all their minds collected Until he comes, until he comes Hide the Omega day in plain sight Too good to be true I've seen, I've seen, I've seen stranger things, man I've seen, I've seen, that tree of smoke, yeah I've seen, I've seen, I've seen stranger things happen, happen before Pilgrim up on the mountain Barefoot and still climbing Filling the book of hours Day after day in the filth and squalor We are the chosen people Safe from the next evil One Love, magnetic memory Reel after reel spinning within me I had the wildest dream last night I was swimming with you In that cenote, the heavens made with black fire Just woke up too soon I've seen, I've seen, I've seen stranger things I've seen, I've seen, those daytime ghosts I've seen, I've seen, I've seen stranger things happen, happen before I've seen, I've seen, I've seen stranger things I've seen, I've seen that tree of smoke I've seen, I've seen, I've seen stranger things happen, happen before
