Last call lyrics

Artist  : Patti smith 
Song : Last call
 

     by Patti Smith

In a mansion high the young man stood 
Ready to join his companions good 
Outside the scent of magnolia blossoms 
Down streets of gold the children were racing 

Just another wandering soul 
Adrift among the stars 
Just another human heart 
Led, led away 

He put his shoes on and he laid down 
Outside the clouds were swiftly gathering 
He drained his cup and his stirred the mixture 
And he closed his eyes as his conscience
whispered 

Just another wandering soul 
Adrift among the stars 
Just another human heart 
Led, led away 

Misgivings unspoken he joined his companions 
His face covered over in a mansion high 
Outside the children gazed in wonder 
At the quickening sky then slowly disbanded 

Thirty-nine wandering souls 
Adrift among the stars 
Thirty-nine human hearts 
Led, led away 

His burning skin cooled by angels 
Swallowing sorrows excretion 
It`s all excretion 
Felled by his hand of the mind of another man 
Who makes the decisions 
Lends no provisions for mere eternal rides 
Learning of course every alien force 

Even Christ yearns to be 
To possess the skin 
And bone the blood of man 
Who tends the flock who breaks the bread 
Who makes his own choices 
Won`t listen to voices 
Accept no false teachers 
False preachers, good deeders 
With their hands out stretched 
To be filled with your money 
Your mind, your heart, your imagination 
Sympathy, empathy 
Acknowledge all man as fellow creation 
But don`t follow him 
Don`t be led away
