Amen lyrics

Artist  : Paula Cole 
Song : Amen



 Send "Amen" Ringtone to your Cell 

 

I'm siphoning gass from the high school
bus
Into the tank of my beat-up bug
So I
can drive away from the shouting and misery
I
drive into the night, to the hill, to the water
tower
To lie on my back and drink in the
meteor shower
Knowing that many men have lain
as i do now
Ptolemy,Copernicus,Carl
Jung
Pondering his existence,pondering,
Is
God with me now?

And I look to the
sky
And I ask these questions
Yes,I feel
something I don't understand
Can somebody say
Amen?

My life is but a short and precious
seed
Like three seasons of life in a leaf on a
tree
And when I cascade to the ground I will
not be done
I will mingle with the earth and
give life
To the roots again

Can
somebody say Amen?

And I look to the
sky
And I ask these questions
Yes, I feel
something I don't understand
Can somebody say
Amen?
Amen for the drivers in their garbage
trucks
Amen for our mothers,for the lust to
fuck
Amen for the child with innocent
eyes
Amen for Kevorkian and the right to
die
Amen for NASA,The NSA
It's all a front
anyway
Amen for Marilyn Manson,Saddam
Hussein
Amen for America and the Milky
Way.
Amen for Elvis,for Betty Page
Amen for
Gloria Steinham and Ronald Reagan
Amen for
O.J.,Clinton too
Amen for the Republican witch
hunt coup
Amen for Gandhi,for Malcolm X
Amen
for the uprising of the weaker sex
Amen for
Babylon, the third world's call,
Amen for the
unity of us all
Amen,Amen,Amen

And I am
not unique.
We are all leave on this great big
tree.
this tree that is life,that is God,that
is you,that is me
And I lie under my tree like
the Buddhas before and after me
And I ask the
stars, "What for?"
Yes, I feel something I
can't explain
A light that flickers off and on
again
And I look to the sky
And I ask these
questions
Yes, I feel something I don't
understand
Oh,can somebody say Amen?
