Matthew and Master and Margarita
***Matthew and Master and Margarita***
: : : : : : : :
Out on a quick run, lookin' for somethin'
--My previous glory, shinin' in the Sun
Everything's new and familiar, too, and
Everything's easy with so much Love
- - - - - - -
And the Master is holding a manuscript
Feeling the fire of burning bridges
While the fat cat, he laughs! --so fat he disappears!
And the people stare just wishing he was still a little boy
Oh, wishing he was still just a little boy
And the devil's in the city, drivin' everybody crazy
And the devil's in the country, killing all the priests
And the devil's in my heart when I'm asking you to leave
--or asking you stay -- oh isn't it the same?
oh isn't it the same?
- - - - - - -
What have you seen lately? What are you hoping to take with you?
-to another time- Who's your new disguise?
"Be yourself" is a lonely word -- it's better being us
Still you've got to be someone -- and be you enough
- - - - - - -
Jesus -- are you still hanging on a cross,
before humanity and God?
Mohammad -- are you still working on your book,
in golden tablets from above?
Siddhartha -- are you still sitting beneath the tree,
waiting for something to fall, anything, like the apple to Isaac?
And Matthew -- are you still living in the world,
seeking solace or salvation from the songs you sing
to all the boys and girls ... before humanity and God ... ?
before humanity and God ...
before humanity and God ...
before humanity and God ...
Some say it's all just make believe
Some say it's make believe
But it's making me believe
Oh, it's all making me believe, before humanity and God
before humanity and God ...
- - - - - - -
You got your work now -- you know what to do
Somebody likes you -- you can show them how
Out on a long walk -- somethin' we're seekin'
A timeless story -- an endless clock
... before humanity and God
... before humanity and God
