Walkin' Like A Drownin' Man

(album: Beat Club - 1998)

Went down to the river
To wash my face and hands
I crawled out from the ocean
To kneel upon the sand
They made me walk on water
Then they sank the Promised Land
Yes, I'm all the way from Babylon
Walking like a drowning man

I looked out at the city
From high upon the hill
Babylon was burning
There was nothing left to kill
They robbed me in the alley
Then they gambled for my bones
Yes I'm all the way from Babylon
How come you never telephone?

Well, I'm standing at your front door
While you were crawling out your window
I'm stumbling in my footsteps
Punching in my shadows
But if you want me dead and buried
You're gonna have to catch me down the road

You can take the world by strategy
Take the world by storm
For a pocket full of silver
You can buy it stone by stone
I saw you on the TV
Wearing nothing but a hat
You know anywhere in Babylon
I can see somebody doing that
