Paula Cole - Amen Lyrics
Im siphoning gass from the high school busInto the tank of my beat-up bugSo I can drive away from the shouting and miseryI drive into the night, to the hill, to the water towerTo lie on my back and drink in the meteor showerKnowing that many men have lain as I do nowPtolemy,copernicus,carl jungPondering his existence,pondering,Is God with me now?And I look to the skyAnd I ask these questionsYes,i feel something I dont understandCan somebody say amen?My life is but a short and precious seedLike three seasons of life in a leaf on a treeAnd when I cascade to the ground I will not be doneI will mingle with the earth and give lifeTo the roots againCan somebody say amen?And I look to the skyAnd I ask these questionsYes, I feel something I dont understandCan somebody say amen?Amen for the drivers in their garbage trucksAmen for our mothers,for the lust to *****Amen for the child with innocent eyesAmen for kevorkian and the right to dieAmen for nasa,the nsaIts all a front anywayAmen for marilyn manson,saddam husseinAmen for america and the milky way.Amen for elvis,for betty pageAmen for gloria steinham and ronald reaganAmen for o.j.,clinton tooAmen for the republican witch hunt coupAmen for gandhi,for malcolm xAmen for the uprising of the weaker sexAmen for babylon, the third worlds call,Amen for the unity of us allAmen,amen,amenAnd 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 meAnd I lie under my tree like the buddhas before and after meAnd I ask the stars, what for?Yes, I feel something I cant explainA light that flickers off and on againAnd I look to the skyAnd I ask these questionsYes, I feel something I dont understandOh,can somebody say amen?
