Solar Pilgrim

Walk right by me
I’ll be glad to have you in my life a while
There’s always room for one more

Eat! Drink!
Lay down with the beauties of this earthly world
I think that they want to lay down with you

In the morning
Getting stronger, getting richer by the day
That’s the way that it was meant to be

They won’t tell you
But there was once a time when we all lived that way
That was before the money came raining down on us

Now: my soul is a pilgrim
And my body is barely keeping up
And one day, it won’t keep up any more

And on that day
I’ll go sailing through the clouds (crowds)
Through the stars
On a Solar Highway to my god

But till then
I’m still healthy
Sitting in the morning sun
With no one around to sit down next to me

They all know it
They all know I’ve got that kind of soul and they run away
They all know that kind of soul won’t stay long

Oh my god, come take me
I just cannot wait another day
Oh my god! Come take me away!
