One Mourning (For Marvin Gaye)

[Verse]
One morning, you may wake up to find
Yourself on the frontline
Of artillery fire
One morning, you may wake to discover
That indigenous tribe
Have turned angry mob
And that the father forgotten
Shot the son begotten
And our daily breads now our daily ration

[Refrain]
And the look of love
Will turn flesh to stone
And the look of love
Will turn flesh to stone
That's when the look of love
Will turn flesh to stone
That's when the look of love
Will turn flesh to stone

[Verse]
One morning, you may wake up to find
That the public's indiffеrent
And justice is blind
When cool rеason is cold-blooded murder
And hard fact the hyperthermic kiss
Swift logic gelignite compassion, yeah
And statistic a sadistic flat, oh
One morning, oh, you may wake to discover
That the time you've been fearing is already here

[Refrain]
And the look of love
Will turn flesh to stone
And the look of love
Will turn flesh to stone
That's when the look of love
Will turn flesh to stone
That's when the look of love
Will turn flesh, oh, to stone

[Verse]
When the gold junkies armed to the diamond back teeth
When the idiot prince buys carcinogen rainbows
When the lovers sonate turns cool brush of the knuckle
When saliva soaked fingers
Smudge booby trapped bible
One morning, you may wake up to find
Yourself on the frontline, yeah
On the wire, oh
I used to get dirty after dark
But now I'm bathing in the light
I used to get dirty after dark
But now I'm bathing in the light
The light of one mourning
Mourning
Mourning
