The Walk to the God House

The walk to the god house seems to take forever
People seldom go that way, the path is like a cemetery
Groups tend to string out over miles
'Cause the people want to just be left alone

And the walk to the god house
Often ends in disappointment
'Cause the gods there don't move anymore

They sit on the same damp stones
In the same damp glass cages
Just like they sat there a hundred years before

The walk to the god house seems to take forever
People seldom go that way, the path is like a cemetery
Groups tend to string out over miles
'Cause the people want to just be left alone

And the walk to the god house often ends in a picnic
The people try to break that god house spell
'Cause it always leaves them empty
And it always leaves them hungry
And it always leaves them feeling unwell

The walk to the god house seems to take forever
People seldom go that way, the path is like a cemetery
Groups tend to string out over miles

'Cause the people want to just be left alone
'Cause the people want to just be left alone
'Cause the people want to just be left alone
'Cause the people want to just be left alone
