Haile Selassie Lyrics - The People's Key - Bright Eyes

Pilgrim across the water 

We are the same, brother 

Hitchhiking back to Zion 

Holding our tears as we flip the album 

What if this leads to ruin? 

You got a soul, use it 

All this despair forgiven 

Rolling away on a wheel of sevens 

Seems like the Queen of Sheba 

Voice through a blown speaker 

One drop and bubbling Leslie 

Calling me home like Haile Selassie 

Pilgrim beside the fire 

Its been a long winter 

We got a lot in common 

Cover our heads as they split the atom 

All of our days are numbered 

I take in some comfort in knowing the wave has crested 

Knowing I don't have to be an exception 

Children they fill the bleachers 

One is the next Caesar 

Keep all their minds collected 

Until it comes 

Until it comes 

Hide the Omega day 

In plain sight 

Too good to be true 

I've seen, I've seen, I've seen stranger things, man 

I've seen, I've seen that tree of smoke 

I've seen, I've seen, I've seen stranger things happen 

Happen before 

Pilgrim upon the mountain 

Bare foot and still climbing 

Filling the book of hours 

Day after day in the filth and squalor 

We are the chosen people 

Safe from the next evil 

One Love! Magnetic memory 

Reel after reel, spinning within me 

I had the wildest dream last night 

I was swimming with you in that Cenote the Heavens made with black fire 

Just woke up too soon 

I've seen, I've seen, I've seen stranger things, man 

I've seen, I've seen that tree of smoke 

I've seen, I've seen, I've seen stranger things happen 

Happen before 

I've seen, I've seen, I've seen stranger things, man 

I've seen, I've seen that tree of smoke 

I've seen, I've seen, I've seen stranger things happen 

Happen before
