Randy Stonehill Album: The Sky Is Falling Track: Through The Glass Darkly
Through The Glass Darkly Lyrics
I heard God was at the palace doing a one night stand So I went out there to see Him with my hope in my hand He was just a boy of fifteen without much to say And when he started signing autographs I walked away
I was standing on a corner by the marketplace When a fellow with some leaflets shoved one right in my face Well he poked me with his Bible like it was a loaded gun And I said whatever it is you're selling man I don't want none
All our superstars are suicidal casualties And our heroes die in motel rooms and motorcades Oh it seems like all our dreams are only fantasies And I wonder if we'll learn from the mistakes we've made
I bumped into Mr.. Jimi at a London hotel And he said let's get together but he didn't look well When I woke up in the morning all the papers read Jimi Hendrix overdosed last night in bed
All our superstars are suicidal casualties And our heroes die in motel rooms and motorcades Well it seems like all our dreams turn into tragedies And I wonder if we'll learn from the mistakes we've made
Now I'm waiting at the bus stop for the bus to arrive And I know there must be more to life than staying alive Well I don't know where I'm going when I climb in But it can't be any emptier than where I've been
