Cogwheels Crutches And Cyanide Lyrics

Holy John

Give me food

Tonight I am so hungry

Tonight my eyes are searching

For a way

Holy John

Give me shelter

Tonight I am so weary

Tonight my eyes are open wide

Well the first man was a juggler

And his skill was very great

But he said that he was leaving

He said he couldn’t wait

And the second came with jewels

That flickered on his hand

As he spoke about tomorrow

As if it were another land

But a lady caught between them

Said she should be free

But they just looked bewildered

And said yes, so should we

How on earth, yelled the author

Does the tale makes it’s sense

It’s alive with the truth,

But we must have the proof

How can we open the door

Well the next man had religion

It made him very proud

He said he’d found his inner bliss

He said it very loud

But a group of men surpassed him

With science skills and speed

They hurled down his conceptions

And dug up all his weeds

The lady she looked worried

She asked if this was wise

“Of course it is it’s logic

Brains and enterprise

How on earth, yelled the author

Does the tale makes it’s sense

It’s alive with the truth, But we must have the proof

How can we open the door

Well the last man had no number

And didn’t say a word

He didn’t even answer them

When they said he was absurd

They made him sign a treaty

To give up all he owned

And searched his pockets anxiously

To see if he had gold

The lady was enchanted

And said they ought to see

So they charged her with subversion

And made her watch TV

I’m a man with no future

With no past and no time

And I live for the war

Lord I live for the war

I won’t be back no more

We are fighting a losing battle

No-one is winning

No-one’s beginning

We are looking for something that’s missing

Dark all around us

Darkness surrounding

We are on the doorway of knowledge

Have we the wisdom?

Have we the wisdom?

We are fighting a losing battle

No-one is winning

No-one’s beginning

Come over the hill little mama

And let me see you smile

You are the one for me

You are the one for me

Come out of the sky little angel

And let me see you be

You are the one for me

You are the one for me
