Where Do I Go
now here's a riddle through the ages - when I close my eyes where do I go say, i step into some deep, dark waters and while a marching band's givin' me the honors say, i just lay there silently and let the river take me where, oh, where where do i go
my only friend's a man name-a francis jones scuffs like a cat and looks like a crow he's a good man but don't I know you need time for something to grow and to be frank about frank - he's kinda slow see, every time we play Texas hold-em that sumbitch just keeps folding say, my friends, if I close my eyes where do i go, oh, where do i go
one time I saw a sign bout' four miles outta town said: 'work needed at the docks' when i got there, there were people everywhere, coming from all corners of the world one of them said, son, here's the thing you can go anywhere, be anything well, i looked to the east and i looked to the west and i thought to myself - where do I go?
i figured i'd see the doctor ask him a thing or two i said: 'doc, I have some troubles and some questions too, i been feeling kinda worried and i been feeling kinda sad' he said: 'describe your mind and i'll tell you', so i said it's like a subconscious hound just a-chewing on my bones well, he cleaned his shades and he said - my friend if you mean it like that Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com i just do not know
It was then i met a preacher said, man, i'm sure glad to meet ya say, maybe you can tell me where it is I go the fella took one sip and he took me on a trip where I met these folks had some sorta clue and while it did come with a certain ease i just can't spend all day on my knees so i walked outside and i hitched a ride somewhere i did not know
then I wandered in a brothel lemme tell you, they didnt sing no gospel but in a way I saw the lord if you must know I saw this lady standin' pretty and there was something she said to me that for a second i thought – now there was something i knew I spent the night crawling through their beds till i clawed my way to the light of day and i had many revelations about some folks and many nations but in the long haul I did not know
then I went back to my hometown there were many people standing around they said - how, oh, how how did it go I told them that truth is scattered and how I mended the above and i've nothing to say on the matter but if push comes to shove - the fear of death in which life throws us does not mean that death presupposes a clear idea of nothingness we can understand
they said: come again? I said - we all gonna die
