Oasis - Mucky Fingers Lyrics lyrics

by Patti Smith

In a mansion high the young man stood

Ready to join his companions good

Outside the scent of magnolia blossoms

Down streets of gold the children were racing

Just another wandering soul

Adrift among the stars

Just another human heart

Led, led away

He put his shoes on and he laid down

Outside the clouds were swiftly gathering

He drained his cup and his stirred the mixture

And he closed his eyes as his conscience whispered

Just another wandering soul

Adrift among the stars

Just another human heart

Led, led away

Misgivings unspoken he joined his companions

His face covered over in a mansion high

Outside the children gazed in wonder

At the quickening sky then slowly disbanded

Thirty-nine wandering souls

Adrift among the stars

Thirty-nine human hearts

Led, led away

His burning skin cooled by angels

Swallowing sorrows excretion

It's all excretion

Felled by his hand of the mind of another man

Who makes the decisions

Lends no provisions for mere eternal rides

Learning of course every alien force

Even Christ yearns to be

To possess the skin

And bone the blood of man

Who tends the flock who breaks the bread

Who makes his own choices

Won't listen to voices

Accept no false teachers

False preachers, good deeders

With their hands out stretched

To be filled with your money

Your mind, your heart, your imagination

Sympathy, empathy

Acknowledge all man as fellow creation

But don't follow him

Don't be led away
