Did you see the man chasing down the road
Looking for a job in a credibility role?
Screaming out what God has done for his land
A goal in his head and a knife in his hand
Conversation with the blues
In a long distance commissionary room
He came from a world where the feelings grow
About a reality that was never shown
Hatred in words for an evolving ring
Devilish laughs and revolving scenes
Different views from different lands
Bottled up opinions in violent strands
As he grew taller the book was lent
A life in isolation came and went
Conversation with the blues
In a long distance commissionary room
Conversation with the blues
In a long distance commissionary room
I know he means
Much more than what we see
But it's time to kill the dream
That all the world will agree
Made it to the end of the warning run
To a crowd of proud men and five perched guns
Down on his knees he pounded his knife
Like the almighty sword in the forgiving light
Spotlight on him like a star in his time
Dividing from us and kissing goodbye
He died in a suit and a Stetson hat
The world was asleep by the time he had
A conversation with the blues
In a long distance commissionary room
