Jerusalem
You got your own way of speaking, I can't tell you've begun
But we have an expression where I'm coming from
And we keep on appealing, and the answer's still no
I've lost count of our prayers since a long time ago
By now we have wandered, gone a long way away
And I wanted to shear off limbs that may disobey
We're out here looking for variety
Jerusalem
But all the signs lead to the contrary
Jerusalem
I'm fixing to keep it clean, how low does it go?
Believed in your promises, not so long ago
A plenty of different clues, that point at the sky
I look at evasive views, with no shore nearby
My view is obstructed, paint me sights that you've seen
Paint me something amazing in silver and green
We're out here looking for variety
Jerusalem
But all the signs lead to the contrary
Jerusalem
I'm slumping this order, My feet feel the frost
I trust that it ends here, this system's exhaust
I am reaching for something, fill my cup yet again
Fill it up from that fountain, that's been rinsed by the rain
A preserver of secrets, keeping them to yourself
And keeping disclosure, hidden high on a shelf
Defending the doorstep, into the lost and found
And it looks like you're shouting, but I'm hearing no sound
We're out here looking for variety
Jerusalem
But all the signs lead to the contrary
Jerusalem
