Dime Store Prophets - Soothsayer Speaks lyrics

Soothsayer leans up against a wall outside the Temple doors He's got deep blue eyes and a grin from horn to horn Greasy hair Salesman smile Burnt orange suit White patent-leather shoes circa 1974 Well, he looks over his shoulder at the desperate ones And he badgers them before they reach the door Well, he says, "Say there, s**er Could something so big, so good Be as easy as just opening the door? Kneel down to the system Hail religious grind Now jump like a circus dog through my hoops of fire" You won't find a back door to heaven Soothsayer lights up a holy smoke Exhales real big Stings my eyes And he said, "I can make you work hard for nothing Strive in the dirt and even spook you with the Holy Ghost I can make you walk around the block twice just when you wanna go home Make you jump like a circus dog through my hoops of fire" It was never meant this way I see open gates all the way It's all right now It's okay My love, my love, you will wait It's all right now It's okay I'm coming home today
