story behind the song: of midnight snacks and conversations
Lyrics
talking about heaven
talking about hell
talking about the seven
sins i know too well
maybe its time
maybe i should
maybe make up my mind
and try to be good
are you a preacher
are you a saint
are you so much better
than that something i ain't
hey now mister
where can i go?
hey now mister
can't you save my soul?
water to wine
and bread sticks too spent
tastes so sublime
fished out of respect
truly believing
in light of the times
one cheek past forgiving
what happened that night
aren't you a teacher
aren't you a saint
aren't you so much better
than that something i ain't
hey now mister
where can i go?
hey now mister
can't you save my soul?
casting out demons
calling on high
fasting on the reasons
that make angels cry
truly believing
on the wings of those sighs
all the comings and the leavings
and all those other goodbyes
we talked about heaven
we talked about hell
we talked about the seven
sins i know too well
he said its time
he said i should
he said to make up my mind
and try to be good
i said
weren't you a rabbi
weren't you a saint
weren't you a prophet sadly
something i ain't
hey now mister
how can i know?
hey now mister
can you save my soul?
are you so much better
than that something we ain't
hey now mister
won't you save us all?
