Amen (Explicit)

Amen (Album Version) - Paula Cole

I'm siphoning gass from the high school bus

Into the tank of my beat-up bug

So I can drive away from the shouting and misery

I drive into the night to the hill to the water tower

To lie on my back and drink in the meteor shower

Knowing that many men have lain as I do now

Ptolemy Copernicus Carl Jung Pondering his existence

Pondering Is God with me now

And I look to the sky And I ask these questions

Yes I feel something I don't understand

Can somebody say Amen

Can somebody say Amen

My life is but a short and precious seed

Like three seasons of life in a leaf on a tree

And when I cascade to the ground I will not be done

I will mingle with the earth and give life

To the roots again

Can somebody say Amen

And I look to the sky And I ask these questions

Yes I feel something I don't understand

Can somebody say Amen

Can somebody say Amen

Can somebody say Amen

Amen for the drivers in their garbage trucks

Amen for our mothers for the lust to f**k

Amen for the child with innocent eyes

Amen for Kevorkian and the right to die

Amen for NASA The NSA It's all a front anyway

Amen for Marilyn Manson Saddam Hussein

Amen for America and the Milky Way

Amen for Elvis for Betty Page

Amen for Gloria Steinham and Ronald Reagan

Amen for O J Clinton too

Amen for the Republican witch hunt coup

Amen for Gandhi for Malcolm X

Amen for the uprising of the weaker sex

Amen for Babylon the third world's call

Amen for the unity of us all

Amen Amen Amen

And I am not unique

We are all leave on this great big tree

This tree that is life

That is God that is you that is me

And I lie under my tree like the Buddhas

Before and after me

And I ask the stars ＂What for ＂

Yes I feel something I can't explain

A light that flickers off and on again

And I look to the sky And I ask these questions

Yes I feel something I don't understand

Oh can somebody say Amen

Can somebody say Amen

Can somebody say Amen

Amen Amen
