Joan in the Garden

In a book I found Joan in the garden I will write this down I will lay her heart in mine For a time Write a line Erase a line In the dawning light As she left her body Gifted second sight Did she lay her dowry by Lay it by Write a line Erase a line And if you listen closely You can hear them singing ho, oh, oh, oh And if you listen closely You can hear them singing ho, oh, oh, oh Hosanna Make her ten miles tall Make her arms cleave mountains Let her tempters fall Make her tears weep fountains by Now to try Write a line Erase a line And if you listen closely You can hear them singing ho, oh, oh, oh And if you listen closely You can hear them singing ho, oh, oh, oh Hosanna Just another tinsel ornament Another troubled sky We are folded in the firmament Catch us as we fly I don't remember what I ought to be I only know what's right I'm suspended from the orrery Bursting into light And If you listen closely You can hear them singing Hosanna, hosanna And if you listen closely You can hear them singing Hosanna, hosanna yeah! Hosanna yeah! Hosanna, hosanna yeah! Hosanna yeah! Hosanna, hosanna yeah! Hosanna yeah! Over stone and grapevine Over the souls on the breadline There's a reckoning at hand Our hand See them flayed at the flagpole Catch it all on your console We have come at your command We stand We stand Blessed babe on display Break her skull on the parquet Wayward mariner awake! We pray She is daughter and son The imperium undone All the autocrats are laid To waste To waste Oh holy whore androgyne Come and sunder the stop signs Break it all so we can build again Bring on duke or dauphin Blood will flow like a fountain As it ever was, so it will be again Will be again As it ever was, so it will be again Will be again As it ever was So it will be again, again Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna yeah! Hosanna yeah! Hosanna yeah!
