I saw my old friend Gabriel
Down the perimeter ringing a bell
I said hello
Hey man is there something wrong?
Where has everybody gone?
I don't know
Well I put my hand across my mouth
And I went out
Yeah moving slow
What are you doing he said to me
I'm looking for my company
He said don't bother no
Next thing you know when I took a look
Gabe was trying to sell me a book
But I got no dough
He said check it out it's going cheap
Check it out it's going cheap
I'll give it a go
Well I read that book every page
And then I put it away
Said I don't think so
It makes slaves of all of womankind
And corpses of men
And I just don't know
And we care a little bit
We get scared a little bit
Of those two cold dead eyes
That stare a little bit
And we cry a little bit
And we get by a little bit
Let your tears
All come falling down
Put me on a big white steed
Ride it up and down your street
Wrapped in a crimson coat
Sail me in a green big boat
I'll sail around the waters for you
Kill your sons and daughters for you
Put me on a big white horse
Send me down to Banbury Cross
It's OK Joe it's time to go
