robert hallow and the holy men - empty plates lyrics

waiting day by day
for that voice that says
‘come follow, no, no no time to explain’
and so we gaze like dogs
at empty plates

up at the altar counting change
for goodness’ sake
for goodness sake the bread’s yet to be made
his poor believers drank the wine
and turned away

he hasn’t noticed though he’s staring through the stain
to see that girl with dirty legs
and a weeping willow for her mane
she says:
‘come quit your temple let’s go mental in the woods’
‘that’s not an option’
‘yes it is, or else’
‘you wouldn’t’
‘yes i would’

‘why aren’t you listening?’
‘i am, i am, but there better be something more’
‘love be gentle now, let’s not go mad. and i know that you won’t join me on my knees’
‘i don’t think you’re for me. no, no no’
and just after he leaves oh

there it goes again
(ya da dum+ba+dum)
a song to shake her violet heart
(ya dum+ba+dum)
there it goes again
(ya da dum+ba da, da,da)
soon girl soon

and it’s ‘mm+mm’
from up above
ooh boy fix your tie, you’re tasting blood
and all the worried people come say
‘brother, you are loved’

where, where will he go?
his aching jaw sunset in stone
he swears that all directions lead him down that th+rny road

down by the fountain in her little sister’s dress
she lifts a leg to catch his eye and says
‘boy, come help me confess’
but no no no, oh he’s not listening
so quick, sharp she lights a spell
then he’s on his knees for her and she says
‘lover, can’t you tell that i’ve been listening?
i have, i have and i know there’s something more
don’t be gentle, no
go on, let’s go mad. and i know that you don’t want this to be easy’

‘i don’t think you’re for me. no, no no’
and just after she leaves oh

there it goes again
(ya da dum+ba+dum)
a song to break his silent heart
(ya dum+ba+dum)
there it goes again
(ya da dum+ba da, da,da)

there it goes again
a song to break his silent heart
there it goes again
(ya da dum+ba+dum)
(ya da dum+ba da, da,da)

(ya da dum+ba+dum)
(ya da dum+ba+dum)
(ya da dum+ba+dum)
(ya da dum+ba+dum)
