Mystic - Joshua James

There is a mystic in the mountain high above the Great Salt Lake

He’s dancin' in the heaven far below his golden gates

He’s lookin' at our cars below

And laughin' at our rock and roll

So I found a little woman, thought that I could change her name

She had the colour of the city and the fire of the country flame

So I hid my body down below, hoping that my skin won’t show

A mystic from the mountain and in the end what did you say we’d find

A promise from a pamphlet, a crucifixion on your highway sign

But I sold you for a cigarette, does it make you want to love me less

And if I don’t believe.

What does that mean?

And when I die alone, who will eat my soul

In the cave of God, while the angels watch

There’s a manic scream, hallelujah

Babe I know I lost you, the moment you could finally see

The part of me I’d hidden, far below our leather seats

If I could make you understand the empty that I tried to fill

I’d crucify my body, leave the pieces at your mystics heels

But I sold you for a cigarette

Hope you’d sell me off for less

And if we don’t agree

What does that leave

And when you die alone

I will eat your soul

In the cave of God

While the angels watch

There’s a manic scream hallelujah
