Soul of the Sun

Cut the corner, kill the engine and headlights.
I'm gonna steal some gas
Got this deal on a three-legged pill,
My eyes are rolling back real fast
I'm running hard from a fenced in yard, and a man I wouldn't wanna be
For I have not seen the soul of the sun since 1973, since 19 & 73

A little fire gold sequined desire, knew I had to stop
Was it a heat haze coming off the street,
Or a hooker dressed up as a cop
She stepped inside my 3 dollar ride, we moved to higher ground
She said I'm going to where the green grass grows
And the river flows upside down, yeah the river flows upside

Have you seen the soul of the sun
Heard the howl of the holy gun
Have you heard the roll of the thunder
Knocked down by the power of one
Heard the howl of holy howl of the holy howl of the holy gun

Just my luck met him at a truck stop
trying to get his ass out of a jam
He was a high school teacher turned drive-thru preacher, and he called
Himself Bethlehem Stan
He said I attract attention like the mothers of invention,
We gotta move if we wanna see the light of day
For I have not seen the soul of the sun and I know it's coming my way
Ya I swear it's coming my way

Have you seen the soul of the sun
Heard the howl of the holy gun
Have you heard the roll of the thunder
Knocked down by the power of one
Heard the howl of holy howl of the holy howl of the holy gun
