Spinning Wheel (Coming Down) - Live

Momma's in the kitchen mixing turpentine and oil
Water's on the stove now you can hear it as it boils
My eyes shift to the window as the sky begins to hail
Dogs howl in the distance and a bay starts to wail
And there's a storm over this town
Coming down

Man on the TV selling ignorance and fear
Friend if you've got half a mind then your money's no good here
They say ignorance is bliss but its big business is what it is
The right hand feeds the reptiles while the left hand keeps it hid
And the blood calls from the ground
Coming down

Ezekiel saw visions of a great big spinning wheel
Lit up like a carousel in the middle of a field
Visions come and visions go like lovers, friends and kings
My eyes are wide open and man I'm still seeing things
And that wheel's still spinning round
Coming down

Jesus was a carpenter nearly all his life
His father was an architect who never took a wife
Judas was a bullet from the hand of union Jews
And Pilate, a politician with elections to lose
And a skill for weaving crowns

Now the sheep is on the table and the lion's at the door
Sister's on the front porch dragging steak across the floor
Me, I'm gripping silver and measuring the beams
Thinking bout the girl who brought me into this dream
And how I should be waking now
I should be waking now
I should be waking
