The Jacob Ladder Songtext

von Jerry Joseph

Wire, got a wire to my heart
Fire, got a fire in my heart
Baby's out howling at the UFOs
One day they might beam her into space
She's out there in the desert taking off her clothes
Spinning 'til she's gone without a trace
Come here little honey, I'd love to paint your eyes
Just don't wake me for the rapture, 'cause you know I hate goodbyes
With a million good excuses but none of them will matter
Gonna climb
Up the Jacob Ladder
Whip, whip this aging mule
Whip, whip this aging mule
Baby she sees Jacob in the glass in Switzerland
So she scaling up the ramparts to offer him a hand
I'll throw you out some whiskey; you'll throw me down a line
You'll pull me up this ladder, one rung at a time
Jacob says hey baby, what about your brother Cain
‘Cause he's angry and delusional with water on the brain
Well they threw him from the garden, 'cause he's meaner than a hatter
Long fall
From the Jacob Ladder
From the Jacob Ladder
Bind, won't you bind my shaking hand
Bind, bind my shaking hand
Baby's out shooting up the holy land
Running with the troubled sons of Abraham
Lord knows I love her but I've got to let her run
So I watch her from a distance 'til she's got her killing done
Come here little darling, it's time to show the sword
‘Cause out here in the desert you can hear the lions roar
And now that you and Jacob, in your service of the Lord
Throw down your golden idols watch them shatter
Your lost tribes of Israel watch them scream and scatter
Gonna climb
Up the Jacob Ladder
Come here little honey, I'd love to kiss your eyes
You can wake me for the rapture, 'cause I'm not afraid to die
They can crucify you baby but it really will not matter
‘Cause we'll climb up the Jacob Ladder
Up the Jacob Ladder
Up the Jacob Ladder
Up the Jacob Ladder
