Hillside Saint

LET ME TELL YOU HOW I CAME HERE
STORY OF A TWO-BIT SEER

WROTE SOME SONGS NOBODY CARED
MADE IT CLEAR THEY WOULDN’T DARE
LISTEN TO ME
WASN’T ON THE TV SCREEN
NO HYPE NO FLASH NO VICARIOUS DREAMS - HILLSIDE SAINT
FODDER FOR PIGS AT THE TROUGH
NO BAIT FOR SARCASTIC BOARDROOM COUGHS- HILLISDE SAINT
I BELIEVE WIN OR LOSE HOLD ON TO ALL THAT’S TRUE TO YOU
HILLSIDE SAINT

I KNOW YOUR PAST NEVER ENDS
SEEN YOUR FUTURE NO NEED TO PRETEND
TODAY IN THE MIDDLE PRIDE YOU FEEL
TODAY IN THE MIDDLE MAKE IT REAL
MAKE IT REAL
THE HILLSIDE SAINT

SPRAY PAINTED SIGNS FOR YOU ALL
IN ALLEYWAYS AND SHOPPING MALLS
MESSAGE READ FOR SALVATION PLEASE CALL ROGER TUTT TO BE SET FREE
HAD CRAYON PLANETS ON MY WALLS
EVEN VENUS SOMETIMES FALLS
AMIDST THE CONVERSATIONS
SOME KIND OF TREPIDATION
WITH A SHARD FROM MY CRYSTAL BALL
I TORE OFF SATURN FROM THE WALL
LOST INSIDE A SENSE OF DOUBT
INTO THE WOODS I FOLLOWED A SOUND
STRANGE BRIGHT LIGHT BECKONED ME
INTO A VOID INTO THE SEA

WASN’T ON THE TV SCREEN
NO HYPE NO FLASH NO VICARIOUS DREAMS
I BELIEVE WIN OR LOSE HOLD ON TO ALL THAT’S TRUE TO YOU
HILLSIDE SAINT

I KNOW YOUR PAST NEVER ENDS
SEEN YOUR FUTURE NO NEED TO PRETEND
TODAY IN THE MIDDLE PRIDE YOU FEEL
TODAY IN THE MIDDLE MAKE IT REAL
MAKE IT REAL
THE HILLSIDE SAINT

SO HERE’S A FLUTE COME ON AND PLAY
THAT’S REALLY GREAT
THANKS FOR COMING THIS WAY
LOOK UP THERE AT THE GIANT HILL
LET’S GO CLIMB IT WILL BE A THRILL
AT THE TOP WE’LL STAND WITH PRIDE
AS WE WATCH THE OTHER SIDE

LET ME TELL YOU HOW I CAME HERE
STORY OF A TWO-BIT SEER
WROTE SOME SONGS
NOBODY CARED
MADE IT CLEAR THEY WOULDN’T DARE
LISTEN TO ME
