Bring me the head of John the Baptist Show it round and shine His cloudy, marble, crossed and final eyes Once more into mine. Give me a leg up high enough To see beyond this wall, To be the first to see the victors take the gate Or to be the last one so fall. I said, "I meant a world of good" And she said, "I wouldn't doubt it" Standing where she was, She kissed the back of my head; I said, "we could make the woods" But she said, "how 'bout it — Let's sleep and let them Find us here instead." Every time I catch a good sang Wouldn't you know — the station starts to fade, But every step I've ever taken Has brought me in time just to hear it slip away. Bring me the head of John the Baptist Show it round and shine His cloudy, marble, crossed and final eyes Once more into mine.
