Well I'll tell you a story of whiskey and mystics and men

da da da

And about the believers and how the whole thing began

da da da

First there were women and children obeying the moon

da da da

then daylight brought wisdom and fever and sickness too soon

da da da

you can try to remind me instead of the other you can

da da da

you can help to insure that we all insecure are command

da da da

If you don't give a listen I won't try to tell your new hand

da da da

this is it can't you see that we all have our in's in the band

da da da

da da da

da da da

And if all of the teachers and preachers of wealth were a-reigned

we could see quite a future for me in the literal sands

and if all of the people could claim to expect such regrets

da da da

well we'd have no forgiveness, forgetfullness, painful remorse.

da da da

so I tell you I tell you I tell you we must sail away

da da da

we must try to find a new answer instead of a way.
