Lyrics for Up There Down There by PATTI SMITH:
| | | Artist: | PATTI SMITH |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Up There Down There | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 60 | | | | Lyrics: | Up there
There's a ball of fire
Some call it the spirit
Some call it the sun
Its
energies are not for hire
It serves man It serves everyone
Down there where Jonah
wails
in the healing water
in the ready depths
Twisting like silver swans
No line of
death no boundaries
Up there
The eye is hollow The eye is winking
The winds ablaze
Angels howling
The sphinx awakens But what can she say
You'd be amazed
Down
there
Your days are numbers
Nothing to fear
There will be trumpets
There will be
silence
In the end the end
Will be here just here
Ahh the borders of heaven
Are
zipped up tight tonight
The abstract streets
The lights like some switched on
Mondrian
Cats like us are obsolete
Hey Man don't breathe on my feet
Thieves, poets we're
inside out
And everybody's a soldier
Angels howl at those abstract lights
And the
borders of heaven
Are zipped up tight tonight
Up there
There's a ball of
fire
Some call it the spirit
Some call it the sun
Its energies are not for hire
It
serves man It serves everyone
The air we breathe
The flame of wisdom
The earth we
grind
The beckoning sea
It's no mystery Not sentimental
Ahh the equation It's all
elemental
The world is restless
Heaven in flux Angels appear
From the bright
storm
Out of the shadows
Up there, down there
But what can we say
Man's been
forewarned
All communion is not holy
Even those that fall
They can prophet
understanding
It's all for man It's for everyone
It's up there, down there
Everywhere
Everywhere
Time for communion | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
