lyrics

We danced neath the moon
To the cedar drum’s tune
We’ve been guided by the stars
We spent all we can get
On dreams and cheap cigars

Our saddlebags won’t make the trip
For all we have will be stripped
Of name and of mass
For at the end of our destiny
Lies a Pinhole Pass

We cannot take it with us to the land of the Tao
I have no answer, the song won’t help you now

We are the being
Through which the Prophet was seeing
All things as they are
We’re the sons of the ones
With hungry eyes in life’s bazaar

We shall be beaten
Burned and named as heathens
For without law we are dressed
But after taking our lot
We’ll be received to the breast

We cannot take it with us to the land of the Tao
I have no answer, the song won’t help you now

A song is just snake oil
You make it work for you
I’m just the salesmen
Doing as I do

There will come a time
When all song will step aside
Pure light of being
All that’s left of the guide

You cannot take me with you to the land of the Tao
I have no answer, the song won’t help you now
I have no answer, the song won’t help you now
