Holy Moses

Holy Moses Floating down the stream How can I tell what is real From what's in this dream Rising waters Moses stop the floods Sweeping all the evidence Underneath old mother's rugs Old mother's crying Wonders where we'd been Uncle sits across the room Winking with a gleam Don't worry father His message was received Now Holy Moses waits for you Underneath the trees He cries For you Bring home the breakfast Basket full of fruit If you don't say your evening prayer then You'll go hungry too Lights out in the basement Its only half past ten Fifteen padlocks on the door 'Til morning comes again I Don't mind Holy Moses What a life I've lived I can't swim in the current and I'm drowning in the rip Rising waters Moses stop the floods My lungs are filled with pinot noir and My mouth is full of blood He cries For you
