The 33rd Of August Lyrics - Joan Baez

Today, there's no salvation, the band's packed up and gone 

Left me standing with my penny in my hand 

there's a big crowd at the station where the blind man sings his song 

But he can see what they cant understand. 

(CHORUS) 

Its the thirty-third of August and I'm finally touching down 

Eight days from Sunday finds me Saturday bound. 

Once I stumbled through the darkness, tumbled to my knees 

A thousand voices screaming in my brain 

Woke up in a squad car, busted down for vagrancy 

Outside my cell as sure as hell, it looked like rain.

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

But now I've got my dangerous feelings under lock and chain 

Guess I killed my violent nature with a smile 

Though the demons danced and sang their song within my fevered brain 

Not all my God-like thoughts, Lord, were defiled
