Get Down Moses Lyrics - Singles - Joe Strummer And The Mescaleros

Once I got to the mountain top, tell you what I could see 

Prairie full of lost souls running from the priests of iniquity 

Where the hell was Elijah 

What do you do when the prophecy game was through 

We gotta take the walls of Jericho 

Put your lips together and blow 

To the very top 

Say the truth crystallizes like jewels in the rock, in the rock 

Get down Moses, part another sea 

Carve another tablet out of L.S.D. 

Get down Moses, out in Tennessee 

Get down Moses, down in the street 

The blood washing down all the gravel to our feet 

Get down Moses, down in the pit 

Lying in a dream, cross a battle field 

Crashing on a downtown strip 

Looking in the eyes of the diamonds and the spies and the hip 

Who's sponsoring the crack ghetto 

Who's lecturing, who's in the know and in the don't know 

You better take the walls of Jericho 

Put your lips together and blow 

Goin' to the very top 

Where the truth crystallizes like jewels, in the rock, in the rock 

Get down Moses, eagle's aerie 

You gotta to make new friends out of old enemies 

Get down Moses, back in Tennessee 

Get down Moses, down with the dreads 

They got a lotta reasoning in a deadhead 

Get down Moses, down in the street 

Get down Moses, part another sea 

Carve another tablet out of L.S.D. 

Get down Moses, out in Tennessee 

Get down Moses, down in the street 

The blood washing down all the gravel to our feet 

Get down Moses, down in the pit 

Get down Moses, get down Moses 

Get down Moses, we need to eat 

We gotta chew it over with our wisdom teeth 

Get down Moses
