Passion Play Lyrics - Joni Mitchell

Magdalene is trembling 

Like a washing on a line 

Trembling and gleaming 

Never before was a man so kind 

Never so redeeming 

Enter the multitudes 

In Exxon blue 

In radiation rose 

Ecstasy 

Now you tell me 

Who you gonna get to do the dirty work 

When all the slaves are free? 

(Who're you gonna get)

Love Stinks, So Here Are 15 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs 

I am up a sycamore 

Looking through the leaves 

A sinner of some position 

Who in the world can this heart healer be 

This magical physician 

Enter the multitudes 

In Exxon blue 

In radiation rose 

Misery 

Now you tell me 

Who you gonna get to do the dirty work 

When all the slaves are free? 

(Who're you gonna get) 

Enter the multitudes 

The walking wounded 

They come to this diver of the heart 

Of the multitudes 

Thy kingdom come 

Thy will be done

Oh, climb down, climb down he says to me 

From the middle of unrest 

They think is light is squandered 

But he sees a stray in the wilderness 

And I see how far I've wandered 

Enter the multitudes 

In Exxon blue 

In radiation rose 

Apathy 

Now you tell me 

Who you gonna get to do the dirty work 

When all the slaves are free? 

(Who're you gonna get) 

Enter the multitudes 

The walking wounded 

They come to this diver of the heart 

Of the multitudes 

Thy kingdom come 

Thy will be done 

Oh, all around the marketplace 

The buzzing of the flies 

The buzzing and the stinging 

Divinely barren 

And wickedly wise 

The killer nails are ringing 

Enter the multitudes 

In Exxon blue 

In radiation rose 

Tragedy 

Now you tell me 

Who you gonna get to do the dirty work 

When all the slaves are free? 

(Who're you gonna get)
