Dime Store Mystery Lyrics - Reed Lou

He was lying banged and battered, skewered 

and bleeding talking crippled on the Cross 

Was his mind reeling and heaving 

hallucinating fleeing what a loss 

The things he hadn't touched or kissed 

his senses slowly stripped away 

Not like Buddha not like Vishnu 

life wouldn't rise through him again 

I find it easy to believe 

That he might question his beliefs 

The Beginning of the Last Temptation 

Dime Store Mystery 

The duality of nature, Godly nature, human nature 

splits the soul 

Fully human, fully divine and divided 

the great immortal soul 

Split into pieces, whirling pieces, opposites attract 

From the front, the side, the back 

The mind itself attacks 

I know this feeling, I know it from before 

Descartes through Hegel 

Belief is never sure 

Dime Store Mystery, Last Temptation 

I was sitting drumming thinking thumping pondering 

the Mysteries of Life 

Outside the city shrieking screaming whispering 

the Mysteries of Life 

There's a funeral tomorrow at St Patrick's 

the bells will ring for you 

What must you have been thinking 

when you realized the time had come for you 

I wish I hadn't thrown away my time 

on so much Human 

and so much less Divine 

The end of the Last Temptation 

The end of a Dime Store Mystery
