Jesus Christ Superstar
Do you think you’re what they say you are
I look like Jesus, so they say
But Mister Jesus is very far away
Now you’re the only one here who can tell me if it’s true
That you love me and I love me
Jesus just left Chicago, and he’s bound for New Orleans
Working from one end to the other, and all points in between.
My, my, my, my lord - guruve namah
My sweet lord - hare rama
Riding on the City of New Orleans,
Illinois Central Monday morning rail
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders,
Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail.
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Risin’ Sun
I was on that midnight flier out of Birmingham, smoking into New Orleans.
Busted, down on Bourbon Street, set up like a bowling pin
Knocked down, it gets to wearing thin, they just won’t let you be, oh no.
Enemies and adversaries
Try to tear me down
You want me baby I dare you
Try and tear me down
Tear down the walls, tear down the walls
Gather my treasure and scatter it all
– Gordon Lightfoot, Cobwebs and Dust
And when I have destroyed you I’ll come picking through your bones
And you won’t have a single atom left to call your own
I will find a center in you
I will chew it up and leave
I will work to elevate you
Just enough to bring you down
Why do you build me up,
build me up, buttercup baby
just to let me down,
and mess me around?
You got me running going out of my mind
You got me thinking me that I’m wasting my time
Don’t bring me down
No, no, no, no, no, ooh ooh
I’ll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don’t bring me down
I’m only hanging on
To watch you go down, my love
Oh, I love
Oh oh my love
Only my love does it good… to me
And baby it’s true
You’re the one
Who caught me baby you taught me
How good it could be, little girl
You’re the one that’s got me down on my knees
So caught up in you, little girl
That I never want to get myself free
I’m free to do what I want
Any old time
No time for a summer friend
No time for the love you send
Seasons change and so did I
You need not wonder why
You need not wonder why
There’s no time left for you
No time left for you
Best of both worlds, that’s what you want
All your own way, that’s not my way
Take your new love, or take your true love
it’s time for you to chose which one you’d rather lose
