lyrics

wipe the dust from your feet.
i have no wise words to tell you
i will wake you from your sleep
and in the morning, kiss you

all the crackers in D C
are trying to sell you something
but don't buy what you can't see
even if they let you.
even if they let you.


wipe the sweat from your brow
it's a job just getting out of bed
but just in time you may find
ordinary magic out the window

all the hackers eating crackers at the bar
hear singers with crossed fingers on guitars
and old Moses struck the water and made it part
but young Jesus he just walked across
young Jesus said, "i'll just walk".
