Bring out the lanterns and bring down the shades
Poke through the door and you cut out all of the gray
Just let him be
Stand in the doorway and bark at the cops
Bring them some water and teach them to eat your crop
But let them be
The mark on the table, the lock on the door
The light in the cavern, the note on the floor
The people saved, well before that you said
You wound up almost dead
Muscle and barley that ferment on top
Lick on their faces and teach them to like your hops
But let them be
Lead me to 12th Street and lead me to Rome
Lead us to freedom, I'll lead you all the way home
Just let us be.
The mark on the table, the lock on the door
The light in the cavern, the note on the floor
The people you saved, well before that you said
You wound up almost dead
