The Next Day

And the next day
I felt something
Which I'd never felt before
I was talking to a man
I was talking to
He said he was Jehovah
But he could be you
I told him that I knew him
But he didn't know me
He looked into my eyes
And said that he agreed
The next day
What a surprise
The next day
What a surprise
Now I'm with the woman
With the white face on
She said she knew a secret
And she's keeping one
I asked her if I knew her
And she said maybe
She said she was my mother
She could be my lover
This is the voice of God speaking
I won't attempt to hide it or anything
I got worn-out shoes and a jacket for dancing
I'm the original sinner in just about anything
The smoke cleared
I think I'd had a cigarette
He was smoking at a teepee
He couldn't really see me
What a surprise
When he looked at my eyes
I was passing
I was leaving
Oh, it couldn't be
It couldn't be
Said he knew how it felt
And it couldn't be helped
The next day
My lover
The next day
This is the voice
The next day
This is the voice
I won't attempt
To hide this thing
This is the voice
Of original sin
