Lyrics
Jerusalem
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
All persons concerned
Prepare to bring about
Great pleasure or stimulation
I can hardly control myself
Don't know what to say
There's a voice that's calling me
From far away
I am no prophet
No more than you
But the way these things are coming to me
They've got to be true
The people on the street
And the dogs at their feet
Don't know what they're missing
Don't know what they've got in their mind's eye
and I hear
I don't wanna be here
Let's quit this show
Just leave your friends here
They'll never know
I won't fall because we all forgot the line
All scheming elation
All scheming elation
All persons concerned
Prepare to bring about
Great pleasure or stimulation
You can hardly control yourself
You just might die
God's looking down on you
So don't be shy
You had your moments
You've done your best
And all the memorable things you've done
Got to give them a rest
But people on the streets
And the dogs at their feet
They don't even know you
They don't even know your name
And you're here
I don't wanna be here
Let's quit this show
Just leave your friends here
They'll never know
I won't fall because we all forgot the line
All scheming elation
All scheming elation
All scheming elation
Jerusalem
Jerusalem
Jerusalem is here
Goodbye my friend
Take heed the end
Jerusalem is here
