7th Avenue Prophet Lyrics

A pair of dog tags you called sympathy
Hung like a cross around your neck
On tired streets you sermoned tirelessly
For the crowds that gathered in your head

No one seems to notice as they pass
Battering rams can't break through the glass
You said you can't keep on running forever
Love is the only forever
You're sure they'll come around someday

'73 black leather bomber coat
Draped like a cassock across your chest
On stormy nights sometimes I'd stop and you would smile
And swear the rain don't get us wet

No one seems to notice as they pass
Battering rams can't break through the glass
You said you can't keep on running forever
Love is the only forever

You're sure they'll come around someday

But no one ever came around
Those pretty words they let you down
And the last time I went by
The only thing that I could find
Was a beat up cardboard sign that said love will save us all

You had this grin that you called honesty
Smelled more like liquor on your breath
In a moment of clarity you said freedom's just worth dying for
If you've got none to live for left

No one seems to notice as they pass
Battering rams can't break through the glass
You said you can't keep on running forever
Love is the only forever
You're sure they'll come around someday

A pair of dog tags you called sympathy
Hung like a cross around your neck
On tired streets you sermoned tirelessly
