Well I'll tell you a story of whiskey and mystics and men   da da da   And about the believers and how the whole thing began   da da da   First there were women and children obeying the moon   da da da   then daylight brought wisdom and fever and sickness too soon   da da da   you can try to remind me instead of the other you can   da da da   you can help to insure that we all insecure are command   da da da   If you don't give a listen I won't try to tell your new hand   da da da   this is it can't you see that we all have our in's in the band   da da da   da da da   da da da   And if all of the teachers and preachers of wealth were a-reigned   we could see quite a future for me in the literal sands   and if all of the people could claim to expect such regrets   da da da   well we'd have no forgiveness, forgetfullness, painful remorse.   da da da   so I tell you I tell you I tell you we must sail away   da da da   we must try to find a new answer instead of a way.
