To Kingdom Come (remixed 2018) Songtext
von The Band

Forefather pointed to kingdom come
Sadly told his only son
"Just be careful what you do
It all comes back on you"

False witness spread the news
Somebody′s gonna lose
Either she or me or you
Nothing we can do

So, don't you say a word
Or reveal a thing you′ve heared
Time will tell you well
If you truly, truly fell


Tarred and feathered, yeah
Thistles and thorns
"One or the other"
He kindly warned
"Now you look out the window, tell me
What do you see?"
"I see a golden calf pointing back at me"

I've been sitting in here for so darn long
Waitin' for the end to come along
Holy roaster on the brink
Take a chance, swim or sink

False witness, cast an evil eye
Said, "I cannot tell a lie
Haints and saints don′t bother me
I′m not alone, you see"

So, don't you say a word
Or reveal a thing you′ve heared
Time will tell you well
If you truly, truly fell


Tarred and feathered, yeah
Thistles and thorns
"One or the other"
He kindly warned
"Now you look out the window, tell me
What do you see?"
"I see a golden calf pointing back at me"
