0:35Once in a while a man comes along
0:43Even his failures were favorite songs
0:52Oh to have made something so unsurpassed
1:00As certain things fall away some certain things last
1:35A body goes down in the Mississippi waters
1:43Weighted by a beauty afraid of it's light
1:51Notify your holy men console your sons and daughters
2:00And tell me one more time
2:04What is just what is right
2:43Chances are good we spread blasphemous lies
2:52Safe to say nobody knew what was inside
3:01Of course there is grace and those halos of pain
3:09Maybe he sang what he came here to sing
3:43A body goes down in the Mississippi waters
3:51Weighted by a beauty afraid of it's light
4:00Notify your holy men console your sons and daughters
4:08And tell me one more time
4:12What is just what is right
4:51Speed on to the next world speed on to the next life
5:01Better I'm sure by far
5:09Orpheus driven treasures given
5:18Heal the most broken of hearts
5:26Speed on speed on speed on
Once in a while a man comes along Even his failures were favorite songs Oh to have made something so unsurpassed As certain things fall away some certain things last A body goes down in the Mississippi waters Weighted by a beauty afraid of it's light Notify your holy men console your sons and daughters And tell me one more time What is just what is right Chances are good we spread blasphemous lies Safe to say nobody knew what was inside Of course there is grace and those halos of pain Maybe he sang what he came here to sing A body goes down in the Mississippi waters Weighted by a beauty afraid of it's light Notify your holy men console your sons and daughters And tell me one more time What is just what is right Speed on to the next world speed on to the next life Better I'm sure by far Orpheus driven treasures given Heal the most broken of hearts Speed on speed on speed on
