0:13Solomon had his following, he heard his calling
0:16In a fever dream at 4 or 5 in the morning
0:19Nothing he thought would enter him into the canon
0:22But he had to take the work the world would hand him, in this gig economy
0:29Solomon built his temple, as an example
0:32But his people trashed the place like it was a rental
0:35Sooner or later you see this side of the cannon
0:38But the song won’t play if you don’t let the band in....
0:43Stranger every time I open up my eyes....
0:47Stranger every time I open up my eyes....
1:07Solomon had his following
1:09They had been calling him by so many names that he lost track of all of them
1:13Famous for nearly killing the kid and expecting
1:16That his blind faith was as honorable as the next thing
1:20He prayed for happy landing
1:23Solomon knew astronomy
1:25Didn’t take Ptolemy to say “the Pharisees got nothing on me”
1:29Sooner or later you see that side of the cannon
1:33As you look up from the jar you had your hand in
1:37Stranger every time I open up my eyes...
1:41Stranger every time I open up my eyes...
1:48These are bad signs, while rivers of bad wine are poured down our culture
1:57Blood’s what we draw here, as we skip to the best bits
2:04Trying to mess with the names on the guest list
2:10Waiting for screen time, waiting for starlight
2:17Waiting to skip line, waiting for starlight
2:23Waiting for checkmate, wanting to get straight
2:43Solomon has his following, he had his calling in a fever dream at 4 or 5 in the morning
2:50Sooner or later you see this side of the cannon
2:53But the song won’t play if you don’t let the band in
2:56Solomon had his following...
3:03Solomon had his following...
3:10Stranger every time I open up my eyes...
3:14Stranger every time I open up my eyes...
3:18Stranger every time I open up my eyes...
3:23Stranger every time I open up my eyes...
