Then the stranger suddenly spoke
and the one was sleeping woke
and the one who was always talking paused and turned
and I who never knew finally learned.
Drive the demon out of the garden
he’ll go searching for the seeds
we are watering dead roses
while drinking sap from the tree.
If a road leads to a place
it must also lead away.
Oh please, oh please, I pray and pray,
lead away.
The genie in the bottle,
he’ll say anything to get out.
He’ll bring back Jesus for you.
He’ll clean your whole house.
He says he can get you laid,
make you a couple of new good friends.
The best part’s coming, he says,
but you gotta wait til the end.
If a road leads to a place
it must also lead away.
Oh please, oh please, I pray and pray,
lead away.
I have stared into the one-eyed skull.
I have prayed to the ghost of the prince.
I have walked singing through deepest snow
convinced I left no footprint.
The genie in the bottle says
thou shalt have no gods before
I will grant your dreams loud and terrible,
but not for free. No, not for free.
If a road leads to a place
it must also lead away.
Oh please, oh please, I pray and pray,
lead away.
