Up There Down There (Digitally Remasted, 1996)歌词

patti smith
up there down there

Up there

There's a ball of fire

Some call it the spirit

Some call it the sun

Its energies are not for hire

It serves man It serves everyone

Down there where Jonah wails
in the healing water

in the ready depths

Twisting like silver swans

No line of death no boundaries

Up there

The eye is hollow

The eye is winking

The winds ablaze

Angels howling

The sphinx awakens
But what can she say
You'd be amazed
Down there

Your days are numbers

Nothing to fear

There will be trumpets

There will be silence

In the end the end
Will be here just here

Ahh the borders of heaven
Are zipped up tight tonight

The abstract streets

The lights like some switched on Mondrian

Cats like us are obsolete

Hey Man don't breathe on my feet

Thieves, poets we're inside out

And everybody's a soldier

Angels howl at those abstract lights

And the borders of heaven

Are zipped up tight tonight

Up there

There's a ball of fire

Some call it the spirit

Some call it the sun

Its energies are not for hire

It serves man It serves everyone

The air we breathe
The flame of wisdom
The earth we grind
The beckoning sea

It's no mystery Not sentimental

Ahh the equation It's all elemental

The world is restless
Heaven in flux Angels appear
From the bright storm
Out of the shadows
Up there, down there
But what can we say

Man's been forewarned

All communion is not holy

Even those that fall

They can prophet understanding
It's all for man It's for everyone

It's up there, down there

Everywhere Everywhere

Time for communion Time for communion

Talking communion ...
