Blue yster Cult — The Vigil

[Verse 1: Buck Dharma] In a purple vision (Vision...) Many thousand years ago I saw the silent stranger (Stranger...) Walk the earth alone Twenty-seven faces (Faces...) With their eyes turned to the sky I've got a camera (Camera...) And an air-tight alibi [Verse 2: Buck Dharma] I know they're out there We see them coming Faster than the speed of light They greet us in the dead of the night [Verse 3: Buck Dharma] (Somewhere) Someday, someone They'll be light and sound They'll alight on the ground on which we stand (Somewhere) Someday, someone Will help us to survive They're gonna show us hell and bring us back alive [Verse 4: Buck Dharma] Well, I'm no poet But I can't be fooled The lies don't count The whispers do I hear the whispers on the wind They say the earth has fallen due [Verse 5: Buck Dharma] We run in circles Our days are numbered Every night I look away To the heavens and I pray [Bridge] (Come to us) (Come to us) (Come to us) (Come to us) [Outro: Buck Dharma] Our lights are dim Our roads are crumbling (Down...) And we don't know what to do We're sick and tired and dying to meet you (Meet you...) 'Cause we bit off more than we can chew
