"The Great Conductor" Lyrics [edit]
by Steven Delopoulos | from the album Straightjacket
 

So you dived beneath the tide, and you radio the sky
And you leave your desert land, and your fortune all behind
It’s a sequel never told
As you build it, you can tell it
As the waves flush out the notes you built that temple just to sell it
And the moon is sittin’ speechless, as our castles slowly burnin’
(O-h o-h)

Well I bought a cup of coffee when I asked her for her hand
She was checking me for Egypt
She was shaking me for sand
But I’ve, I’ve have been resurrected, years ago

So you listen to the signs
And you can’t believe the sound
Feels like blood is in the air
Like that lion’s close around
I can’t do it on my own
You must be sober to reject him
Like a soldier with a Bible but no armor to protect him
If you listen to the saints, they’ll give you juice enough to fl-y
(O-h)

Now they found him in the catwalk when he was knighted for the throne
And the crowd was throwing harmonies to claim him as their own
As I close my eyes
And vanished
In the blessing

And o-h o-oh, there’s a fire in the sky
Oh o-oh, sit beside me on that last train
Oh o-oh, there’s a pinch before we’re through it
Oh o-oh, close your eyes we’re almost to it

To the punch the pain that popped our famous egos out the window as we grew
And she opened up her eyes to see that mansion full of glory
She was brand new, brand new brand new brand new
Brand new brand new brand new
Brand new brand new brand n-ew

So you start with kicking pebbles as you learn to fight in silence
And you orchestrate His presence as you crucify the man
Well there’s a wand in your command, as you became, the Great Conductor

So its fire turned to gold, you can catch it in the steam
As you slowly disappear, in that crucifixion dream
You’re hanging in the balance, of that heavenly perfection
While you’re having a conversation nonchalantly in suspension
And you notice some’in’s different, as you’re hanging in the sk-y
(O-h o-oh)

Well I got up from my knees but I was dizzy from the trance
I was speaking like the angels I was raptured in the dance
Moving mountains, with a glance

And o-h o-oh, we must leave our Earthly beds
Oh o-oh, and pray for those who strike us
Oh oh oh, in His house there are no weapons
Oh oh oh, heal the sick and raise the dead

Raise the ballroom where we danced until the broken sun surprised us from our doom
And we promised on our knees we would return the devil’s keys we were in bloom
I do, I do, I do
I do, I do, I do
I do, I do, I do

So you start with kicking pebbles as you learn to fight in silence
And you orchestrate His presence as you crucify the man
Well there’s a wand in your command, as you expand

(Oh oh o-oh)
(3X)
