Lyrics

St John of the Ladder

Last night I had a dream , deja  vu man this spells trouble
I saw St John of the ladder
Thirty steps then free
But what a bitch of a climb
Men turned into demons
Enemies of themselves
Fighting the ascent
Like that man-dispassionate, free of fear to lend a helping hand
Because if someone fell, it would be into the abyss of hell
And you my dear friends were companions to me as it unfolded on the plaza
Sur-real to me is that such drama plays out right now

Yes, he's the one I was dreaming of
And in the dream a tuniced monk
And in the dream a lothario
An abuser and a drunk
And because of John of the ladder on the high road we walk

Last night I woke up with a bullet in the gullet
You could say a mere nightmare
Though vivid in its scope
manacled my hands

Starved of my longing
Something is going down
I can't run it it feels like now

Yes, he's the one I was dreaming of
And in the dream a tuniced monk
And in the dream a lothario
An abuser and a drunk
And because of John of the ladder on the high road we walk
