Album: Boys For Pele
Muhammad My Friend
it's time to tell the world
we both know it was a girl back in Bethlehem
and on that fateful day
when she was crucified
she wore Shiseido Red and we drank tea
by her side
sweet sweet
used to be so sweet to me
Muhammad my friend
I'm getting very scared
teach me how to love my brothers
who don't know the law
and what about the deal on the flying
trapeze got a peanut butter hand
but honey do drop in at the
Dew Drop Inn
sweet sweet
between the boys and the bees
and Moses I know
I know you've seen fire
but you've never seen fire
until you've seen the Pele blow
and I've never seen light
but I sure have seen gold
and Gladys save a place for me
on you grapevine
till I get my own TV show
ashre ashre ashre ashre
and if I lose my Cracker Jacks at the
tidal wave I got a place
in the Pope's rubber robe
Muhammad my friend
it's time to tell the world we both know it was a girl
back in Bethlehem
