Houses Of The Holy

I was burned in the heat of the moment,
No, it could've been the heat of the day.
When I learned how my time had been wasted,
Dear fellows I turned away.
Now I've got friends who will give me the shoulder,
When I should happen to fall.
The timing is right, now I'm older.
I've got friends who will give in before I fall.

Corner of bleaker and nowhere noway,
In the land of not quite day.
A shiver runs down my backbone,
Face in the mirror turns grey.
So I looked around for a hitch from a raindeer,
Said you oughtta find him out in the day.
I turned around to look for the snowman,
To my surprise he'd melted away yeah.

The moon and the stars fill the order,
As the tide tends to ebb and sway.
The sun in my soul's sinking lower,
While the hope in my hands turns to clay.
I don't ask that my feet fall on clover,
I don't roam at opportunity's door.
Why don't you ask my advice, take it slower,
Let your story will be your finest reward.

Lost on the path to attainment,
Search in the eyes of the wise.
When I bled from the heart of the matter,
I started bleeding without a disguise.
Now everything's finally happened,
Now and then you've got to take time to pause.
[????] down on the ground and you're messing with [?????],
If you land in a boat without oars.

Hey babe, hey babe, hey babe,
I lost my way.
Hey babe, hey babe,
I really, really did now.
Hey babe, hey babe,
I don't know where I'm gonna find it.
Hey babe, hey babe,
Do you wanna know,
Do you really really wanna help me yeah?

Let me tell you now babe,
Let me tell you,
That is fells so good that it must be right.

Now my babe,
Let me tell you,
That it feels so good that it must be right.

Now my babe,
Let me tell you,
If it feels so good.
