I saw my old friend Gabriel
Down the perimeter ringing a bell
I said hello
Hey man is there something wrong?
Where has everybody gone?
I don´t know
Well I put a rag across my mouth
And I went out
Yeah moving slow
What are you doing he said to me
I´m looking for my company
He said don´t brother no

Next thing you know when I took a look
Gabe was trying to sell me a book
But I got no dough
He said check it out it´s going cheap
Check it out it´s going cheap
Ok I´ll give it a go
I read that book every page
And then I put it away
Said I don´t think so

It makes slaves of all of womankind
And corpses of the men
And I just don´t know
And we care a little bit
We get scared a little bit
Of those two cold dead eyes
That stare a little bit
And we cry a little bit
And we get by a little bit
Let your tears
All come falling down

Put me on a big white steed!
Ride it up and down the street!
Wrapped up in a crimson coat!
Sail me in a great big boat!
I´ll sail around the waters for you
Kill your sons and daughters for you!
Put me on a big white horse!
Send me down to Banbury Cross!

It´s ok Joe it´s time to go!
