Jimmy found his own sweet sound when he won that free guitar And we'd all get in the van and play Life became the Paradox, the Bell, the Rouge et noir On the stretch of road running to LA Pages turning, pages we were years from learning Straight into the night our hearts were flung

All the world was shining from those hills With the stars above and the lights below Among those there to test their fortune and their will I lost track of the score long ago Pages turning, pages we were years from learning Straight into the night our hearts were flung Better bring your own redemption when you come To the barricades of heaven where I'm from

When I was a kid everything I did was trying to be free Running up and down Tinsel Town with the fire inside of me My planet's all in retrograde, the best of all my plans got laid I made my breaks, and some mistakes, just not the ones people think I made

But it's the long way around It's so hard keeping track of what's gone wrong The covenant unravels, and the news just rolls along I could feel my memory letting go some two or three disasters ago It's hard to say which did more ill, Citizens United or the Gulf oil spill And I'm a long way gone Down this wild road I'm on It's going to take me where I'm bound But it's the long way around It's never been that hard to buy a gun Now they'll sell a Glock 19 to just about anyone The seeds of tragedy are there in what we feel we have the right to bear To watch our children come to harm there in the safety of our arms

Standing in the ocean with the sun burning low in the west Like a fire in the cavernous darkness at the heart of the beast With my beliefs and possessions Stopped at the frontier in my chest At the edge of my country, my back to the sea Looking east Where the search for the truth is conducted with a wink and a nod And where power and position are equated with the grace of God These times are famine for the soul While for the senses it's a feast From the edge of my country, as far as you see Looking east Hunger in the midnight, hunger at the stroke of noon Hunger in the mansion, hunger in the rented room Hunger on the TV, hunger on the printed page And there's a God sized hunger Underneath the laughing and the rage In the absence of light And the deepening night Where I wait for the sun Looking east How long have I left my mind to the powers that be? How long will it take to find the higher power moving in me? Power in the insect Power in the sea Power in the snow falling silently Power in the blossom Power in the stone Power in the song being sung alone Power in the wheat field Power in the rain Power in the sunlight and the hurricane Power in the silence Power in the flame Power in the sound of the lover's name The power of the sunrise and the power of a prayer released On the edge of my country, I pray for the ones with the least Hunger in the midnight, hunger at the stroke of noon Hunger in the banquet, hunger in the bride and groom Hunger on the TV, hunger on the printed page And there's a God-sized hunger Underneath the questions of the age And an absence of light In the deepening night Where I wait for the sun Looking east
