Lyrics (unofficial)

Diatribe against evil written on a check
When evening fell apart you were smitten by a speck
On The Wreck of the Hesperus sittin' on the deck

Back wherever we started from again
All of us want to be there then

In the most obvious deluge we denying a storm
Your ancestral shadow providing a form
The hands of the motherland reliant and warm

Back wherever we started from again
All of us want to be there then
Try, try, try to comfort him
Back wherever we started from again

Caesar was a gambler, he rolled the dice
Bonaparte the conqueror who came apart twice
Iscariot in the moment before he sold out Christ

Back wherever we started from again
All of us want to be there then
Try, try, try to comfort him
Back wherever we started from
