Joe Strummer

Long Shadow
Well I'll tell you one thing that I knowYou don't face your demons down You gotta grapple 'em Jack and pin 'em to the groundThe devil may care, maybe god he won'tYou better make sure you check on the do's and the don'tsCrawl up a mountain To reach where the eagles flyTo show you can glimpse from the mountian top Where the soul of the muse might rideAnd if you put it all togetherYou won't have to look aroundYou know you cast a long shadow on the groundThen one day I could tell my tracksAbout the holes in the soles of my shoesAnd that's the day I said I'm gonna make the newsAnd fallen back in the gardenThe days so long agoSomewhere in the memory The sun shines on you boyAnd playing in the Arroyo'sWhere the American rivers flowLetras de cancionesFrom the Appalachians Down to the Delta RoadsA man can think so long His brain could well explodeThe strings runnin' through the junctions A king comes down the roadAnd if you put it all togetherYou won't have to look aroundYou know you cast a long shadow on the groundListen to the countryThe night jar and the bellListen to the night stream lineup Soundin' like the wolves of hellHead for the waterThe waters of the cleansing spellIt was always our destinationOn the express of the never do wellsAnd we rocked through Madison's cityAnd we didn't even know she was thereAnd when we hit the bumpers in MemphisBeale street didn't have no prayerAnd I hear punks talk of anarchyI hear hobo's on the railroadsI hear mutterings on the chain gangsIt was those men who built the roadsAnd if you put it all together You didn't even once relentYou cast a long shadowAnd that is your testamentSomewhere in my soulThere's always rock and rollYeah!
