Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros
Get Down Moses (Outtake)
[Verse 1]
Once I got to the mountain top, tell you what I could see
Prairie full of lost souls running from the priests of iniquity
Where the hell was Elijah?
And what do you do when the prophecy game was through?

[Pre-Chorus]
We gotta take the walls of Jericho
Put your lips together and blow
To the very top
Say the truth crystallizes like jewels in the rock
In the rock

[Chorus]
Get down, Moses, part another sea
Carve another tablet out of LSD
Get down, Moses, out in Tennessee
Get down, Moses, down in thе street
The blood is washing down all the gravel to your feet
Gеt down, Moses, down in the pit

[Verse 2]
Lying in a dream, cross a battlefield, then after, the downtown strip
Looking in the eyes of the diamonds and the spies and the hip
Who's sponsoring the crack ghetto?
Who's lecturing? Who's in the know and in the don't know?
[Pre-Chorus]
We better take the walls of Jericho
Put your lips together and blow
Goin' to the very top
Where the truth crystallizes like jewels in the rock
In the rock

[Chorus]
Get down, Moses, from the eagle's aerie
You gotta to make a new friend out of old enemies
Get down, Moses, back in Tennessee
Get down, Moses, down with the dreads
They got a lot of reasoning in a dreadhead
Get down, Moses, down in the street

[Instrumental Break]



[Chorus]
Get down, Moses, we need to eat
We gotta chew it over with our wisdom teeth
Get down, Moses, out of the Earth
Get down, Moses, come on, be free
It's lost in memory
Get down, Moses
[Outro]
Get down, Moses
Get down, Moses
Get down, Moses
Get down, Moses
Get down, Moses
Get down, Moses
Get down, Moses
Get down, Moses
