Incomprehensible to kingdom come
Sadly told his only son
Just be careful what you do
It all comes back on you
False witness spread the news
Somebodys gonna lose
Either she or me or you
Nothing we could do
So dont you say a word
Or reveal a thing youve learned
Time will tell you well
If you truly, truly fell
Tarred and feathered, yeah
Thistles and thorns
One or the other, he kindly warns
Now you look out the window
Tell me, what do you see?
I see a golden calf pointing back at me
I been sitting in here for so darn long
Waitin for the end to come along
Holy roaster on the brink
I take a chance, swim or sink
False witness, cast an evil eye
Said I cannot tell a lie
Incomprehensible and saints dont bother me
Im not alone you see
Dont you say a word
Or reveal a thing youve heard
Time will tell you well
If you truly, truly fell
Tarred and feathered, yeah
Thistles and thorns
One or the other, he kindly warns
Now you look out the window
Tell me what do you see?
I see a golden calf pointing back at me
