Jericho lyrics

(Tom Johnston)
Well I`m standin` on top of the mountain
Just about a mile from Jericho
And my throat is hot and dusty
Down to the water I must go

Catherine the Great and brave Ulysses
Playin` checkers out in the sun
Jesse James and young William Bonnie
Have started a religion for everyone

And I`m standin` on top of the mountain
Just about a mile from Jericho
And my throat is hot and dusty
Down to the water I must go

Well the drums they are loud down in rap town
But the Pope has been quiet for days
Well some gunmen robbed a bank in California
And the cops blew them all away

If you don`t like the picture
Don`t turn it off
The only way to change it is to do it yourself

And I`m standin` on top of the mountain
Just about a mile from Jericho
And my throat is hot and dusty
Down to the water I must go

Peace and love on the wings of a dove
Has flown away
We`re payin` the rent
On the blood that`s been spent
On a mortgage that`s too high to be paid

Well I`m standin` on top of the mountain
Just about a mile from Jericho
And my throat is hot and dusty
down to the water I must go

And I`m standin` on top of the mountain
Just about a mile from Jericho
And my throat is hot and dusty
Down to the water I must go
