Lyrics

Evangelista

041821- April 18, 2021

Verse 1:

You took a trip on the interstate
You hitched yourself a ride
You faced the sun behind darkened glasses
Until the moon was high

You wandered around and got lost in the desert
You took a leave of your mind
You sat poolside in a plastic cabana
Left your world behind

Refrain:
I searched around but I could never find you
A place that only you know
I watched the seasons pile up behind you
The Wind Rain and Snow

Verse 2:

You reached out to the hand of strangers
And Let them steal from you
You left behind a few tattered possessions
And left your prayers in the pew

You called yourself an Evangelista
And headed out to the streets
You passed the bread out to the down and outers
You made a flock of the sheep

refrain:
I got the cryptic notes that you sometimes sent me
You didn’t try to explain
I sent a rescue ship to try to help you
To bring you out of the rain

Chorus:
Then you’re here and then you’re gone
They’re just Words for a song

Verse 3:

You put your mind on the elevator
And rode it up and down
You got the view from Twenty Two
Then crashed it back to the ground

You left a mess for the others around you
As you snuck out the back door
You tugged a wagon to the top of the hill
And then you went back for more

Refrain:

You took advice from the fools around you
And yet what did they know?
You played the Guru to the lost and misguided
Beneath a mountain of snow

And I’ve waited for you
What else can I do
Must be cause I love you
(Signs come into view)

You got a cure for my reservations
You got a cure for my reservations

Verse 4

You ran away from the big generator
And left your shoes in the street
You’re looking out for number one
You’re pulling glass from your feet

You walked away from the institution
“They’ll never understand”
I picked you up from the side of the road
You slapped away my hand

Refrain:

You parked your ass in the middle of nowhere
And sent an SOS
You want a bottle and a cold burrito
And some cigarettes

And I came down for you
I always came through
I buried the feud
I reached out to you

I waited. I waited.

(Musical interlude)

And Then you’re here and then you’re gone,
Just words for a song,
Tell me: Where did I go wrong?
They’re just words for a song

You got the cure for it
You got the cure for it





I got the cryptic notes you sometimes sent me
You know you didn’t try to explain
I sent a rescue ship to try to help you
To bring you out, out of the rain



You got the cure for it,
you got the cure for it…

You got the cure for my reservations


You walked away from the institutions
“They’ll never understand”
Picked you up from the side of the road
You slapped away my hand

I got the cure for that
You got a cure for that
Evangelista
I got the cure for that
You got the cure for that
Evangelista
I got the cure for that
You got the cure for that
Evangelista
I got the cure for that
See you, goodbye
