Listen. The road to Jericho goes downhill.
That's the first thing. Gravity pulls you toward the bad part of town.
Every step is a small betrayal of your own two feet.
The air down there is heavy. The dust hides the blood.
So it goes.
[Verse 1 | Raspy | Close Mic | Blues Groove]
I saw him before I heard him
a pile of rags and flies
flesh opened like a question nobody bothers to read
The priest lifted his robe
the Levite looked the other way
And me — I shouldn't even be on this road —
I knelt in the dirt.
[Pre-Chorus | Building | Drums Enter]
I thought of my father, my mother,
everyone who ever spat at us,
and my hand shook
Not from fear, from something worse
A choice.
[Chorus | Belted | Full Band | Wide Stereo]
I DON'T PATCH YOU UP BECAUSE I LOVE YOU
I PATCH YOU UP BECAUSE I CAN'T WALK PAST
BECAUSE YOUR BLOOD IS RED LIKE MINE
BECAUSE PAIN DON'T CARRY NO FLAG
IF I LEAVE YOU HERE TODAY
TOMORROW IT'LL BE ME IN THE DUST
AND NOBODY WILL STOP
BECAUSE NOBODY WILL GIVE A DAMN
(so it goes... so it goes...)
[Verse 2 | Storyteller | Guitar Answers]
Loaded him on my donkey
like a child, like a father
Salt and oil on the wounds
burned us both, him and me
Paid money I didn't have
to an innkeeper who looked at me funny
"I'll be back," I said. "I'll be back
even though I know you don't want me here."
[Pre-Chorus | Angry | Rising]
I thought of the easy road,
the road where hate makes sense,
and my hand shook again
Not from rage, from something older
A debt.
[Chorus | Belted | Full Band | Maximum Energy]
I DON'T PATCH YOU UP BECAUSE I LOVE YOU
I PATCH YOU UP BECAUSE I CAN'T WALK PAST
BECAUSE YOUR BLOOD IS RED LIKE MINE
BECAUSE PAIN DON'T CARRY NO FLAG
IF I LEAVE YOU HERE TODAY
TOMORROW IT'LL BE ME IN THE DUST
AND NOBODY WILL STOP
BECAUSE NOBODY WILL GIVE A DAMN
(so it goes... so it goes...)
[Bridge | Guitar Solo | British Blues Boom returns | raw analog fire]
[GUITAR SOLO: blues shred, rapid-fire pentatonic, wah-wah cries,
feedback squeals, building to frenzy]
(so it goes...)
[Final Chorus / Outro | Slowing | Spoken Fade]
Who was the neighbor?
Not the one who prayed
Not the one who sang
But the one who touched an enemy's blood
and found out it was water
So it goes...
So it goes.........
