Mirage

lyrics

Oh those pearly gates kept out the demons in my mind
And the promise of redemption helped me to tow the line
Oh sister you get out your wine and pass it round
Cause there ain't such a thing as holy ground

Oh when I was a young boy I read the verse
And I prayed for the sinner in the back of the big black hearse
Oh brother you just live your life and live it well
Cause there ain't no heaven and there ain't no hell

A mirage a mirage
My eyes have fooled me once before
I thought I saw the light
I thought my soul’d be safe for sure

A mirage a mirage
Oh that island in the stream
But there ain't no eternal paradise
Its just a dream

A mirage a mirage
In that desert of despair
I closed my eyes to look again
But there was nothin there

Oh I ain't savin happiness for when I die
Cause there ain't no palace waitin for me up there in the sky
Oh sister you don't wait around for better days
You’re the only one can save your soul now anyways

Oh I used to fear the devil and his lake of fire
So I sang the hymns and songs along with the choir
But brother we’re a singin all our own songs now
Cause that ain't no virgin mary up there in the clouds
