pariah Lyrics

You best lock up the horses

Go put the harvest away

Look over yonder here come that addled boy

From down the road again

People say he take a mule kick

Get him right upside the head

Come intervention some zombie voodoo

Make him more alive than dead

They call him pariah

Because he makes them strange

They call him pariah

Such a fine fine line

Between delightful and deranged

He see in Panavision

He hear in phonograph

Sometimes he pull his own head off

To make the children laugh and laugh

They call him pariah

Cause it defines his place

They call him pariah

They don't know

He resigned from the human race

They think he's dumb and blind and likely lame

In a world where most everybody built the same

he the unmutual the party to blame

They think he's dumb and blind and likely lame

They take the boy out to Lazarus

The town folk watch and await

One and all come to witness

This failure to reanimate

Leaves the wise men in confusion

Wring their hands and shake their heads

Not all your prophets come to save you

Some are just self-absorbed instead

Cause he communicates in code you'll never break

A tool of the universe out of your range

An emissary from the other side of strange

They think he's dumb and blind and likely lame

Call him pariah
