Alex Ebert - Amen

Old Man hypnotized
Spiders with ancient eyes
Black dogs who come in herds
Old Man, the word
Old Man, the word

Raised on golden days
God love the USA
Fed on the purple haze
Young men today
He heard them say
Amen, Amen, Amen

I'll never say goodbye
I'll never tell you lies
I'm never gonna die
Amen, Amen, Amen

Became the power man
Raised on the ocean
His hands, wrinkled brown
Melt with the sound, melt with the sound
Heroes in silver scenes
Real men never scream
Old man I heard you dream
Old man, the sound
Amen, Amen, Amen

Young man's memories
Stay with the summer leaves
Old man, we can not see
Old men decay
Slip slow away
Old man, we'll hold your face
The suns danced for your song
Old man looked around
Heard but the sound
Amen, Amen, Amen

I'll never say goodbye
I'll never tell you lies
I'm never gonna die
Amen, Amen, Amen

Amen, Amen, Amen
