Man you should have seen me way back then

I could tell a tale I could make it spin

I could tell you black was white

I could tell you day was night

Not only that I could tell you why

Back then I could really tell a lie

When I'd hire a kid to say that he was lame

Then I'd touch him and make him walk again

I'd pull some magic trick

I'd pretend to heal the sick

I was takin' everything they had to give

It wasn't all that bad a way to live

Well I'm in this desert town and it's hot as hell

But no one's buyin' what I got to sell

I can make my lame kid walk

I can make my dumb guy talk

I'm preachin' up a storm both night and day

Everyone just turns and walks away

Well I can see I'm only wasting time

So I head across the road to drink some wine

This old man comes up to me

He says I've seen you on the street

And you're pretty good if I do say so myself

But the guy comes through last month

He was somethin' else

Instead of callin' down fire from above

He just gets real quiet and talks of love

And I'll tell you somethin' funny

He didn't want nobody's money

I'm not exactly sure

What all this means

But it's the damnest thing

I swear I've ever seen

Oh well since that time every town is the same

Can't make a dime don't know why I came

I decided I'll go and find him

And I'll find out who's behind him

He's got everyone convinced that he's for real

Well I figure we can work some kind of deal

Well he offers me a job and I say fine

He says I'll get paid off on down the line

Well I guess I'll string along

Don't see how much could go wrong

As long as he pays my way I guess I'll follow

We're headed for Jerusalem tomorrow
