Sept 15th 1983 The Mountain Goats
[D]Long dinner with some friends[Bm]
[D]Way out way out in Portmore[Bm]
[D]Servants of he pharaoh [Bm]
[G]Slip in through the open doo[A]r
All busin[D]ess[Bm]
[D]Bearing knives and zip-guns[Bm]
[D]So get on the floor now [Bm]
[G]Every last one every last[A] one
[G]The heat drifts [A]across the l[D]and[Bm] [A] [G]
[G]If I forget [A]Israel
[D]Let me forget [Bm]my [A]right [G]hand
(continue this pattern)
And on the floor Michael James Williams
Feels his fingers start to freeze
And the whole scene's like a movie
Paramedics on their knees
Try try your whole life
To be righteous and be good
Wind up on your own floor
Choking on blood
The heat drifts across the land
If I forget you Israel
Let me forget my right hand
And the house still smells like onions
When the ambulance arrives
Gabriel in postal blue
Loads up the car and drives to Spanish town
About three miles away
Where will the wicked run to on that last day?
The heat drifts across the land
If I forget you Israel
Let me forget my right hand
