[D]There is a mystic in the mountain, high above the great salt lake
Dancing in the heavens, far below his golden gates
He's [G]looking at our cars be[D]low, l[G]aughing at our rock a[D]nd roll
[D]So I found a little woman, thought that I could change her name
She had the colour of the city and the fire of the country flame
So I[G] hid my body down [D]below, ho[G]ping that my skin wont [Bm]sho[A]w[D]
[G-D/F#-D]
M[D]ystic from the mountain, in the end what did you say wed find
A promise from a pamphlet, a crucifixion on your highway sign
But I so[G]ld you for a c[D]igarette, does[G] it make you want to love me[Bm] le[A]ss
And if I[Bm] dont be[G]lieve. What [A]does that [D]mean?
And w[Bm]hen I die al[G]one, who wi[A]ll eat my [D]soul
In the [G]cave of [D]God, while the a[G]ngels w[D]atch
Theres a man[G]ic screa[D]m, ha[Bm]lle[A]luj[D]ah
Babe I know I lost you, moment you could finally see
The part of me Id hidden, far below our leather seats
If I could make you understand the empty that I tried fill
Id crucify my body, leave the pieces at your mystics heels
But I sold you for a cigarette
I hope youd sell me off for less
And if we dont agree
What does that leave
And when you die alone
I will eat your soul
In the cave of God
While the angels watch
Theres a manic scream hallelujah
