 Dorororororo rorororo Do doro do ro ro roro rorororo

Lord, today there is no salvation, the band packed up and gone

Left me standing with my penny in my hand

 There’s a big crowd at the station where the blind man sings his songs

But he can see what they can’t, understand.

Chorus

 It’s the thirty-third of August and I’m finally touching down

Eight days from Sunday finds me Saturday bound

Once I stumbled through the darkness, tumbled to my knees

A thousand voices screaming in my brain

Woke up in a squad car busted down for vagrancy

Outside my cell as sure as hell it looked like rain

But now I’ve put my dangerous feelings under lock and chain

Yes, I killed my violent nature with a smile

Though the demons danced and sung their songs within my fevered brain

Not all my God-like thoughts Lord were defiled
