The Stand

Oh i have been out searching with the black book in my hand

And i've looked between the lines that lie on the pages that i tread

I met the walking dude,religious, in his wom down cowboy boots

He walked liked no man on earth

I swear he had no name (had no name)

I swear he had no name



Come on down & meet your maker

Come on down & make the stand

Come on down, come on down,

Come on down & make the stand.



As i crawled beneath the searchlights

Looking through the floorboards of this life

I met doctor strangeloves cousin

He bore the marks of time

"hey! trashcan where you going boy

Your eyes are feet apart

Is that the end you're carrying shall i play the funeral march" (play the march)

"play the funeral march"



Come on down & meet your maker

Come on down & make the stand

Come on down, come on down,

Come on down & we'll make the stand.



Come on down & meet your maker

Come on down & make the stand

Come on down, come on down,

Come on down, we'll make the stand.



When i looked out the window

On the hardship that had struck i saw the seven phials open

The plague claimed man and son

Four men at a grave in silence with hats bowed down in grace

A simple wooden cross,

It had no epitaph engraved (it had no)

It had no epitaph engraved.



Come on down & meet your maker

Come on down & make the stand

Come on down, come on down,

Come on and make the stand



Come on down & meet your maker

Come on down & make the stand

Come on down, come on down,

Come on down, & we'll make the stand.
