"Dime Store Mystery"


	He was lying banged and battered, skewered and bleeding
	talking crippled on the Cross
	Was his mind reeling and heaving hallucinating
	fleeing what a loss

	The things he hadn't touched or kissed his senses
	slowly stripped away
	Not like Buddha not like Vishnu
	life wouldn't rise through him again

	I find it easy to believe
	that he might question his beliefs
	The beginning of the Last Temptation
	Dime Story Mystery

	The duality of nature, Godly nature,
	human nature splits the soul
	Fully human, fully divine and divided
	the great immortal soul

	Split into pieces, whirling pieces, opposites
	attract
	From the front, the side, the back
	the mind itself attacks

	I know the feeling, I know it from before
	descartes through Hegel belief is never sure
	Dime Store Mystery, Last Temptation

	I was sitting drumming thinking thumping pondering
	the Mysteries of Life
	Outside the city shrieking screaming whispering
	the Mysteries of Life

	There's a funeral tomorrow
	at St. Patrick's the bells will ring for you
	Ah, what must you have been thinking
	when you realized the time had come for you

	I wish I hadn't thrown away my time
	on so much Human and so much less Divine
	The end of the Last Temptation
	The end of a Dime Store Mystery
