Joan Baez

(A. Ray)
Welcome me to The City of Angels
Devil prophets still hold my hand
I walked your stillborn streets for hours
Ethnic echoes spitting out their trials
They tell me Ill
Ill be the first to praise the sun
The first to praise the moon
The first to hold the lone coyote
Last to set it free
Welcome me to a haven given
Oh, its well received into my open arms
Oh, I, I ran in my sleep through shaking tremors
I felt the splitting earth echoing in my ears
And I feel it all
Ill be the first to praise the sun
The first to praise the moon
The first to hold the lone coyote
The last to set it free
Welcome me to your City of Angels
Theres a Devil monkey laying on our backs
Now tell me, wheres the heart? Wheres the bullet for breaking?
Whos gonna give me a weapon, a pacifying weapon?
An I need it all
Ill be the first to praise the sun
The first to praise the moon, oh
The first to hold the lone coyote
The last to set it free
I said, I said, "Welcome me"
Ill be the first to praise the sun
The first to praise the moon, oh
The first to hold the lone coyote
The last to set it free
I said, "Welcome me"
