i`m feeling very moses like
you think that i could lead you?
or humble, more like david
would you help me cause i need you?
or i`ll be charismatic
with the power to persuade you
supposing i`m a saviour
or a drunkard, or your highness
you slither in these sheets
and then you ask me for forgiveness
i`ll tell you parables of making love
and spreading kindness
flames rise like butterflies
been frightened by my stompin`
i`m laughing `cause they don`t know who i am
the philistines toss tangerines
`cause springtime is for dancing
in like a lion and out like a lamb
goliath sits and watches
tired of this investigation
so children grab your M-16s
and load your ammunition
i will work all night
rewrite the book of revelations
flames rise like butterflies
been frightened by my stompin`
i`m laughing `cause they don`t know who i am
the philistines toss tangerines
`cause springtime is for dancing
in like a lion and out like a lamb
now go and tune your guitars
and i`ll meet you here tomorrow
grab that case of scotch
it`s all the courage you can swallow
i`ll burn for all your sins
but i`m expecting you to follow
flames rise like butterflies
been frightened by my stompin`
i`m laughing `cause they don`t know who i am
the philistines load magazines
`cause springtime is for dancing
in like a lion and out like a lamb
