lyrics

On the street last night I had a revelation
Ten thousand people in the crowd
Saw angels walking arm-in-arm through the demonstration
And heard one cry out loud
She said Watch out, watch out
Can’t you hear the war drums starting that old, familiar beat?
Watch out, watch out
A red horse is riding down Main Street
Found myself down by the churchyard
Looking for a cross to bear
Saw an old preacher tendin’ the gravestones
And heard her offer a prayer
I asked her if she knew how this all was gonna end
She said, ‘I read it in a book somewhere’
She said Watch out, watch out
When the spirit of the times walks on cloven feet
Watch out, watch out
A pale horse is riding down Main Street
Woke up on an operating table
The doctor was singing a hymn
I said, tell me doctor, doctor, is it my time to die?
Tell me, the prognosis, is it grim?
Cause I see a fever gripping the people on my TV
And either the fever breaks or it breaks them
She said Watch out, watch out
I see fever burning in the eyes that I meet
Watch out, watch out
A white horse is riding down Main Street
I sat down at my dinner table
Just wanted to break bread with my kin
But all I saw around me were strange hungry faces
And famine where a banquet had been
Curse words had crept into their graces
They said, ‘love thy neighbor is a sin’
See, they’d sat so long in the belly of the beast
They thought they were guests at the feast
And I said Watch out, watch out
Starving souls don’t care what they eat
Watch out, watch out
A black horse is riding down Main Street
