Time is a menstruous woman; one cannot control her eddying currents. Herod did not appear, and so the innkeeper's hours dragged like the ox, fast against his yoke. So much to do, but like the ox, he is stubborn and clings like a child to his dream. (Just a dream.) But who can fill an inn with dreams? For a panther may love the ape, yet despite their efforts, they will never produce issue.Looks like my star has gone out tonightI feel so small, now she's goneShe was right and I was wrongOld King H. ain't gonna showChrist, any fool would knowI think about her in my mindWanna touch her all the timeWhen I pray to God aboveEven when I'm making loveI thought I could trust you, thought I could count on you, lordNow I feel cheated, used up and misleaded, lordBut you hold the cards, you stack the deckYou roll the dice, I'm at your beck and callLike it or not, you call the shotsYou made the world, so fair enough, lord(Like it or not, he calls the shotsHe made the world)That's all I got, lordBack-talking, street-walking, mumbo and jiveI don't think I'll get out of this town aliveI'm just a man and I'll do what I canMaking my way down in BethlehemBook-flicking, song-singing, chapter and bellI don't understand you, god, my life is hellI ask for salvation, you show me no liesAlways on my case, man, wind me some timeIt's just mumbo and jive, it's just mumbo and jiveRunning an inn is just mumbo and jive, it's just--Lord, I am down on my kneesPlease save me, deliver mePlease answer one inquiryWho? When? What? How? And why?
