Lyrics[]
As the sun rose up over the sea,
Everyone was singing in a minor key,
Buddhists, Hindus, Jews and Priests,
Gathered around for the jubilee.
Two old ladies they were waitin' on a sign,
Growing better with age like a Yellow Tail wine,
Shoutin' at the junkies in the Court Street light,
"Do the next right thing or the next thing right!"
OH OH
You're a long way from home,
hear me sing
OH OH
People nedd a miracle,
To do the next right thing
Hey heavn' forces and acquire your preachers,
Hey diddle diddle now the fiddle screeches,
Moanin' up the stairs and rollin' in bed,
She been talkin' to God since 2 a.m.
Sayin' "I don't wanna go, I don't wanna die,
But a sister's gotta save her seat in the sky.
You can judge me, grade me shed some light,
Do the next right thing or the next thing right."
OH OH
You're a long way from home,
hear me sing
OH OH
People nedd a miracle,
To do the next right thing
OH OH
You're a long way from home,
hear me sing
OH OH
People nedd a miracle,
To do the next right thing
