beneath the tree

everything's been after me

all my life

i just refused to see

take me in from the storm

come and rescue me

under the wings of mother mary

doing wrong is all you know

in the end

do you know where you go?

you can't keep doing what you do

sooner or later

it all comes back to you

you

you

you. ohhhhhh

all my life

everything's been after me

all my life

i just refused to see

take me in from the storm

come and rescue me

under the wings of mother mary

beneath the tree

in this garden full of good

lies a garden full of evil

awaits strange

bizarre

unusual people

here is where

tripping and nobody cares

here is where

the setting sun is never feared

it goes on and on and on

oh

it never ends

it goes on and on and on

welcome my friends. beneath the tree of heaven

lies the horror of the clay

beneath the tree of heaven

come as you please

do as you may

crooked minds

like a crooked tree

never caring where one's branches have been

or where they're gonna be

people so seedy

people so greedy

but in the end

ain't we all a little needy?
