Jeroboam Songtext
von Branches

Jeroboam dreamed a golden dream
Of golden lands and golden things
And ivory-colored feathered wings, wings, wings
Voices in the honey breeze
Pushing on the honey bees
And shaping beds from fallen leaves, leaves, leaves

The writer showed him all of these
And filled his nose with pretty things
And let him taste of Eden′s trees, trees, trees, trees


But in the light came a warring sound
Of greedy blood on hallowed ground
Jeroboam and his heavy eyes
Made a civil war inside
His tongue stuck stiff behind his teeth
His voice got tangled in his grief
And Jeroboam made a thief
And Jeroboam made a thief, thief, thief, thief

So the writer penned him a different tale
Where proud get caught in homemade sails
And crave the jewels on the wedding band, band, band
Jeroboam cried for more
Clutching at the temple torn
The writer filled his hands with swords, swords, swords

So arm yourselves with empty hands
When looking at the promised land
And find yourself a wealthy man
