"Rings and Things"

Days following days,
Sun following sunshine
And the tangled vine is dying.
Eyes watching the skies,
Lies cover the eyes
And the tangled vine is dying
And everyone is crying.

Oh, rings and things and silver wings
That the medicine man is selling.
Oh, King of Kings with drown the screams
And the Spirit's gonna do the telling.

Seed following seed,
He watches it bleed
And the tangled vine is dying.
[ Run, see how we run,
Life, there's only one
And the tangled vine is dying ]
And everyone is crying.
