Keep Your Scales Level

[Verse 1]
All the organized religions, all the brigadiers of war
Couldn't have prepared me for the moment when he walked through the door
His jewel-studded pantsuit, from his head to toe
And in all that grandeur, I recognized his hello

[Chorus]
He said, "How long must we travel
Until we reach our final destination?"
He said, "Keep your scales level
And pay, pay, pay, p-p-p-pay"

[Verse 2]
This is not where I belong
I was born to sing these songs
I had a house, had a wife
Had a kid, had such a life
Had a mistress just for poon
Kept her hidden in the Jungle Room
And in the blink of an eye
That all changed and I asked why

[Chorus]
He said, "How long must we travel
Until we reach our final destination?"
He said, "Keep your scales level
And pay, pay, pay, p-p-p-pay"

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
My legs shook like ribbons, like two ribbons in the wind
Dirt and flesh and rubble was falling off of him
I summoned up my courage in the presence of the King
And asked him one question that always bothered me

[Chorus]
He said, "How long must we travel
Until we reach our finest destination?"
He said, "Keep your scales level
And pay, pay, pay, p-p-p-pay"
"How long must we travel
Until we reach our finest destination?"
He said, "Keep your scales level
And pay, pay, pay, p-p-p-pay"
