lyrics

Caesar Spoke
©Jerry Axson

Forty days wrecked in the canyon bed,
I took a wafer for my soul and a stitch to the head,
fell in love with a nurse that rescued me,
she saved my soul from an eternity of –
damned if I do and damned if I don’t,
maybe I will and maybe I won’t,
wake up in the morning with a crown on my head,
all hail Caesar now the other guy’s dead…
it’s all so clear to me –
it feels so right –
as soon as the morning breaks,
I will pass through this night,
of trials and tribulations,
pleasure and pain,
untold loss and a - a whole lot to gain…
a whole lot to gain…

So all Hail Caesar in this big empty hall,
I got a fist full of courage but I feel so small,
nobody came to see my one neat trick -
a snakes tail shaking at the end of a stick,
I guess everyone knows and the kings been made,
they’re waiting in the shadows with those long blades,
started out Hemingway but the way this goes –
I’m ending up knee deep in Edgar Allen Poe…
it’s all so serious –
it’s all so surreal -
I’m afraid to turn around,
and I don’t know what to feel,
about this weight on my shoulders,
and my kingdom come –
Caesar spoke and the whole, wide, world went numb…
it all went numb…

And it’s all so serious –
it’s all so surreal -
I’m afraid to turn around,
and I don’t know how I feel,
about this weight on my shoulders,
and my kingdom come –
Caesar spoke and the whole, wide, world went numb…
it all went numb…

about

Jerry Axson Columbia, South Carolina

To me simplicity is the root of all great thoughts. The secret thrill for me, the architect, is delivering that thought with unobtrusive complexity. Writing songs and composing music satisfy my soul and because of this I know exactly what I am designed to do, it’s just that simple. - Jerry Axson ... more
