Sept. 15, 1983

Long dinner with some friends

Way out way out in Portmore

Servants of he pharaoh

Slip in through the open door

All business

Bearing knives and zip-guns

So get on the floor now every last one

Every last one



The heat drifts across the land

If I forget Israel

Let me forget my right hand



And on the floor Michael James Williams

Feels his fingers start to freeze

And the whole scene's like a movie

Paramedics on their knees



Try try your whole life

To be righteous and be good

Wind up on your own floor

Choking on blood



The heat drifts across the land

If I forget you Israel

Let me forget my right hand



And the house still smells like onions

When the ambulance arrives

Gabriel in postal blue

Loads up the car and drives to Spanish town

About three miles away

Where will the wicked run to on that last day?



The heat drifts across the land

If I forget you Israel

Let me forget my right hand
