so said dear old moses chained to a rod and staff,
"i haven't seen a miracle since john the baptist's last."
so said john the baptist, "i am half way to the sun.
could someone work a miracle? so soon we'll all be gone."
oh how strange
oh how strange
the world has gone
goes on and on
so said i to cain, "we do look so much alike.
in my jealous hallelujahs there's a sun that never shines."
then pilate said to mary, "i'm so sorry for your son;
but, this all made me a millionaire. they love the sight of blood."
oh how strange
oh how strange
the world has gone
goes on and on
so said i to someone "i've got such a crooked tongue;
but, it doesn't matter to me if you like what i have done,
cause it's oh so strange."
oh how strange
the world has gone
goes on and on
on and on
