Bm F#m A Bm F#m A
Soothsayer leans up against a wall outside the Temple doors
Bm F#m A Bm F#m A
He's got deep blue eyes and a grin from horn to horn
Bm F#m A Bm F#m A
Greasy hair, salesman smile, burnt orange suit
Bm F#m A Bm F#m A
White patent-leather shoes circa 1974
Bm F#m A Bm F#m A
Well, he looks over his shoulder at the desperate ones
Bm F#m A Bm F#m A
And he, he badgers them before they reach the door
Bm F#m A Bm F#m A
Well, he says, say there sucker, could something so big, so good
Bm F#m A A
Be as easy as just opening the door?
D A D A D A
Kneel down to the system, hail religious grind
D A
Now jump like a circus dog through my hoops of fire
Em G D A
You won't find a back door to heaven
Em G D A
You won't find a back door to heaven
Bm F#m A Bm F#m A
Soothsayer lights up a holy smoke
Bm F#m A Bm F#m A
Exhales real big Stings my eyes
Bm F#m A Bm F#m A
And he said, I can make you work hard for nothing
Bm F#m A A
Strive in the dirt and even spook you with the Holy Ghost
D A D A
I can make you walk around the block twice
D A
just when you wanna go home
D A
Make you jump like a circus dog through my hoops of fire
Em G D A
You won't find a back door to heaven
Em G D A
You won't find a back door to heaven
