Soothsayer leans up against a wall outside the Temple doors

He's got deep blue eyes and a grin from horn to horn

Greasy hair, salesman smile, burnt orange suit

White patent-leather shoes circa 1974

 Well, he looks over his shoulder at the desperate ones

 And he, he badgers them before they reach the door

 Well, he says, say there sucker, could something so big, so good

 Be as easy as just opening the door?

Kneel down to the system, hail religious grind

 Now jump like a circus dog through my hoops of fire

You won't find a back door to heaven

You won't find a back door to heaven

Soothsayer lights up a holy smoke

 Exhales real big Stings my eyes

 And he said, I can make you work hard for nothing

 Strive in the dirt and even spook you with the Holy Ghost

I can make you walk around the block twice

 just when you wanna go home

 Make you jump like a circus dog through my hoops of fire

You won't find a back door to heaven

You won't find a back door to heaven
