Priestess of the Promised Land Lyrics – Stan Ridgway

Priestess of the Promised Land Lyrics by Stan Ridgway

​Ceilings of silver, windows and glass
​Alter is golden, baskets they pass
​She’s got a headache
​So make it all paper today

​People are hungry, helpless and sad
Aimee will make them not feel so bad ​
Then she’ll run off with a lover to old Mexico
As a girl she heard voices in her head

​All those lost souls to be led
By her
Aimee Simple McPherson
Priestess of the Promised Land

​She came to California
Built a temple
Mighty and grand
​Radio angel, she’ll take you there

Past every problem, past every care ​
Choirs will lift them as coins will be
Dropped in the box
​One night she vanished, down by the sea

People were praying this cannot be ​
Rumors were shared in the temple
Until her return
As a girl she heard voices in her head

​All those lost souls to be led
By her
Aimee Simple McPherson
Priestess of the Promised Land

​She came to California
Built a temple
Mighty and grand
