D Bm Long dinner with some friendsD Bm Way out way out in PortmoreD Bm Servants of he pharaohG A Slip in through the open doorD Bm All businessD Bm Bearing knives and zip-gunsD Bm So get on the floor nowG A Every last one every last oneContinues after the adG A D The heat drifts across the landBm A GG A If I forget IsraelD Bm A G Let me forget my right hand (continue this pattern) 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
