I keep thinking that you are going to change • I keep thinking that you are going to rearrange • But I’m a fool to think something so impossible • You ain’t ever gonna change • You ain’t ever gonna change • Oh no Jericho • Until I blow •
I keep thinking that you are going to rise • I keep thinking that you are going to compromise • But I’m a fool to think something so improbable • You ain’t ever gonna rise • You ain’t ever gonna rise • Oh no Jericho • Until I take you by surprise •
Baby I know that you’re too sad to cry • But my little darling guess what? So am I • Still I believe we ought to shed a tear • The open hearted have nothing to fear • But I don’t even think you hear me at all • Under your medieval ceiling behind your biblical wall • Guess I’ll have to put my trumpet back in the case • And get behind this here canon covered in lace • Covered in lace •
I keep thinking that you are going to change • I keep thinking that you are going to rearrange • But I’m a fool to think something so impossible • You ain’t ever gonna change • You ain’t ever gonna change • Oh no Jericho • Until I blow • Until I blow
