Pilgrimage (Live In Toronto 1983) Lyrics

[Intro]
This is kind of a travel one

[Verse 1]
They called the clip
A two-headed cow
Your hate, clipped and distant
Your luck with pilgrimage
Rest assured, this will not last
Take a turn for the worst
Your hate, clipped and distant
Your luck, a two-headed cow

[Chorus]
The pilgrimage
Has gained momentum
Take your turn
Take a turn
Take a fortune
Take a fortune

[Verse 2]
Speak in tongues
It's worth a broken lip
Your hate, clipped and distant
Your luck with pilgrimage
Rest assured, this will not last
Take a turn for the worst
Your hate, clipped and distant
Your luck, a two-headed cow
[Chorus]
The pilgrimage
Has gained momentum
Take a turn (Take a turn)
Take your turn (Take a turn)
Take a fortune (Take a turn)
Take a fortune

[Bridge]
(Ah-ha) Pilgrimage
(Ah-ha) Pilgrimage

[Verse 3]
Speak in tongues
It's worth a broken lip
Your hate, clipped and distant
Your luck ch- changed
Rest assured, this will not last
Take a turn for the worst
Your hate, clipped and distant
Your luck is two-headed

[Chorus]
The pilgrimage
Has gained momentum
Take a turn (Take a turn)
Take your turn (Take a turn)
Take a fortune (Take a turn)
Take your fortune
[Bridge]
(Ah) Pilgrimage
(Ah) Pilgrimage

[Chorus]
Pilgrimage
Has gained momentum
Take your turn (Take a turn)
Take your turn (Take a turn)
Take your fortune (Take a turn)
Take your fortune (Take a turn)
Take your turn (Take a turn)
Take your turn (Take a turn)
Take your fortune (Take a turn)
Take your fortune

[Outro]
Thanks
Well
("There She Goes")
Okay, we'll do it right now
