Holy City" is an Amy Ray song that dates back at least as far as
"Blue Food." It has been performed fairly often, as late as the
beginning of 1990 - probably even more recently. It occasionally
features the flute accompaniment of Anne Richardson, to great effect.
Holy City.
I want to live in a holy city
I want to drink from a holy vine
I want to be where the people are pretty
Just because they feel it deep down inside
Chorus:
I don't want to wait for heaven
I can find what I need right here on earth this time
Too many people hold the way for heaven
If you can't feel it here, you won't feel it there anyway.
I want to live in a stained glass window
I want to change light to day
I want to have the sun shining through me
Causing my existence in every way
Chorus
I want to live in a heart of love
I want to swim in a mind of peace
I want to be your emotional outlet
I want to be love's sweet release
I'm gonna build me a holy city
I'm gonna drink from a holy, holy vine
I'm gonna be where the people are pretty
Because they feel it deep down inside
Chorus
