Look down - look down
That lonesome road
Before you travel on

Look up - look up
And seek your maker
Before (Mr.) Gabriel blows his horn
                                                                            

Your charms have broken many a heart and mine is surely one
You got a way of tearing a world apart, love, see what you done
Just as sure as we're living, just as sure as you're born
Look up, look up - seek your Maker - 'fore Gabriel blows his horn
