From the recording Nostradamus Famous Cherry Jam
Lyrics
Have you heard the one about Eli and the Mountain? It shook and growled
but Eli was unmoved
He lost his wife of 40 years to some infernal plague
And there’s no more harm the outside world could do
The world said
“Eli, get off that mountain”
Don’t you see the hillside start to fizz
If I leave I will die anyway
He chucked to himself
I wanna see just how tough that Mountain is
At 3:03 the top came off the mountain
God himself looked away and closed his eyes For 40 days the sky was black
But when the darkness passed
They had to see if Eli had survived
Have you seen the show
about Eli and the Mountain?
They are the stars of documentaries
The mountain took out everything for over 20 miles But Eli’s untouched house was still standing
A Freshly painted radiating palace
With a garden that’d been neatly manicured But there was no trace of Eli
just his wedding ring remained
The sink was on
the animals secured
Some people think that Eli beat the mountain
That death had said come here, and he said no
And he rose up like Elijah with his wife right by his side Well, that’s the way the movie says it goes
The odds are Eli died upon that mountain
He wasn’t found cause he was vaporized
But the mystery remains of how his house stands to this day It’s the wonder that helps keep a man alive
Have you heard the song about Eli and the Mountain?
