James Taylor - Home By Another Way Lyrics
Those magic men the magiSome people call them wiseOr oriental, even kingsWell anyway, those guysThey visited with jesusThey sure enjoyed their stayThen warned in a dream of king herods schemeThey went home by another wayYes they went home by another wayHome by another wayMaybe me and you can be wise guys tooAnd go home by another wayWe can make it another waySafe home as they used to sayKeep a weather eye to the chart on highAnd go home another waySteer clear of royal welcomesAvoid a big to-doA king who would slaughter the innocentsWill not cut a deal for youHe really, really wants those presentsHell comb your camels furUntil his boys announce theyve found trace amountsOf your frankincense, gold and myrthTime to go home by another wayHome by another wayYou have to figure the gods saying play the oddsAnd go home by another wayWe can make it another waySafe home as they used to sayKeep a weather eye to the chart on highAnd go home another wayHome is where they want you nowYou can more or less assume that youll be welcome in the endMustnt let king herod haunt you soOr fantasize his features when youre looking at a friendWell it pleasures me to be hereAnd to sing this song tonightThey tell me that life is a miracleAnd I figured that theyre rightBut herods always out thereHes got our cards on fileIts a lead pipe cinch, if we give an inchOld herod likes to take a mileIts best to go home by another wayHome by another wayWe got this far to a lucky starBut tomorrow is another dayWe can make it another waySafe home as they used to sayKeep a weather eye to the chart on highAnd go home another way
