"Man Down from Silver Mountain"
by Harry Johnquest
(to the tune of "Man on the Silver Mountain" by Ronnie James Dio and performed by Richie Blackmore's Rainbow)
'Nana peel, slippery feel,
Like a Britney Spears' reel,
In space---I free-fall turning.
I can't run, I'm undone.
By this bailout I am stung,
My head and stomach churning.
Send out a wire.
I fell into the mire.
Someone's screaming, "Catch this."
God, please help me out of this mess.
M-m-man down from Silver Mountain.
I fell down from the Silver Mountain.
Climb all day, on my way,
Who knew I'd go astray?!
Big buzzards block out my view.
In the night, "yikes," they bite,
In fear my feet take flight.
Should have packed the parachute.
Save me from desire
From more things to acquire.
Someone's screaming, "Catch this."
God, please help me out of this mess.
[Guitar]
Send down a wire.
I fell into the mire.
Someone's screaming, "Catch this."
God, please get me out of this mess.
M-m-man down from Silver Mountain.
I fell down from the Silver Mountain.
"In God We Trust" now listen.
I'm a man, a man who fell in quicksand.
Underwrite this acolyte.
Or I'll be out of sight.
M-m-man down from Silver Mountain.
I fell down from the Silver Mountain.
Don't look at me, I have no plan.
I'm a man, a man who fell in quicksand.
M-m-man down from Silver Mountain.
