Song playing in the occupied petrol station in Holly White's computer game 'Leaving Biosphere 2'
lyrics
Your ass could see the outline of the angel:
A feather and a whisper and a knife edge
But you didn’t see the angel that was standing in your way
You didn’t trust your ass, only your head
Well I’m that angel, Balaam!
heed your ass!
I won’t let you travel
you can’t pass!
Not ‘til you see
What your mule sees
What you’re missing
are you going to listen?!
You didn’t heed the warning you were given
I glittered like a hook held above you
You didn’t think an animal could teach you how to see
that dumb beasts were only here to serve you
Well I’m that beast of burden
brought to song!
I lay down to show you
what was wrong
Now can you feel
What your ass feels?
What you’re missing
boy you’re going to listen!
Believe your ass, Balaam!
And your eyes will see
Free your ass, Balaam!
And you’ll be free
