OURSELVES TO KNOW
(c) 1999 Warren Zevon

We left Constantinople
In a thousand ninety-nine
To restore the one true cross
Was in his heart and mine
And to bring it to Jerusalem
And then sail home to Rhodes
We took that holy ride ourselves to know
We took that holy ride ourselves to know

Everyone got famous
Everyone got rich
Everyone went off the rails and ended in the ditch
But we had to take that long, hard road
To see where it would go
Yeah, we took that holy ride ourselves to know
We took that holy ride ourselves to know

Now if you make a pilgrimage
I hope you'll find your Grail
Be loyal to the ones you leave with
Even if you fail
And be chivalrous to strangers you meet along the road
As you take that holy ride yourselves to know
As you take that holy ride yourselves to know
