| A thousand times a prophet
|
| A New York City prophet
|
| They lie there all forgotten
|
| I wonder who will hear them next
|
| Well it won’t be me and it won’t be you
|
| Kind of makes you wonder who
|
| Any sympathetic ear would do
|
| Who’s gonna hear them next?
|
| Well, lie prophet lie
|
| For the sky is much too high
|
| Keep it in your eye
|
| And memorize the moon
|
| Dream prophet dream
|
| Don’t you listen to them scream
|
| We know they didn’t hear you yet
|
| But you’re bound to get there soon
|
| What do you think we’d hear them say?
|
| Would they drop down on their knees and pray?
|
| Would they tell us that it’s all okay?
|
| Who do you think will ease their pain?
|
| And if we dare to listen
|
| As the tears freeze up and glisten
|
| With the current savior risen
|
| Who do you think will ease their pain?
|
| Lie prophet lie
|
| For the sky is much too high
|
| Keep it in your eye
|
| And memorize the moon
|
| Dream prophet dream
|
| Don’t you listen to them scream
|
| We know they didn’t hear you yet
|
| But you’re bound to get there soon
|
| What will our mighty future be?
|
| For there ain’t no prophet here to see
|
| That narrows it down to you and me
|
| Do you want to live or die?
|
| Well we’ve chosen death with its toll begun
|
| You know, I’ve always pictured life more fun
|
| Too bad we couldn’t ever act as one
|
| Do you want to live or die?
|
| Well, lie prophet lie
|
| For the sky is much too high
|
| Keep it in your eye
|
| And memorize the moon
|
| Dream prophet dream
|
| Don’t you listen to them scream
|
| We know they didn’t hear you yet
|
| But you’re bound to get there soon |
