Over three hundred thousand stars make up our solar system   He'll hang around all night and talk to anyone who'd listen   And lecture you on which ways you're bound to go    The only thing he thinks about, the only thing he needs to know   Is not his time and date and place of birth   But only that he's born in the same galaxy as her      So go over to your girlfriend's and ask her for yourself   'Cause after all you know her better than anyone else   This town's so small it could be built of cardboard boxes   When the walk from you to her   Is the same length that fourteen blocks is      Always chewing on finger nail   Surrender or set sail      It's given with a spoon of sugar but take it with a grain of salt   You can't blame him for dreaming, that cannot be a fault   Always judging books by what's written on the sleeve   Make sure you don't read everything that you believe   He locks his door and turns his head towards the street   Don't try to cheat the future 'cause you're just cheating yourself   Don't try to cheat the future 'cause you're just cheating your...      A jackpot in the lottery, you'll chance meet a handsome stranger   Relying on some prophecy to be your life's rearranger   She's leaving soon so oh you gotta fly   He walks past the church, they're singing El Anamur Ardini   A hymn written in Hebrew, to him it sounds all Greek   Don't try to cheat the future 'cause you're just cheating yourself   Don't try to cheat the future 'cause you're just cheating yourself   Don't try to treat the future like inherited debt or wealth   Don't try to cheat the future 'cause you're just cheating yourself
