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 it won't be you   Kind of makes you wonder who   Any sympathetic ear would do   Who's gonna hear them next      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 OK   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      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
