Prometheus Blues

by Sunset Stranger

/

lyrics

If you go looking for a secret place
Or a ticket into hyperspace
The memory of an ancient race
Just might come crashing down

They say it’s all been done before
Like rover tracks on the desert floor
So don’t come knocking on my door
Or you might come crashing down

When the sky itself has split in two
Machines start talking back to you
Billions worth less than a few
You might come crashing down

Buried ‘neath your splintered grace
Shedding skin without a trace
Now I’ve memorised your face
I can come crashing down

There’s nothing left to cling onto
So let somebody be kind to you
And go out dancing by the light of the moon
While it all comes crashing down

Sailing on a western wind
Wishing upon a bottled djinn
To come and take away this sin
Before it all comes crashing down

Drank next to the Irish Sea
Walked back to the monastery
I’ll keep that in my memory
While it all comes crashing down

There’s nothing left to cling onto
So let somebody be kind to you
And go out dancing by the light of the moon
While it all comes crashing down

Nothing here has gone to plan
I spend my days with a travelling band
Now I’m walking through a sacred land
Trying my best to understand

Why kings and queens in every age
Kept songbirds in a golden cage
Singing from a crumbling page
While it all comes crumbling down

So if you go looking for a secret place
Or a ticket into hyperspace
Just remember that an ancient race
Said it might come crashing down
