Prometheus Blues 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
