The Tale Lyrics

Only the rain man knows the answer

To the riddle who should come last

Watching from the parapets

Seeing the fire rain down on those below

Yes it's a tale told by a savant

To a death mute travelling alone

Where to now only heaven knows

All the things we didn't do are coming home to roost

When you have got it you're supposed to flaunt it

I'm not sure this is what they meant by that

Yes it's a tale told by a savant

To a death mute travelling alone

Where was it when I last put it down

I know I had something in my hand just now

Could it be the thing I was looking for

And what are all these people doing lying on the floor

Yes it's a tale told by a savant

To a death mute travelling alone
