A Prophet in My Own Land Lyrics

I'm a bottle top in a junkyard mountain

I'm a drop of water in the Buckingham Fountain

I'm a paper bag at a Cut Rate Liquors

I'm an old sun faded bumpersticker

I'm just a prophet in my own land

I'm a prophet in my own land

I've been above the surface

Down below sea level

I've spoken with the angels

Brushed shoulders with the devil

But just a prophet in my own land

I'm a prophet in my own land

I've been around the world

Had my fortune told by cards

Witnessed love in the Holy Land

But I can't get out my backyard

Can't get out my backyard

'Cause I'm a prophet in my own land

Washed up grain on a beach of sand

I'm a no one I'm an everyman

I'm a prophet in my own land

I'm a prophet in my own land

Washed up grain on a beach of sand

I'm a no one I'm an everyman

I'm a prophet in my own land

I'm the morning news stuck in the printer

I'm skitching home in the middle of winter

Hey son can I give you a hand

I say no no no no no you don't understand

I'm a prophet in my own land

Washed up grain on a beach of sand

I'm a no one I'm an everyman

I'm a prophet in my own land

I'm a prophet in my own land

Washed up grain on a beach of sand

I'm a no one I'm an everyman

I'm a prophet in my own land

I'm a bottle top in a junkyard mountain

I'm a drop of water in the Buckingham fountain

I'm the morning news stuck in the printer

I'm a skitching home in the middle of winter

I'm a raincoat on a rainy day

Someone please chase these clouds away

I'm a streetlight on Broadway

I wanna go but I gotta stay

I'm a howling wolf on a mountain chain

A crazyspill without a stain

I'm a pothole in a city street

Un semaforo a Napoli

I say hey now I think you know what I mean

I'm a prophet in my own land
