Don't Cheat The Future
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Over three hundred thousand stars make up our solar system
He'll hang around all night and talk to anyone who'd listen
And lecture you on which ways you're bound to go
The only thing he thinks about, the only thing he needs to know
Is not his time and date and place of birth
But only that he's born in the same galaxy as her
So go over to your girlfriend's and ask her for yourself
'Cause after all you know her better than anyone else
This town's so small it could be built of cardboard boxes
When the walk from you to her
Is the same length that fourteen blocks is
Always chewing on finger nail
Surrender or set sail
It's given with a spoon of sugar but take it with a grain of salt
You can't blame him for dreaming, that cannot be a fault
Always judging books by what's written on the sleeve
Make sure you don't read everything that you believe
He locks his door and turns his head towards the street
Don't try to cheat the future 'cause you're just cheating yourself
Don't try to cheat the future 'cause you're just cheating your...
A jackpot in the lottery, you'll chance meet a handsome stranger
Relying on some prophecy to be your life's rearranger
She's leaving soon so oh you gotta fly
He walks past the church, they're singing El Anamur Ardini
A hymn written in Hebrew, to him it sounds all Greek
Don't try to cheat the future 'cause you're just cheating yourself
Don't try to cheat the future 'cause you're just cheating yourself
Don't try to treat the future like inherited debt or wealth
Don't try to cheat the future 'cause you're just cheating yourself
