Like an Inca
Said the condorto the preying mantisWe're gonna lose this placejust like we lost AtlantisBrother we got to gosooner than you knowThe Gypsy told my fortune,she said that nothin' showed.
Who put the bombon the sacred altar?Why should we dieif it comes our way?Why should we careabout a little buttonBeing pushed by someonewe don't even know?
Well. I wish I was an Aztec,Or a runner in PeruI would build suchbeautiful buildingsTo house the chosen fewLike an Inca from Peru.
If you want to get high,build a strong foundationSink those pylons deep nowand reach for the skyIf you want to get lostin the jungle rhythmGet down on the groundand pretend you're swimmin'.
If you want to put icein the lava riverFirst you must climb,then you must stand and shiverBrother we got to gosooner than you knowThe Gypsy told my fortune,the Gypsy told my fortune,The Gypsy told my fortune,she said that nothing showed
Well I wish I was an Aztec,Or a runner in PeruI would buildsuch beautiful buildingsTo house the chosen fewLike an Inca from Peru.

I feel sad, but I feel happyAs I'm coming back to homeThere's a bridge across the riverThat I have to cross aloneLike a skipping rolling stoneLike an Inca.
