NEIL YOUNG - Like An Inca lyrics

rate me

Said the condor to the preying mantis We're gonna lose this place just like we lost Atlantis Brother we got to go sooner than you know The Gypsy told my fortune, she said that nothin' showed. Who put the bomb on the sacred altar? Why should we die if it comes our way? Why should we care about a little button Being pushed by someone we don't even know? Well. I wish I was an Aztec, Or a runner in Peru I would build such beautiful buildings To house the chosen few Like an Inca from Peru. If you want to get high, build a strong foundation Sink those pylons deep now and reach for the sky If you want to get lost in the jungle rhythm Get down on the ground and pretend you're swimmin'. If you want to put ice in the lava river First you must climb, then you must stand and shiver Brother we got to go sooner than you know The 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 Peru I would build such beautiful buildings To house the chosen few Like an Inca from Peru. Said the condor to the preying mantis We're gonna lose this place just like we lost Atlantis Brother we got to go sooner than you know The Gypsy told my fortune, the Gypsy told my fortune, The Gypsy told my fortune, she said that nothin' showed. Who put the bomb on the sacred altar? Why should we die if it comes our way? Why should we care about a little button Being pushed by someone we don't even know? Well. I wish I was an Aztec, Or a runner in Peru I would build such beautiful buildings To house the chosen few Like an Inca from Peru. I feel sad, but I feel happy As I'm coming back to home There's a bridge across the river That I have to cross alone Like a skipping rolling stone Like an Inca.
