Like An Inca |
| 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. |
