(Paul Simon)

Over the mountain
|
Down in the valley
|
Lives a former talk-show host
|
Everybody knows his name
|
He says there's no doubt about it
|
It was the myth of fingerprints
|
I've seen them all and man
|
They're all the same
|
|
Well, the sun gets weary
|
And the sun goes down
|
Ever since the watermelon
|
And the lights come up
|
On the black pit town
|
Somebody says what's a better thing to do
|
Well, it's not just me
|
And it's not just you
|
This is all around the world
|
|
Out in the Indian Ocean somewhere
|
There's a former army post
|
Abandoned now just like the war
|
And there's no doubt about it
|
It was the myth of fingerprints
|
That's what that old army post was for
|
|
Well, the sun gets bloody
|
And the sun goes down
|
Ever since the watermelon
|
And the lights come up
|
On the black pit town
|
Somebody says what's a better thing to do
|
Well, it's not just me
|
And it's not just you
|
This is all around the world
|
|
Over the mountain
|
Down in the valley
|
Lives the former talk-show host
|
Far and wide his name was known
|
He said there's no doubt about it
|
It was the myth of fingerprints
|
That's why we must learn to live alone
|
