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
|

Don't Cheat The Future
