Son of a Prophet Lyrics

All your hangers on

Watch with anxious eyes

Watch your mouth to speak

Words mystic and wise



Can you explain away

Everything that I know to be true?

Will you flinch if I criticize anything about you

Anything about you?



Wash your nervous hands

Speak and only lie

Dismiss distances

Between you and I



Can you explain away

Everything that I know to be true?

Will you flinch if I criticize anything about you

Anything about you, anything about you?



Preacher's only son

Wise man's only tie

Scorned by anyone

With an evil eye
