There is a man with a telescope
He's in the trade of 'Peace & Dope'
He's pointing at a house up in the hills

It's brand new times for the mission bell
The word is out - he found the well
Bottle up - bottle up to sell

The night is strangely bright
This cavalcade of convenient lies
Count them under starry skies
There's no way you can hide it

Waltz like a traitor
Mind he's a handsome devil
Once hе was the greatest
But now hе is doomed forever

There's a man on the telephone
He's in the crowd, but still alone
Seen it all - and he made his call to me

He said 'the world is in distress'
'The politics, it's all a mess'
Before we know he'll put it all to rest
The night is strangely bright
This cavalcade of convenient lies
Count them under starry skies
There's no way you can hide it

Call for a favor - back to the curse of labor
Call for a traitor - rise to the highest level
Cry for a savior - and God he just sent a rebel
He once was the greatest, now he's a lonesome rebel
