Bruce Cockburn
Outside a Broken Phone Booth With Money In My Hand
[Verse 1]
I've got planets in my palm
There's a red smear on the sky
A star has just exploded
Somewhere behind my eyes
In the dead of night the city
Seems to break down into tribes
You stare at too much concrete
You forget the earth's alive

[Verse 2]
Young men see visions
And old men dream dreams
See them pluck bright pebbles
Out of circles in the stream
Life's not always like they tell you
In the fashion magazines
When I set eyes on wonders
I've got to wonder what they mean

[Verse 3]
Outside in the starshine
You can see beyond the wall
So take a look and tell me
Can you hear those black holes call?
Everything is thunder
Under the celestial waterfall
You get close enough to real things
You don't need your self at all
