The Cat Empire
Prophets in the Sky
(Verse)
You saw the carnival in Rio
You saw them dancing in the sun
But listen to your corazón
Can you believe you’re always on your own?
You’re like a song without a singer
You’re like a bird without a song
You’re all alone, all alone
And you’re walking down alone against the road
(Chorus)
Oh, you tricksters and hipsters and prophets in the sky
Can you imagine a love like that?
A love like that, a love like that
A love like that, a love like…
(Verse)
This love is older than your father
This love is younger than your son
You feel it in your corazón
And it will be here when everything is gone
And as the night turns into morning
When the fire burns to cold
She whispers in your corazón
Now you know, now you know, now you know
(Chorus)
Oh, you tricksters and hipsters and prophets in the sky
Can you imagine a love like that?
A love like that, a love like that
A love like that, a love like…
(Bridge)
Oh, you’re lost in the crowd
But I know that I’ll find you, a song doesn’t lie
Hundreds of yards of some ancient street
Between the sad in the night
I know that heaven
(Verse)
And with the summer comes the madness
Hold your faces in the night
We light our fires all alone
And build a temple to save us from the dawn
You can’t have everybody love you
You can’t have sunshine every day
You see a dancer there alone
Then you know, then you know, then you know
(Chorus)
Oh, you tricksters and hipsters and prophets in the sky
Can you imagine a love like that?
A love like that, a love like that
A love like that, a love like…
