Neil Young - Like An Inca Lyrics
Said the condor to the preying mantisWere gonna lose this place just like we lost atlantisBrother we got to go sooner than you knowThe gypsy told my fortune, she said that nothin showed.Who put the bomb on the sacred altar?Why should we die if it comes our way?Why should we care about a little buttonBeing pushed by someone we dont even know?Well. I wish I was an aztec,Or a runner in peruI would build such beautiful buildingsTo house the chosen fewLike an inca from peru.If you want to get high, build a strong foundationSink those pylons deep now and reach for the skyIf you want to get lost in the jungle rhythmGet down on the ground and pretend youre swimmin.If you want to put ice in the lava riverFirst you must climb, then you must stand and shiverBrother we got to go sooner than you knowThe gypsy told my fortune, the gypsy told my fortune,The gypsy told my fortune, she said that nothing showedWell I wish I was an aztec,Or a runner in peruI would build such beautiful buildingsTo house the chosen fewLike an inca from peru.Said the condor to the preying mantisWere gonna lose this place just like we lost atlantisBrother we got to go sooner than you knowThe gypsy told my fortune, the gypsy told my fortune,The gypsy told my fortune, she said that nothin showed.Who put the bomb on the sacred altar?Why should we die if it comes our way?Why should we care about a little buttonBeing pushed by someone we dont even know?Well. I wish I was an aztec,Or a runner in peruI would build such beautiful buildingsTo house the chosen fewLike an inca from peru.I feel sad, but I feel happyAs Im coming back to homeTheres a bridge across the riverThat I have to cross aloneLike a skipping rolling stoneLike an inca.
