New Amsterdams Son Of A Prophet
All your hangers on
Watch with anxious eyes
Watch your mouth to speak
Words mystic and wise
Can you explain away everything 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
Preacher's only son
Wise man's only tie
Scorned by anyone
With an evil eye
