Roy Harper - Ghost Dance lyrics

and comfort for the preacher

keep the debtor out of prison

borrowing the future

how much future can he borrow

how much past can he forget

when now's become part of tomorrow

just a flashy fast advertisement

that talks about beginning

at the end.

You imagine

you can change the world

and you're right

it's happening right here and now

tonight tonight.

Relief for hungry children

is nothing but a symptom

of accelerated ignorance

unaware of how a world

forcloses on invading circumstance

and brings a new beginning

all at once

You imagine

you can change the world

and you're right

it's happening right here and now

tonight tonight.

where ice and desert travels

and the scale of justice levels

and the house that silly jack built

while forgetting ages cycling

is crushed inside a moment he forgot

there'll be a new beginning

thanks a lot

You imagine

you can change the world

and you're right

it's happening right here and now

tonight tonight.
