A stone’s throw from the broken bones
I saw the walls fall at Jericho
Felt the fires and the ashes blow
They said no survivors but you never know
All the memories you can get on video
The only thing that’s left to feel is vertigo
But see the lesson of the noble buffalo
It could get worse, but you never know
They built a palace on the sacred tombs
And made a ruler of a face they barely know
Under the Thunderdome a puppet show
Can't say I'm optimistic but you never know
Crowd control overflow
A black hole forming in a sea of coal
Heart and soul rock and roll
All may be nothing but you never know
