Dm Said the condor To the praying mantis We're gonna lose this place Just like we lost Atlantis Brother we got to go Sooner than you know. 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? And why should we care. About a little button being pushed by someone we don't even know? Chorus: A# F Well I wish I was an Aztec A# F Or a runner in Peru. A# Dm I would build such beautiful buildings C F to house the chosen few. C Like an Inca from Peru. If you want to get high build a stong foundation Sink those pylons deep And reach for the sky. If you want to get lost in the jungle rythm Get down on the ground And pretend your swimming. If you want to put ice in the Lava river. First you must climb then you must stand and shiver. Brother we gotta go Sooner than you know The gypsy told my fortune. The gypsy told my fortune. The gypsy told my fortune. She said that nothing showed Chorus: Well I wish I was an Aztec Or a runner in Peru. I would build such beautiful buildings to house the chosen few. Like an Inca from Peru. Said the condor To the praying mantis We're gonna lose this place Just like we lost Atlantis Brother we got to go Sooner than you know. The 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? And why should we care. About a little button being pushed by someone we don't even know? Chorus: Well I wish I was an Aztec Or a runner in Peru. I would build such beautiful buildings to house the chosen few. Like an Inca from Peru. Chorus: I feel sad, but I feel happy as I'm coming back to home. There's a bridge across the river. That I have to cross alone. Like a skipping rolling stone. If you want to get high build a foundation Sink those pylons deep And reach for the sky. Brother we gotta go we gotta go The gypsy told my fortune. The gypsy told my fortune. The gypsy told my fortune. The gypsy told my fortune.
