Prophet

Saw myself in a motion picture

It was a comfort to me

No, I didn’t think

Anyone was talking to me

Repeat

One way

The bottom line

When you grow up, you won’t mind

One way

The bottom line

No offer but the answer, for you to find

My crime is the hot line flowing like a faucet

Give me a line, I’ll twist it up and then I’ll toss it

Go from extremes

From cusp to corner

I linger like a queen fingers jewels that adorn her

I’m a needy little daughter of a bitch

I got nine lives

So can I save a stitch

Give me an inch, I’ll take a mile

You choose your shoes, make them last ‘til the last mile

Saw myself in a motion picture

It was a comfort to me

No, I didn’t think

Anyone was talking to me

Repeat

Chorus:

He said I’m a prophet and I’m never wrong

You’ll think about tonight long after it’s gone

And you’ll thank me for the words I have to say

He said I’m a prophet and I’m never wrong

The love you found won’t be lasting long

And you’ll thank me for the words I gave away

One way

The bottom line

When you grow up, you won’t mind

One way

The bottom line

No offer but the answer, for you to find

That’s the message, you’re looking in their eyes

You know they’re looking past you

You know they’re telling lies

You are wise to it, you won’t rise to it

You think you fly above it, in the night you grab their ass like you love it

And let them smack it

You never crack the code

If we’re the canvas, and they’re the paint

And he’s some kind of Elvis

And you’re some kind of saint

Am I wrong because I traded off the song?

Saw myself in a motion picture

It was a comfort to me

No, I didn’t think

Anyone was talking to me

Repeat

Chorus:

He said I’m a prophet and I’m never wrong

You’ll think about tonight long after it’s gone

And you’ll thank me for the words I have to say

He said I’m a prophet and I’m never wrong

The love you found won’t be lasting long

And you’ll thank me for the words I gave away
