Neil Young - Like an Inca lyrics

[Neil Young - Like an Inca lyrics]

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 nothing showed
Who put the bomb on the sacred altar?
Why should we die if it comes our way?
Why should we care about a little button
Being pushed by someone we don't even know?

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 like an Inca

If you want to get high
Build a strong foundation
Sink those pylons deep now and
Reach for the sky


If you want to get lost in the jungle rhythm
Get down on the ground
And pretend you're swimmin'
If you want to put ice in the lava river
First you must climb
Then you must stand and shiver
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 nothing showed

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 like an Inca
Like an Inca like an Inca

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 nothing showed
Who put the bomb on the sacred altar?
Why should we die if it comes our way?
Why should we care about a little button
Being pushed by someone we don't even know?

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 like an Inca
Like an Inca

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 like an Inca
Like an Inca

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
She said that nothing showed
She said that nothing showed
Like an Inca among the ruins like an Inca
Like an Inca
