Forever Now

The Blind Man and Dow Jones
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

You step out in the yard
and you walk out in the street
You are thinking about the future
and the blind man you will meet
He will give you all the answers
He can see what lies ahead
He turns around to face you
and he mutters "you are dead"

We all know our world is ending
And we all know why that is
Don't we, Dow Jones?

The blind man isn't playing
He is set to live offshore
He already had his fill
but he wants a whole lot more
You say go help your mother
and he says "she is a whore"
You don't like that kind of talk
so, you point him to the door

We all know our world is ending
And we all know why that is
Don't we, Dow Jones?

He says it never rains
then he says that she is dying 
There are things he can arrange
but he says he's sick of trying
He says she is in pain
It is time for all to quit
He would lay down on the floor
but he cannot stand the heat

We all know our world is ending
And we all know why that is
Don't we, Dow Jones?

The ice, it all has melted
and the water tastes like salt
The blind man cannot help you
He says it's all your fault
He says it's you who did it
But he poisoned every well
He thought that no one knew
He thought no one would tell

We all know our world is ending
And we all know why that is
Don't we, Dow Jones?

The smoke gets in his eyes
But he's blind, he doesn't care
He will take his plane and fly
He is getting out of there
The fire is getting closer
If you don't go, you will  die
But the blind man says "stay here"
and he offers you some pie

We all know our world is ending
And we all know why that is
Don't we, Dow Jones?

You sit down by his side
and you stare into the flames
You eat your pie with ashes
and you talk of who's to blame
The blind man knows the answer
He knows that you know too
He could always see the future
He knew it would be you

We all know our world is ending
And we all know why that is
Don't we, Dow Jones?

We all know our world is ending
And we all know why that is
Don't we, Dow Jones?

Don't we, Dow Jones?

Don't we, Dow Jones?
