Lyrics

[Verse 1] Over the mountain, down in the valley Lives a former talk-show host Everybody knows his name He said, "There's no doubt about it It was the myth of fingerprints I've seen them all and man, they're all the same" [Chorus] Well, the sun gets weary And the sun goes down Ever since the watermelon And the lights come up On the black pit town Somebody says, "What's a better thing to do?" Well, it's not just me And it's not just you This is all around the world [Verse 2] Out in the Indian Ocean somewhere There's a former army post Abandoned now just like the war And there is no doubt about it It was the myth of fingerprints That's what that old army post was for [Chorus] Well, the sun gets bloody And the sun goes down Ever since the watermelon And the lights come up On the black pit town Somebody says, "What's a better thing to do?" Well, it's not just me And it's not just you This is all around the world [Verse 3] Over the mountain, down in the valley Lives the former talk-show host Far and wide his name was known He said, "There's no doubt about it It was the myth of fingerprints That's why we must learn to live alone" [Outro] All around the world All around the world All around the world All around the world
