All Around the World or the Myth of Fingerprints

Paul Simon

Over the mountain
Down in the valley
Lives a former talk show host
Everybody knows his nameHe says, There's no doubt about it
It was the myth of fingerprints
I've seen them all and man
They're all the sameWell, the sun gets weary
And the sun goes down
Ever since the watermelon
And the lights come up
On the black pit townSomebody 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 worldOut in the Indian Ocean somewhere
There's a former army post
Abandoned now just like the warAnd there's no doubt about it
It was the myth of fingerprints
That's what that old army post was forWell, the sun gets bloody
And the sun goes down
Ever since the watermelon
And the lights come up
On the black pit townSomebody 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 worldOver the mountain
Down in the valley
Lives the former talk show host
Far and wide his name was knownHe said there's no doubt about it
It was the myth of fingerprints
That's why we must learn to live aloneLive on, live on, live on
Live on, live on, live on
Live on, live on, live onAll around the
Live on, live on, live on
All around the world
All around the world
