Something is calling me
I hear it calling me
Leading me far away
A journey of many days
On a stormy sea
Through eternity
To the magic land
Mystery mystery man
Show me your crystal ball
Make sure I can see it all
I'm so easily confused
So won't you hold it near
So I can see it clear
Turn to the judgement day
And the words on the final page

You never know where they will lead you
You never know when they may call
He said don't let no fool supercede you
Cause fools they don't know nothin' at all

He said run--run when I tell you
Don't you place your bet on that losing wheel
I placed that bet before you
Oh I know just how you feel

He told me to come closer
Gaze into his crystal ball
I saw the world through different colors
The mystery man revealed it all

He said run--run when I tell you
Don't you place your bet on that losing wheel
I placed that bet before you
Oh I know just how you feel

His vision made me wonder
In darkness he brought me light
He spoke of fortunes squandered
Of lovely sirens in the night

He said run--run when I tell you
Don't you place your bet on that losing wheel
I placed that bet before you
Oh I know just how you feel

I left him as I found him
An ageless victim of his time
With a knowledge of what surrounds him
And this warning in his rhyme

He said run--run when I tell you
Don't you place your bet on that losing wheel
I placed that bet before you
Oh I know just how you feel
He said run--run when I tell you
Don't you place your bet on that losing wheel
I placed that bet before you
Oh I know just how you feel
