Bruce Cockburn Outside A Broken Phone Booth With Money In My Hands Lyrics

Outside A Broken Phone Booth With Money In My Hands Lyrics

I've got planets in my palm -- there's a red smear on the sky

A star has
just exploded somewhere behind my eyes

In the dead of night the city
seems to break down into tribes

You stare at too much concrete -- you
forget the earth's alive 



Young men see visions and old men dream
dreams

See them pluck bright pebbles out of circles in the stream

Life's not always like they tell you in the fashion magazines

When I
set eyes on wonders, I've got to wonder what they mean 



Outside in
the starshine you can see beyond the wall

So take a look and tell me, can
you hear those black holes call?

Everything is thunder under the
celestial waterfall

You get close enough to real things -- you don't need
your self at all
