| Now Alexander the Great
|
| He was a big man across the land
|
| He conquered everything in sight
|
| Had the world at his command
|
| But somewhere deep down inside
|
| He felt there were things that he still didn’t know
|
| So he asked the wise men if they knew
|
| Or if there was some place he could go
|
| They said that in a far off land
|
| Lived a man called Diogenes
|
| Who possessed the kind of knowledge
|
| That would put his mind at ease
|
| So Alexander, he saddled up
|
| And went looking for that holy grail
|
| He rode and rode for miles and miles
|
| 'Til at last he found the trail
|
| Then stepping up he said
|
| I’m here, please tell me what it is I crave
|
| And the voice came back loud and clear
|
| From the darkness of the cave
|
| And said, «Hey, you’re standing in my light»
|
| Hey, you’re standing in my light
|
| I said, «Hey, you’re standing in my light»
|
| I said, «Hey, you’re standing in my light»
|
| Well, I don’t know if I know what you think I know
|
| But I think it’s gonna be fine
|
| And just remember that whatever’s been written
|
| Is just the opinion of one man’s mind
|
| There are no easy answers
|
| That I know that’ll satisfy you
|
| You just gotta take your chances
|
| And do what you wanna do
|
| But you should know that in this world
|
| You get what you deserve
|
| So when your back’s against the wall
|
| You better not lose your nerve
|
| So now you’re standing on the street
|
| Like you got something to prove
|
| And the pavement artist at your feet
|
| Looks up every time you move
|
| And says, «Hey, you’re standing in my light»
|
| Says, «Hey, you’re standing in my light»
|
| You know that ain’t right
|
| Hey, you’re standing in my light
|
| You gonna be there all night
|
| Says, «Hey, you’re standing in my light»
|
| Oh, get out my light
|
| So when you’re headed for the goddess center
|
| And the dream that lies within it
|
| Just remember what the man said
|
| There’s one born every minute
|
| Hey, you’re standing in my light
|
| Hey, you’re standing in my light
|
| You know that ain’t right
|
| Hey, you’re standing in my light
|
| You gonna be there all night
|
| I said, «Hey, you’re standing in my light»
|
| Hey, you’re standing in my light
|
| Hey, you’re standing in my light
|
| You know that ain’t right
|
| Hey, you’re standing in my light |
