An Incredible State Of Affairs

What a very incredible state of affairs again I find

People tempting their fate not to win

And they won’t give me time to relax my mind

Twenty thieves in the marketplace stealing gypsy minstrel bands

Always trying to hide from their face what they don’t understand

So they don’t understand

Angry people building a legend that does them no good

All the people bringing it down like I knew they would

And I know that the feeling is wrong

But I can see that it’s changing my song

What a very incredible state of affairs have come to pass

Weepers finding out far to late that their not made to last

Their moving far too fast

Angry people building a legend that does them no good

All the people bringing it down like I knew they would

And I know that the feeling is wrong

But I can see that it’s changing my soul

And it’s back to Atlantis and Mu

I can see that’s it’s me and it’s you

What a very incredible state of affairs again I find

Repeat
