"Prester John" lyrics

"Prester John"

Lemme get it in
Lemme change up before it is too late

There's a broken stick
There's a wrinkle on a leaf
It's dried out

Was a good long run
With a world of good intentions by it

It's the end of this
It's the end of havin' to worry about it

To the end of it
To the ends of lonely days without it

With a little lift
With a passion for a little giving

Here's a little tip
Had a look at what it's really livin'

Treatin' every day
As an image of a moment that's passed
Treatin' every day
As an image of a moment that's passed

Prester John is breaking downtown
His heart is breaking down
Down
Prester John is breaking downtown
His heart is breaking down
Down
Prester John is breaking downtown
His heart is breaking down
Down
Prester John is breaking downtown
His heart is breaking down
Down (Treatin' every day)

Prester John is breaking downtown
(As an image of a moment that's passed)

His heart is breaking down
Down

Treatin' every day
As an image of a moment that's passed
