"Soon" lyrics

"Soon"

I was walking down the street
A stranger said to me, 'Be careful what you do'
Then when waiting for a train
I heard a strange refrain: 'I'd watch out if I were you, boy'

There's something going to happen soon
Some-some-something's going to happen soon

I have a phone that doesn't ring
A line that doesn't sting
A letter never sent
I have a dream where snowflakes fall
Inside a painted hall
Ha! That don't pay the rent!

But if you draw a bow, draw the strongest
Yes! And if you use an arrow, use the longest
Oh yes!

Although I don't spook easily
It does occur to me
Tranformation's in the air
Are the heavens conspiring
To show me this new thing
Or has it always been there?
