Alexander the
Great
He was a big man
across the land
He conquered everything
in sight
He had the world
at his command
Somewhere deep down
He felt there were thing
s 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 it ain't far off land
With a man called
Diogenes
Who possessed the kind of knowledge
That would put his mind at ease
So
Alexander he settled up
A wing lookin' for that holy grail
He rode and rode for miles and miles
Till at last he found the trail
Steppin' 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
He said, hey
You're standing in my lane
Hey, you're standing in my lane
I said hey,
you're standing in my lane
I said hey,
you're standing in my lane
Well, I don't know if I know
what you think I know
But I think it's gonna be fine
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 want to 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
in front of the streetlight
You got some of the proof
And the pavement artists pat your feet
Lips are buried, can't you move?
I said, hey,
you're standing in my lane
I said, hey,
you're standing in my lane
You know that ain't right
Hey, you're standing in my lane
You're gonna be there all night
I said, hey, you're standing in my lane
I'll get out of my life
So when you're headed for
the goddamn center
And the dreamer lies within
Just remember what the man said
It's one for every million
He hey, you're standing in my way
He said, hey,
you're standing in my way
Hey, you're standing
in my way
You'll be there all night
Hey, you're standing in my way
Roll it
Hey, you're standing
in my way
Hey, you're standing
in my way
Hey, you're standing in my way
