Over three hundred thousand stars make up our solar system 
He'll hang around all night and talk to anyone who'd listen 
And lecture you on which ways you're bound to go 
The only thing he thinks about, the only thing he needs to know 
Is not his time and date and place of birth 
But only that he's born in the same galaxy as her 
So go over to your girlfriend's and ask her for yourself '
Cause after all you know her better than anyone else 
This town's so small it could be built of cardboard boxes 
When the walk from you to her 
Is the same length that fourteen blocks is 
Always chewing on finger nail 
Surrender or set sail 
It's given with a spoon of sugar but take it with a grain of salt 
You can't blame him for dreaming, that cannot be a fault 
Always judging books by what's written on the sleeve 
Make sure you don't read everything that you believe 
He locks his door and turns his head towards the street 
Don't try to cheat the future 'cause you're just cheating yourself 
Don't try to cheat the future 'cause you're just cheating your... 
A jackpot in the lottery, you'll chance meet a handsome stranger 
Relying on some prophecy to be your life's rearranger 
She's leaving soon so oh you gotta fly 
He walks past the church, they're singing 
El Anamur 
Ardini A hymn written in 
Hebrew, to him it sounds all 
Greek Don't try to cheat the future 'cause you're just cheating yourself 
Don't try to cheat the future 'cause you're just cheating yourself 
Don't try to treat the future like inherited debt or wealth 
Don't try to cheat the future 'cause you're just cheating yourself
