[Verse] Streetlight halo on a shopping cart king Whisperin secrets the night birds sing Empty bottles like forgotten dreams He preaches truth or so it seems [Pre-Chorus] Another day fades, the city breathes slow He gathers his thoughts, nowhere to go [Chorus] Parking lot prophet No fixed address Just open road And endless yes [Verse 2] A window rolls down a voice soft and low Says "Need a lift friend where do you wanna go" No destination just a nod and a smile Leaving the lot for a little while [Verse 3] By the laundromat he counts up his change Three bucks and a crumpled-in orange peel receipt Sits on the curb while the buses hiss by Tells the cold wind, "I ain't hard to beat" [Bridge] He looks at the stars, a million tiny lights Remembers a name, some forgotten nights A faded photograph, a promise long since gone Still, the spirit flickers, keeps him moving on [Chorus] Parking lot prophet No fixed address Just open road And endless yes [Chorus] Parking lot prophet Parking lot prophet No fixed address Just open road And endless yes [Outro] Morning comes up over the gas station roof He folds up the blanket, takes the long way through Coffee in a paper cup, crown on his cart Same old street, still beating in his heart Parking lot prophet, fading in the glow One more mile before the city knows
