Lyrics Prefab Sprout

Prefab Sprout

List of Impossible Things

Take your cracked violin

Let the music begin

And sing like you're Francis Hoboken

If your voice is all shot

It's still the best one you've got

You're a work of art that's broken

See what the blind man paints

Abstract expressionist saints

We ride with stateless kings

And dream that our horses have wings

Sleeping on cold stone floors

Engaged in some new noble cause

Stretch out your hands to hold

A grandeur that won't be controlled

This is the list of impossible things

We're on the list of impossible things

High on the list of impossible things

Crazy the mystic's song

But what if they're right all along

Trust what you cannot know

And pray till your prayers make it so

This is the list of impossible things

We're on the list of impossible things

High on the list of impossible things

See what the blind man paints

Abstract expressionist saints

See what the blind man paints

Abstract expressionist saints

See what the blind man paints

Abstract expressionist saints
