Semi-Great Predictor Lyrics

The man behind the grin, had a weapon known as sin and he called himself the Semi Great Predictor
He would always try in vain to logically explain why Noah saved the Boa Constrictor
now Noah seems to think as they slowly near the brink of embarking in a oversized outrigger
That for law and orders sake, we must preserve some snakes, it’s a thousand years before we’ll have the trigger.

He’s the Semi Great Predictor, self appointed, self ordained and he views the world with vision and with tact,
he ponders human fate and then profoundly states that infinity will up all the slack.

The crowd began to beef and stated disbelief and finally policemen intervened,
while poultry meat and bread rained down on the predictors head and they took him to the laundry to be cleaned.
And somewhere in the scrubbing and the washing and the rubbing there came a sudden eclipse of the sun,
and the ground below us rumbled and above a giant grumbled , blocking out the heavens with his gun.

He’s the Semi Great Predictor, self appointed, self ordained and he views the world with vision and with tact,
he ponders human fate and then profoundly states that infinity will up all the slack.

And then a little child spoke to the giant and smiled, said don’t be a slave to deeds that others think.
So the giant threw down his gun and joined in for the fun, stood watching as the Great Predictor shrieked.
Now in the lost and found you can hear the lonesome sound, of the trigger with it’s stubborn empty clicking,
and no one will console the predictor in his hole or swallow any dirt that he is kicking

He’s the Semi Great Predictor, self appointed, self ordained and he views the world with vision and with tact,
he ponders human fate and then profoundly states that infinity will up all the slack

The other side of infinity boys and reeks with injustice,
dictate and covet my return… to the rivers of your consciousness… to the sanctuary of your mind
