Robyn Hitchcock - Socrates In Thin Air Lyrics

Socrates in Thin Air Song Lyrics
Socrates in Thin Air by Robyn Hitchcock Socrates went to the market
They said to come on in
Socrates went to the market
Look what they did to him
He had a little cup of wisdom
And a little cup of wine
He had a little cup of hemlock
And he counted up to nine

Socrates in thin air
In thin air
Oh darling
Socrates went to the water
He tried to wash his hands
Socrates went to the water
It rippled through his hands
They got him in a corner
In a place he couldn’t swim
They cornered him with poison
There wеre more of them than him

Socratеs in thin air
In thin air
Oh darling

Socrates went to the future
He left them all behind
Socrates he didn’t need
Those mediocre minds
He was a little ship of wisdom
On a lake of instant fools
Ask any executioner
They’ll say “I don’t make the rules”

Socrates in thin air
In thin air
Socrates in thin air
Oh darling
