Prophet 15 Lyrics

I'm lost in a cloud and I can't get out
There's no other way, don't try

I'm caught in a car and I can't get out
I can't explain, I can't drive
Can't drive

Oscar Wilde and Peter Cooke close by
Che Guevara and Steve McQueen, right there, oh yeah

I'm lost in a cloud and I can't get out
Floating away, can't fly

Caught in a car and I can't get out
I can't explain, can't drive
I can't drive

John Belushi, Lady Day close by
Joe the Lion and Marvyn Gaye, right there, oh yeah

And Davy Crocket and Joan Of Arc close by
And David Banner and Roger Moore they're all there, oh yeah

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

well, first of all its a very catchy tune ... beautiful melody ... the song to me seems to be about an accident in a car. But whats with the names of all these people, which include celebrities and heroes of different countries and movements around the world ... is there something that links them together ... i think yes ... they are all close to the heart of the singer so when he is facing this life threatening situation in the car ... these people come to his mind ... and he feels that they are in the car with him ...

on second thoughts its more like a mystical experience not necessarily influenced by a life threatening situation but rather induced by some experimentation with hallucinogenics ...

Pretty sure it's about watching too much television.
