Lyrics
as i was out enjoying the night, i came upon a curious sight a man was searching to and fro his lantern swung a yellow glow he seemed to look thru every head then back along the streets he sped i ran to him, i had to ask what fired him so, what was his task his gaze fixed me he shook his head and with a sad sad smile he said rolled into town i was feelin kinda down, in the broken street i was lookin to complete a quest from long ago with my lantern all aglow searchin for a man who never never ran from the awkward social fate of always talking straight Chorus i search the busy streets yet I never seem to meet someone who can stand against the locusts on the land need a cooler day 'fore the ice all melts away, cause profit twists the lips and the truth begins to slip to walk that real world line, I seek a soul with stiffened spine. Chorus some can't keep it right, even when the lights are bright, tape is rollin fine, and the suits just keep on lyin. shadows passing on the wall, why will no one heed my call, I need someone who talks straight, why o why this ancient wait I'm always passing thru, seeking out that voice true. Chorus Diogenes, looking with your light, Diogenes, hoping for the sight, of lips that never lie, of only truthful eyes Diogenes, with hope that never dies Diogenes, with hope that never dies ceaseless lantern day and night
