Lyrics
Socrates went to the market They said to come on in Yeah, 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 tans Yeah, 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 Thеre were morе of them than him Socrates in thin air In thin air, oh darling Socrates went to the future He left them all behind Yeah, Socrates, he didn't need Those mediocre minds Plus a little ship of wisdom On a lake of instant fools Plus any executioner He'll say "I don't make the rules" Socrates in thin air In thin air Socrates in thin air, oh darling
