The Good Works of Cyrus

I heard the words of Cyrus
Stopped at the light one day
He blessed me for the offering
Then he looked at me and said:
"There is a flood that's coming
So make your plans for running far away"

There is a flood that's coming
So make your plans for running

I paid him almost nothing
And nothing I have laid
I cursed the pearls of Cyrus
I threw them all away
Though high above it's sunny
There ain't no use in running not today
