Lyrics

Verse 1:
My neighbor is an old man
Rubin lives in 14B
I used to laugh off his grim predictions
Over coffee or a cup of tea
But the TV news confirms his thoughts
And I find myself agreeing with ideas that I had once fought

Chorus:
When storm clouds are growing dark
Start building the arc
One big resuce boat - help us float above our demos and fears
Now if you're in need of a fresh new start
Board old man Rubin's arc

Verse 2:
"Our ways need to change" he says
We're digging ourselves a hole
After all a man is only mortal
Gotta start thinking about his soul
Our time runs on 'til it's all been spent
But he says it's not too late to find your way, join me and repent

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
Thought of as a crazy fool
But he lives out his plan
Rubin looks beyond this world
He just may be the wise man

Repeat Chorus

End
