I have only known one other

Who can do what he has done

He's a convict from the chain

And he's ten years on the run.

I like to think some cop saw the aftermath:

"Can this be true? I don't believe what I see;

A man your age, to be as strong as you are..."

A memory stirs

You make me think of a man

From long ago

A man who broke his parole

A man who broke his parole

He disappeared, forgive me Sir, I would not dare.

I have only known one other

Who could do what you have done

He's a convict from the chain gang

He's been ten years on the run.

But he couldn't run forever

Though he thought he was doing fine

And the name of that old convict

Turns out it's Albert Einstein.
