Hey, did anyone arrive while I was away? I saw an S.U.V on the other side a’ the Halloween parade Hey, did anything slick slip by while I was away? You know i’ve got a lot of time, to amble and pontificate Get in it, we got a horse to tame, let’s win it By the tines of old Geronimo we got a war to finish Get in it, there’s nothing else to do Let me kill a bit of time, with you Everybody come and get this tea We’re gonna see, we’re gonna see Which ‘a you gets the chance to dance with me Endlessly, endlessly It’s just another point of view, and that’s okay Everybody dance the night away Get in it, we got a horse to tame, let’s win it By the tines of old Geronimo we got a war to finish Get in it, there’s nothing else to do Let me kill a bit of time, with you Everybody come and get this tea We’re gonna see, we’re gonna see Which ‘a you gets the chance to dance with me Endlessly, endlessly It’s just another point of view, and that’s okay Everybody dance the night away

Nine stacks, set your boots on for attack Get your glucose on the straps Get your glucose on the straps Nine stacks, turn the lights off, get the wrap Check the label on your hat Check the label on your hat Bass hours, don’t you know we got this down We gonna wreck this fucking house We gonna wreck this fucking house Bass hours, turn the bullets into flowers Don’t you know the night is ours Don’t you know the night is ours

Midnight Not a sound from the pavement Has the moon lost her memory? She is smiling alone In the lamplight, the withered leaves collect at my feet And the wind begins to moan Memory All alone in the moonlight I can smile at the old days I was beautiful then I remember the time I knew what happiness was Let the memory live again Daylight I must wait for the sunrise I must think of a new life And I mustn't give in When the dawn comes Tonight will be a memory too And a new day will begin

Baby blue buildings far above the crystal grove Magenta plated terrace with a table and a stove Guarded golden railing just to frame the pretty stars Fix that old piano and the birds will fall apart

Just yesterday, I thought it impossible But then, suddenly, I found just the thing To spur belief, to fly, release Nothing’s been as bright as this before Just yesterday, you brought me a flowerbed And then, suddenly, the colors came alive The reds swam around, the light was found Travelling through the etchings of the earth Just yesterday, the water felt forever gone But then, suddenly, it came flowing back It shines, it gleams, the light revealed A hundred thousand years that I had lost

There’s not a lot to say, so I’ll keep this story brief There’s time left in the day, time I know you won’t believe We stand here undivided, with a song in our hearts I didn’t think this through, but I still have much to learn Don’t take this the wrong way, there’s some lessons here I’ll burn We stand here undivided, with a song in our hearts The mys-try can unfold, there’s still work to do I’m told I don’t know who it was who did, but it sounded pretty bold We stand here undivided, with a song in our hearts
