Found the throughline for all humankind If given the time, they´ll blow up or walk on the moon It´s just what they do
For personal gain, on Thanksgiving Day I joined the parade, I stood at the top of the float And threw out a rose Watched a blast from the past, Indigenous dance Started to laugh and then I just started to cry This world is waving goodbye
So cut a rug, let´s throw a party Birthday cards for everyone Swallow hard and say you´re sorry Just admit what you have done
I studied your work like architecture Cathedral of words, the meaning´s not easy to tell Comes back around on itself
Admirers, your biographer, the odometer There´s no way to turn back the clock It´s going to run until it stops So excited to play, turned up all the way Electric, ecstatic, psychotic jumped into the drums Was pandemonium
So if it´s time let´s go together I will be your ballast now Let´s sail into that stormy weather No matter how it turns out
I just want to stand by your side (Guard my darling bride) When everyone calls you a lie
I´ll be your shield (They don´t know you) There´s still some truth worth defending Let´s stroll to the edge of the cliff (Fear imbalanced bliss) Stop here and give me a kiss Now we´re walking on air (Breeze and lightness) There´s no hell beneath our feet
If it ever occurred, just once in the world A love as absurd as ours I would scream what we lost From the mountaintop
