It started out with butterflies
|
On a velvet afternoon
|
With flashing eyes and promises
|
Caught and held too soon
|
In a place called Ixea
|
With it's pumpkin oval moon
|
|
It started out so nice
|
|
Genji taught Orion
|
Sea-purple harmony
|
While Kogi hit secrets into seashells
|
And even the ocean laughed
|
beneath that celestial canopy
|
|
Cuz it started out so nice
|
|
With the dust of stars they intermingled
|
Durock of Avon would only jingle
|
Marble money tunes
|
As pale earthly circles swooned
|
|
Volume left Bohemia, a triangle for his thumb
|
Questions fell but no one stopped to listen
|
That eternity was just a dawn away
|
And the rest was sure to come
|
Leaves, caught in winter's ice
|
|
Abandoned circus grounds of flower captains
|
Prisms in a palm one way it happens
|
The air was silver calm
|
The softly met were slowly moving on
|
|
Then all things in common suddenly grew strange
|
Now the Wurs were chasing other rainbows
|
Trying to find where the wind blows
|
To empty corners past dusty memories
|
|
Now in the third millennium the crowded madness came
|
Crooked shadows roamed through the nights
|
The wizards overplayed their names
|
And after that the Wurs never bothered to have
|
Summer reasons...again,
|
but it started out so nice
|
it started out so nice
|
|
We started out so nice.
