Late New Years Eve paper hat on your head
|
It was hard to believe that you'd ever be dead
|
And that dream that you're falling you've had since you're five
|
Is a bird on your shoulder that whispers goodbye
|
|
What is moving will be still
|
What has gathered will disperse
|
What has been built up will collapse
|
All of your dreams are fulfilled
|
|
Evil Knievel shot up from dead grass
|
And I loved him better each time that he crashed
|
And Liza Minnelli spent a month in her bed
|
She was certain that Skylab would fall on her head
|
|
What is moving will be still
|
What has gathered will disperse
|
What's been built up will collapse
|
All of your dreams are fulfilled
|
|
Last night I dreamed that I dug my own grave
|
And I climbed down inside there to patiently wait
|
And down in the ground while I breathed the cold air
|
The blackbirds came down there to nest in my hair
|
|
What's moving will be still
|
What has gathered will disperse
|
What has been built up will collapse
|
All of your dreams
|
All of your dreams are fulfilled
|
Are fulfilled
|
Are fulfilled
|
Are fulfilled
|
Are
|
