Towers tumbled - all the buildings crumbled
|
Volcanoes rumbled
|
Insurance salesman mumbled
|
Ballerians bumbled - all the heroes stumbled
|
Politicians fumbled
|
|
Suddenly a hand held out - take a ticket tout
|
It was a chart - it was a card
|
And those are your instructions
|
And what he offered in his hand
|
It was a diagram - master plan
|
A secret plan for your deduction
|
|
Crystals shatter - all the singers chatter
|
While the drums just clatter
|
Your silken raiment's tatter
|
While all the poets chatter - "Oh, it doesn't matter"
|
Please ignore the latter
|
Settle back you're growing fatter
|
Oh you know you've got no conception
|
Well, you're far out in space
|
I see you trying to trace a design
|
Of your heart on the stars
|
|
On the open ocean - like an open book
|
See the feeble fumble for a better look
|
See the sheep shake
|
In their sleep wake
|
Not an earthquake
|
Or a death wake
|
|
And all the while - through the testing and the trials
|
She smiles
|
Eternity smiles...
