At the top of the world
There is a half-year sun
The water`s all froze
And one thousand men old
On the side of the hill
There are no wanting eyes
But you`re a spectacle a spinning doll
Now the hour is fading but ours is staying
Its all syncopated to your heart`s hard heartbeat time
You may never miss a sign
At the base of your skull
I`ve got a place there still
All my clothes spread out aI was just thinking most of last Wednesday
I hope we`re together from here until Doomsday
We could be each other`s arms
Keep each other free from harm
Because when it`s all stripped to the bone
My life is at home
Spring cleaning`s coming as we lose the cold weather
Put away your long johns and all your thick sweaters
We`ll cut off all our winter hair
Sit out on the lawn chairs
As the sun forgets that we`re here
We forget our career
All the lukewarm weeks at sixty degrees
We`re hoping it`s humid show our summer knees
Once in a lifetime once in a while the sun will shine on me
Thursday I`m leaving skip town I`m running
It`s cars and new faces and jokes that aren`t funny
But we laugh at them anyway
I`d do anything just to kill the day
No matter how far that I go I`m not so far away
All the lukewarm weeks at sixty degrees
We`re hoping it`s humid show our summer knees
Once in a lifetime once in a while the sun will shine on me
All the humid nights parked under streetlights
My baby`s riding shotgun in her knee high tights
She looks like heaven I feel like the devil
In my Sunday whites
As I slowly better my craft
I`m still a ghost of my better half
Cos once in awhile the sun shines on me
In a permanent row
Now the hour is fading but ours is staying
It`s all syncopated to your hearts hard heartbeat time
We will never not get together
We will never not get too old
The water`s all frozen one
And I`ve got a place there still
And we will not get too old
