now the glaciers all are melting
breaking off into the sea
and the world is getting warmer
and I've finally set you free
it's been funny and peculiar
and at least a little strange
but your dark balloon has floated off
entirely out of range
now begins the sad ascent
you're taking in the view
and the eye atop the pyramid
reminds me so of you
our winter is a memory
it's summer all year round
and the torch that I once burned for you
is burning down the town
it's been loathsome, it's a horror
but it's comic just as well
that your dark balloon has floated off
and left me in a spell
now begins the sad ascent
you're taking in the view
and the eye atop the pyramid
reminds me so of you
now the snowplows all are rusted
and the river's running low
and the riot squad is thirsty
they need somewhere else to go
now the gamblers are all busted
and the players ain't got game
well you never could be trusted
but I loved you just the same
it's been heavy, it's been loopy
it's been everything and more
but your dark balloon has floated off
and left me on the floor
now begins the sad ascent
you're taking in the view
and the eye atop the pyramid
reminds me so of you |
