On the Town hall stairs They're sunbaking in pairs You try not to look suspicious But there's always someone Happy to remind you It snuck up behind you Everything slowed sown And then you came undone And first you hands don't work They're babies waiting to be born And then your lips don't work And someone's leaning on your horn>br> I came as fast as I could The street spun under my feet If it doesn't rain then it's a beautiful fountain And if you place a finger in front of your face And close one eye you can block out a mountain And then your mind takes flight Like it received a glancing blow And then your legs don't feel right You're sprouting roots where once were toes You wish to burn up the whole night And wake up in the same clothes
All by itself magically the day begins And all across the world that costs nothing
Past silent cars single filed up the street Thought they're all gone now they sure really took a beating It could make you depressed but maybe it's for the best That all we ever came to know for real was fleeting Like fire and wood A hairless chest Most electrical goods And pop starlets I'll tear the house down board by board So you might believe it yet
Without our help magically the day begins And all across that costs nothing
