And so it crawled to life eventually Not far from the city where it all began It came, it saw and it won Then, facing the sudden on the face of the earth As abandoned and vague as the thought of it being born It trampled through the coastline: "this shall be the end; marked be my dark continent"
I was talking to myself but the god was there Sitting under an umbrella, crying Nobody ever looked at a humble man Who was dressed as an elephant, dancing the high-wire Who won't let the past go by
The one thing you could never want is what you'll get for sure The one thing you could never reach still waits you at your door The one thing you could never have still keeps you going on It's the wide-eyed siren of the time gone way too long ago
