Time enough to prepare And make you look, make you stare Won't you deal me in? And let empires fall Got me some others to call Who could offer me danger? But don't take it personal
But you live the echo of the screaming jet In the furnace of each cigarette With penitence and regret Around your neck like a golden chain Like an aching numbed with novocaine Well wouldn't you like to get away And ride white horses far away Now they're chasing away
Leaving the trace of your things Rusting away Somewhere just under your skin Is this the way out? Let summer begin Brighten your sky Just let it be as you'd like Just cross your heart and hope to die Don't take it personal
Well, we'll hide in the eye of the maelstrom We're down in the valley where the shadow's long Don't you know that we belong Somewhere over the rainbow In the wreckage of the UFO That glitters in the ocean spray Ride them up to the milky way Now they're chasing away
