Now since his disappearance through the smoke rings of our time While the plaster jester is speaking out of tune In moonlight swimming madness deep within Aladdin's cave But with good old diamonds dancing, we can all smile too soon
Oh, swing and sway, the patterns say Time sign out and please
Dive into yesterday, dive into yesterday Dive into yesterday
Kaleidoscopic tambourines are tickling your ears While the tiny goldfish all swim amongst the air The Mardi Gras at midnight, the songs tumbling in sound While Sh-Sh-Shakespeare floats with wild roses in his head
Oh, swing and sway, the patterns say Time sign out and please
Relax your eyes, for after all We can but share these minutes
Battalions in navy blue are bursting beige balloons The water pistols are all filled with lemonade The jester and the goldfish have joined minds above the moon Oh, please kiss the flowers and you too will be safe
Oh, swing and sway, the patterns say Time sign out and please
Dive into yesterday, dive into yesterday Dive into yesterday, oh
