Riding the day, every day is a sunset Finding the way back home Once upon a night we’ll wake to the carnival of life The beauty of this ride ahead such an incredible high It’s hard to light a candle, easy to curse the dark instead This moment the dawn of humanity The last ride of the day ---

Then I awake and look around me, at the four grey walls that surround me and I realize, yes, I was only dreaming. For there’s a guard and there’s a sad old padre - arm in arm we’ll walk at daybreak.

Helter skelter in a summer swelter The birds flew off with a fallout shelter Eight miles high and falling fast It landed foul on the grass The players tried for a forward pass With the jester on the sidelines in a cast Now the halftime air was sweet perfume While the sergeants played a marching tune We all got up to dance Oh, but we never got the chance ---

(oh, what the Hell) Oh, and there we were all in one place A generation lost in space With no time left to start again So come on, Jack be nimble, Jack be quick Jack Flash sat on a candlestick 'Cause fire is the devil’s only friend Oh, and as I watched him on the stage My hands were clenched in fists of rage No angel born in Hell Could break that Satan’s spell And as the flames climbed high into the night To light the sacrificial rite I saw Satan laughing with delight The day the music died ---
