The ticking seconds hear them call
My spell of hours will make you fall
Each timer that I break
Will halt the flowing sands
Each timer that I break
Will put you in my hands
At 25 o’clock
Waiting for the break of day
Searching for something to say
Dancing lights againnst the sky
Giving up I close my eyes
Sitting cross-legged on the floor
25 or 6 to 4
And it’s one, two, three, what are we fighting for?
Don’t ask me, I don’t give a damn.
Next stop is Vietnam.
And it’s five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates.
Ain’t no need to wonder why.
Whoppee! We’re all going to die.
Chinese people were fighting in the park
We tried to help them fight, no one appreciated that
And when I get excited
My little China girl says
“Oh baby, just you shut your mouth.”
She says: “Shhh…”
She says: “Shhh…”
Hush, hush
I thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
She broke my heart but I love her just the same now
Hush hush, keep it down now, voices carry
Hush hush, keep it down now, voices carry
Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendor
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
Turn your face away from the garish light of day
Turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light
And listen to the music of the night
Music is what we like to play
All day all day all day all day all day
To soothe your soul, yeah
Lets have a picnic go to the park
Rolling in the grass 'til long after dark
To soothe you soul, yeah
Saturday in the park
I think it was the Fourth of July
Saturday in the park
I think it was the Fourth of July
If I could have it this way I know I’d
I’d wanna live where it’s like today
I’d wanna live where it’s always this way
I wanna live where it’s always Saturday
If you leave me now, you’ll take away the biggest part of me
Ooohh no
Baby please don’t go
And if you leave me now, you’ll take away the very heart of me
Ooohh no
Baby please don’t go
Ooohh girl
I just want you to stay
A love like ours is love that’s hard to find
How could we let it slip away
We’ve come too far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way
When tomorrow comes and we’ll both regret
The things we said today
The boat rides we would take
The moonlight on the lake
The way we danced and hummed our favorite song
The things we did last summer
I’ll remember all winter long
I’ll always remember the chill of November
The news of the fall, the sounds in the hall
The clock on the wall ticking away
“Seize the Day,” I heard him say
Life will not always be this way
Look around, hear the sounds
Cherish your life while you’re still around
But February made me shiver
With every paper I’d deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn’t take one more step
Look at him running, there’s so far to go
He’s very short of breath
And he’d said don’t be late, just don’t be late
With his parcel tucked tight under his arm
He’s sure he’s passed half way
And he’d said don’t be late, just don’t be late
There’s a fog upon L.A.
And my friends have lost their way
We’ll be over soon they said
Now they’ve lost themselves instead.
Please don’t be long
Please don’t you be very long
Please don’t be long
Or I may be asleep
Take it from me, don’t be a do-badder up
Do-badder up, do bother to put your foot up
That ladder that leads you to that place
Below and every day you lose other you
Feel sadder, you get madder so use the other
Step ladder, you climb the other way
Every day a little sadder
A little madder
Someone get me a ladder
When the day is done
We’ll get out of here
When the race is run
And the coast is clear
Jump a sinking ship
Grab a falling leaf
I’ll place a smoke ring 'round your yellow fingers
And a rose in your teeth
And we’ll go climbing broken ladders to glory
