Locusts

This is goodbye another locust goes flying by And now it's time for the circus to sleep Suddenly it's quiet then it suddenly starts to breathe It's what you expected, better run, better hide your face I bet my life on a jetpack on Strawberry Hills I fan the fires, oh for fun and for hire Can't imagine nobody will run away, train of thought And I'll understand if you come to conclusions Your demented dreams They're holding up despite of me And sooner or later you will be Something like a memory Oh don't you cry, the fish are jumping across the sky A little light on the mountain goes out Living in the town that took the king down a crown of bones A steady hand is abandoning signs of hope And in the dark I can still set her face on fire A volunteer who's on top of the task If it had not been for that young girl who was walking by I'd still have money, I'd still have some hope But now it's all I see Just sweeter than gasoline The sooner the better it falls together And now, you're something like a memory Something like a memory Something like a memory La la la la la la la, la, la la la Something like a memory Your demented dreams They're holding up despite of me And sooner or later you will be Something like a memory I heard you coming, in the jungle I'm sensible Haven't the time for the circus no more Even when the wind picks up you swing on the desert moon Give me your hand and when you land I will stage your play I shouldn't be speaking but you know that's impossible We'd concentrate but that's just going too far (we concentrate) I remember nothing as we circle the animal If I was mistaken then the story is older still Now it's all I see Just sweeter than gasoline The sooner the better it falls together And now, you're something like a memory We never said that we're beyond our own past Something like a memory Something like a memory We never said that we're beyond our own past Something like a memory Something like a memory We never said that we're beyond our own past Something like a memory Something like a memory We never said that we're beyond our own past
