Out here on the perimeter
You want to hold my hand
Every star is similar
To every grain of sand
Still I concede it's now or never
(right here now)
Along the waters edge
You hear the sound
Out on the rocky ledge
Above the town
Still I concede it's now or never
Right here now
(right here now)
It's a beautiful day here in the neighborhood
It's a beautiful day here in the universe
In the age of stars
(In the age of stars)
You've got the tools
And I know the way
so we suffer the fools
It's just another day
In another time line
Right here now
That's the way it goes
Over the hill and far away
No one really knows
They just hope it turns out OK
Still I concede it's now or never
Right here now
It's a beautiful day here in the neighborhood
It's a beautiful day here in the universe
In the age of stars
(In the age of stars)
Down in the square
Nobody cares
It's a catered affair
No one was there
Down in the square
Nobody cares
It's a catered affair
No one was there
( Here comes the devil. Oh look! He's brought along a lovely gift decanter...and a snack.)
Oh!
What do you know?
Oh!
It's time for the show
Chasing the riverbed
back to the source
It's a matter of time
The horse was a Trojan horse of course
Little Miss Muffet was so unkind
You, yourself, are free
You are the island
surrounded by the sea
Waiting for the sun
You, yourself, are free
Here in this moment
The light is fading fast
Station to station
Arriving at last
It's a beautiful day here in the neighborhood
It's a beautiful day here in the universe
In the age of stars
Everyone will sing along
Riding in the undertoe
You know it's smackdown time
Here in the black lagoon
Everyone will sing along
We're going to take the wrong way home
We're rotting on the vine
We're howling at the moon
Woe, at the end of the day
Some people say
Time isn't real
Woe, at the end of the line
How the mighty will fall
And the wounds will all heal
Now
Take a giant leap
Leap of faith
Now
Take a giant leap
Leap of faith
Now
Seeking the unity
From the grand design
In this community
At the end of the line
Into eternity
So it goes
