Welcome to my private world, where time goes round in circles Step into my universe, but don't step on the turtles Ease your mind. pull up a chair, a thousand thoughts will follow Certain thoughts are hard to bear, when everything rings hollow... Don't be a stranger, don't be a mystery to yourself Don't let it fade away, don't be a stranger Don't be a stranger to yourself... Wasps in aspic, moths in jars, and fireflies like evening stars Evening stars... Water flowing under bridges, how the years have flown My future once was statuesque, when youth was set in stone I like to mix my metaphors, i like to see them squirm But every statue turns to dust, and even bridges burn... Begging, baby, please, please please Calling all recording angels Call the world to witness this Send the word to friends and strangers She's got the gift of perfect bliss Perfect bliss Someday soon Someday, maybe never Someday soon Things must come together Wham-bam, shang-a-lang I guess I'm a lucky man I've got a love so pure and true I've got the gift of me and you Calling all recording angels Call the world to witness this Send the word to friends and strangers She's got the gift of perfect bliss
