It started out with butterflies On a velvet afternoon |
| [00:26.47] |
With flashing eyes and promises |
| [00:30.09] |
Caught and held too soon |
| [00:33.90] |
In a place called Ixea |
| [00:36.27] |
With it's pumpkin oval moon |
| [00:40.92] |
It started out so nice |
| [00:48.34] |
Genji taught Orion |
| [00:50.83] |
Sea-purple harmony |
| [00:55.43] |
While Kogi hit secrets into seashells |
| [01:02.42] |
And even the ocean laughed |
| [01:04.95] |
beneath that celestial canopy |
| [01:08.50] |
Cuz it started out so nice |
| [01:20.10] |
With the dust of stars they intermingled |
| [01:23.77] |
Durock of Avon would only jingle |
| [01:27.59] |
Marble money tunes |
| [01:30.80] |
As pale earthly circles swooned |
| [01:41.86] |
Volume left Bohemia, a triangle for his thumb |
| [01:48.85] |
Questions fell but no one stopped to listen |
| [01:55.81] |
That eternity was just a dawn away |
| [01:58.53] |
And the rest was sure to come |
| [02:02.17] |
Leaves, caught in winter's ice |
| [02:13.34] |
Abandoned circus grounds of flower captains |
| [02:16.94] |
Prisms in a palm one way it happens |
| [02:20.95] |
The air was silver calm |
| [02:23.94] |
The softly met were slowly moving on |
| [02:35.16] |
Then all things in common suddenly grew strange |
| [02:47.05] |
Now the Wurs were chasing other rainbows |
| [02:50.47] |
Trying to find where the wind blows |
| [02:54.50] |
To empty corners past dusty memories |
| [03:08.72] |
Now in the third millennium the crowded madness came |
| [03:15.64] |
Crooked shadows roamed through the nights |
| [03:18.59] |
The wizards overplayed their names |
| [03:22.96] |
And after that the Wurs never bothered to have |
| [03:25.63] |
Summer reasons... again, |
| [03:29.25] |
but it started out so nice |
| [03:36.52] |
it started out so nice |
| [03:43.63] |
We started out so nice. |
