[00:19.82]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.
