I'm driving late again, like a deer in a gaslight
Ocean breezes by and tells me it's all right
All the castles in the universe are there
Across the amazons and moats to anywhere
Ol four syllables make it seem like a fairytale
Sail across the world on a boat inside a whale
I'm a skeleton with a case of nostalgia
Badly rotten root in a cactus dahlia
Foam across the mountaintops in the sand
Lines across the highway palm in my hand
What can you expect
At seventeen from an old man
Except one glimpse of freedom
From a hollow land
It's a Christmas caldera
Something that was marvelous
Dust that's white and grey with rust
Trailing with a wanderlust
The people we put on the moon
Flag a castle on its 1st commune
But they're gone away
It's all just children's play
It's a Christmas caldera
Something that was marvelous
Dust that's white and grey with rust
Trailing with a wanderlust
Goodbye tomorrow!
These sand castles of the sky
Crashing by the time
I'm sorry to you all
You lovers and dreamers
Reality came about
To fool us nonbelievers
I felt like a king
Inside the womb
I thought I'd find my home on the moon
Till I lost it all inside
Grown up's can't be kids
Baby clothes will never fit
Goodbye tomorrow!
