[Verse 1]
Locked in a struggle for the right combination
Of words in a melody line
I took a walk along the riverbank of my imagination
Golden clouds were shuffling the sunshine
[Chorus 1]
But if I ever get back to the twentieth century
I guess I'll have to pay off some debts
Open the book of my vanishing memory
With its catalogue of regrets
Stand up for the deeds I did
And those I didn't do
Sit down, shut up, think about God
And wait for the hour of my rescue
[Bridge]
We don't mean to mess things up, but mess them up we do
And then it's "oh, I'm sorry"
Here's a smiling photograph of love when it was new
At a birthday party
Make a wish and close your eyes
Surprise, surprise, surprise
[Verse 2]
Early December and brown as a sparrow
Frost creeping over the pond
I shoot a thought into the future and it flies like an arrow
Through my lifetime and beyond
Locked in a struggle for the right combination
Of words in a melody line
I took a walk along the riverbank of my imagination
Golden clouds were shuffling the sunshine
[Chorus 1]
But if I ever get back to the twentieth century
I guess I'll have to pay off some debts
Open the book of my vanishing memory
With its catalogue of regrets
Stand up for the deeds I did
And those I didn't do
Sit down, shut up, think about God
And wait for the hour of my rescue
[Bridge]
We don't mean to mess things up, but mess them up we do
And then it's "oh, I'm sorry"
Here's a smiling photograph of love when it was new
At a birthday party
Make a wish and close your eyes
Surprise, surprise, surprise
[Verse 2]
Early December and brown as a sparrow
Frost creeping over the pond
I shoot a thought into the future and it flies like an arrow
Through my lifetime and beyond
