[ACT I - MacArthur Park]
[Verse 1]
Spring was never waiting for us 'til
It ran one step ahead
As we followed in the dance
Between the parted pages
We were pressed
In love's hot, fevered iron
Like a striped pair of pants
[Chorus]
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh no
[Verse 2]
I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave
On the ground beneath your knees
Birds like tender babies in your hands
And the old men playing
Chinese checkers by the trees
[Verse 1]
Spring was never waiting for us 'til

In love's hot, fevered iron
Like a striped pair of pants

All the sweet green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it

And I'll never have that recipe again

I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave
On the ground beneath your knees
Birds like tender babies in your hands
And the old men playing
Chinese checkers by the trees
