Goodbye and Hello Tim Buckley

[Verse 1]
The antique people are down in the dungeons
Run by machines and afraid of the tax
Their heads in the grave and their hands on their eyes
Hauling their hearts around circular tracks
Pretending forever their masquerade towers
Are not really riddled with widening cracks
And I wave goodbye to iron
And smile hello to the air

[Chorus 1]
O the new children dance, I am young
All around the balloons, I will live
Swaying by chance, I am strong
To the breeze from the moon, I can give
Painting the sky, you the strange
With the colors of sun, seed of day
Freely they fly, feel the change
As all become one, know the way
Know the way

[Verse 2]
The velocity addicts explode on the highways
Ignoring the journey and moving so fast
Their nerves fall apart and they gasp but can't breathe
They run from the cops of the skeleton past
Petrified by tradition, in a nightmare they stagger
Into nowhere at all and they look up aghast
And I wave goodbye to speed
And smile hello to a rose
