Where's the kid who climbed this greater height |
|
Who gave the older and wiser a wink of the eye |
|
Then a graceful departure |
|
Who's ambition sold our best foot forward and back |
|
With a candid and smiling attack |
|
And a brain full of wonder |
|
All the celebration, the cathedral and choir and machine |
|
Are a blanket wrapped up in a kid |
|
With a mouth full of praises |
|
So long, may your lemmings tumble down |
|
And bury deep your sill little town |
|
Babe brought up the belly of the whale |
|
So you know that we're the kids who made up |
|
A divided supply of the land and a culture that waved the hand of a generation |
|
You can grow against our side of saliva |
|
So long, may your lemmings tumble down |
|
And bury deep your sill little town |
|
Babe brought up the belly of the whale |
|
And the kid said |
|
So long, it's complicated but this engine hummed along |
|
To the groan of how man made it so resistibly slow, and so long |
|
It's complicated but babe delivered us the belly of the whale |
