Towers tumbled – all the buildings crumbled
Volcanoes rumbled
Insurance salesman mumbled
Ballerians bumbled – all the heroes stumbled
Politicians fumbled
Suddenly a hand held out – take a ticket tout
It was a chart – it was a card
And those are your instructions
And what he offered in his hand
It was a diagram – master plan
A secret plan for your deduction
Crystals shatter – all the singers chatter
While the drums just clatter
Your silken raiment’s tatter
While all the poets chatter – “Oh, it doesn’t matter”
Please ignore the latter
Settle back you’re growing fatter
Oh you know you’ve got no conception
Well, you’re far out in space
I see you trying to trace a design
Of your heart on the stars
On the open ocean – like an open book
See the feeble fumble for a better look
See the sheep shake
In their sleep wake
Not an earthquake
Or a death wake
And all the while – through the testing and the trials
She smiles
Eternity smiles..
