Just Once in the World 歌詞

Found the throughline For all humankind If given the time They'll blow up or walk on the Moon It's just what they do For personal gain On thanksgiving day I joined the parade I stood at the top of the float And threw out a rose Watched a blast from the past Indigenous dance Started to laugh And then I just started to cry This world is waving goodbye So cut a rug, let's throw a party Birthday cards for everyone Swallow hard and say you're sorry Just admit what you have done I've studied your work Like architecture Cathedral of words The meaning's not easy to tell Comes back 'round on itself Admirers, your biographer The odometer There's no way to turn back the clock It's gonna run till it stops So excited to play Turned up all the way Electric, ecstatic, psychotic Jumped into the drums Was pandemonium So if it's time, let's go together I will be your ballast now Let's sail into that stormy weather No matter how it turns out I just want to stand by your side (stand by your side) When everyone calls you a lie I'll be your shield (be your shield) There's still some truth worth defending Let's stroll to the edge of the cliff (here am I, exposed) Stop here and give me a kiss Now we're walking on air (pretend I'm there) There's no hell beneath our feet If it ever occurred Just once in the world A love as absurd as ours I would scream what we lost From the mountaintop
