lyrics

In the time it took

the newlyweds

to compromise

to make their beds

the owl flew

The guards rearranged their positions

the stars underwent significant transitions

and the sages knew

they'd done all they could do

They sent each other off

With a shaking head and a chiseled cough

Then they sent each other off

Stop watch stopped, luggage lost

How long can you stand by

relentless sun swarming flies

Anticipating evolution sleep in your eyes

Who will give back your prize

Crooked crown oversized?

They sent each other off

With a shaking head and a chiseled cough

Then they sent each other off

Stop watch stopped, luggage lost
