It Started Out So Nice |
| It started out with butterflies |
| On a velvet afternoon |
| With flashing eyes and promises |
| Caught and held too soon |
| In a place called Ixea |
| With it’s pumpkin oval moon |
| It started out so nice |
| Genji taught Orion |
| Sea-purple harmony |
| While Kogi hit secrets into seashells |
| And even the ocean laughed |
| Beneath that celestial canopy |
| Cuz it started out so nice |
| With the dust of stars they intermingled |
| Durock of Avon would only jingle |
| Marble money tunes |
| As pale earthly circles swooned |
| Volume left Bohemia, a triangle for his thumb |
| Questions fell but no one stopped to listen |
| That eternity was just a dawn away |
| And the rest was sure to come |
| Leaves, caught in winter’s ice |
| Abandoned circus grounds of flower captains |
| Prisms in a palm one way it happens |
| The air was silver calm |
| The softly met were slowly moving on |
| Then all things in common suddenly grew strange |
| Now the Wurs were chasing other rainbows |
| Trying to find where the wind blows |
| To empty corners past dusty memories |
| Now in the third millennium the crowded madness came |
| Crooked shadows roamed through the nights |
| The wizards overplayed their names |
| And after that the Wurs never bothered to have |
| Summer reasons… again |
| But it started out so nice |
| It started out so nice |
| We started out so nice |
