Macarthur Park
Donna Summer Spring was never waiting for us, girl It ran one step ahead As we followed in the dance Between the parted pages and were pressed, Like a striped pair of pants In love's hot, fevered iron MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark All the sweet, green icing flowing down... Someone left the cake out in the rain I don't think that I can take it And I'll never have that recipe again 'cause it took so long to bake it Oh, no! I recall the yellow cotton dress Foaming like a wave And the old men playing checkers by the trees The birds, like tender babies in your hands On the ground around your knees There will be another song for me There will be another dream for me For I will sing it Someone will bring it And never let you catch me looking at the sun I will drink the wine while it is warm You'll still be the one. And after all the loves of my life After all the loves of my life I will take my life into my hands and I will use it I will have the things that I desire I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it And my passion flow like rivers through the sky. And after all the loves of my life After all the loves of my life I'll be thinking of you And wondering why. All the sweet, green icing flowing down... MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark I don't think that I can take it Someone left the cake out in the rain 'cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again Oh, no! Oh, no No, no Oh NO |
