Gimme, gimme a C, give me the note
(Jim, are you rolling?)
(Ok he's rolling)
One, two, three, four

The diamond necklace played the pawn
Hand in hand some drummed along, oh
To a handsome man and baton

(What'd you say?)
You popped
Oh I'm sorry
You don't have to get that close
One, two, three, four
The diamond
Three, four
The diamond necklace played the pawn
Hand in-
Ok I'll have to pick it up from right there Jim, we'll make a splice
Here we go, I gotta get the lyrics first, wait a minute, no wait no I-

Hung velvet o-
One more time
Take 5

Hung velvet overtaken me
Dim chandelier awaken me
To a song dissolved in the dawn
One more I gotta take a deeper breath

One, two, three, four

Dove nested towers the hour was
Strike the street quicksilver moon
Carriage across the fog
Two-Step to lamp lights cellar tune
The laughs come hard in Auld Lang Syne

One more time
You know something?
I'd better do the whole song and the intro
Two, three, four

The diamond necklace played the pawn
Hand in hand some drummed along, oh
To a handsome man and baton
A blind class aristocracy
Back through the opera glass you see
The pit and the pendulum drawn
Columnated ruins domino

Two, three, four

Hung velvet overtaken me
Dim chandelier awaken me
To a song dissolved in the dawn
The music hall a costly bow
The music all is lost for now
To a muted trumpeter swan
Columnated ruins domino
Canvas the town and brush the backdrop
Are you sleeping, Brother John?

Dove nested towers the hour was
Strike the street quicksilver moon
Carriage across the fog
Two-Step to lamp lights cellar tune
The laughs come hard in Auld Lang Syne
The glass was raised, the fired rose
The fullness of the wine, the dim last toasting
While at port adieu or die

A choke of grief heart hardened, I
Beyond belief, a broken man too tough to cry

Surf's Up
Aboard a tidal wave
Come about hard and join
The young and often spring you gave
I heard the word
Wonderful thing
A children's song

Let's hear that
