Across the desserts and seas,
An calming melody plays...
Da da da da...
Across gardens of, seemingly, eternal happiness,
A rarity occurs...
Wo man Wow man
Beside his bedpost, kneeling down to pet his lover,
Life still goes on...
"I just *ove you. I just *ove you. I just *ove you"
Underground,
The rich prince shouts...
"The Plague is here! Prospero! It's here"
And who waits for them all to turn?
A deity, an apparition, a mother...
"The instinct rises! The fire rises!"
And, after it's gone...
The calming melody still plays...
Dove dove dove...
