Just Once in the World

Lyrics
Found the throughline For all humankind If given the time They’ll blow up or walk on the moon It’s just what they do For personal gain On Thanksgiving Day I joined the parade I stood at the top of the float And threw out a rose Watched a blast from the past Indigenous dance Started to laugh And then I just started to cry This world is waving goodbye So cut a rug, let’s throw a party Birthday cards for everyone Swallow hard and say you’re sorry Just admit what you have done I studied your work Like architecture Cathedral of words The meaning’s not easy to tell Comes back around on itself Admirers, your biographer The odometer There’s no way to turn back the clock It’s going to run until it stops So excited to play Turned up all the way Electric, ecstatic, psychotic Jumped into the drums Was pandemonium
