The night is sinking, and I'm in need of a song There were birds in the ceiling, talking about feelings all summer long Celestial bodies beam down on casinos Our fathers still cling to their obsolete ethos You built your house with the world burning down around you Now that I think of it, I guess that's what we all do I wanna build a new house, high atop a mountain Where you'll lock me in your kindness and never let me out again Let a bird be a bird, let a train be a train Let the sky be the sky, let the rain be the rain Let a curse be a curse, let a blessing be a blessing Death alone is certain, but life is a beautiful question
