Shall we begin? 
Gather round, gather all: 
Keep it real, strip it down 
Rather not wait around 
With the Hungry Eyes of a snake-oil salesman 
Wait/Hurry 
Water to wine 
Have got the patience
Haven't got the time 
Saw Dusty Eyes some enthused 
Some act the part 
(But nonetheless, plan to lose) 
Something wicked-good this way comes 
Not twice upon a lifetime 

Blackbirds you watch 'em
They know the black clouds 
They are all runnin' home 
Lightning rod (divining toy)  

When the rains come, what is your source for joy? 
Looked at my life: a painted clown 
Un-amused 
Keep it real, strip it down 
Rather not wait around 
With the Hungry Eyes of a snake oil salesman 

Blackbirds you watch 'em
They know the black clouds 
They are all runnin' home 
Lightning rod (divining toy) 

Home, home. 
They are all runnin' home.
