lyrics

Put little springs and cogs in the landscape
so it can work for you.
Travel cross country in an express bus
though fields of green
look over yonder there's a father figure
caught in the midst of a dream.

If you see sparrows in a shoe box gather
looking for a song and dance
rest it on a laurel tree draped up like Christmas
haven't seen your loved ones for the longest time
ever since you came down with song

Miracles are easy when the holidays pass.
Click on that memory again.
Made down payment on a three day week
lucky how often Sunday repeats
the rest of it is always the same
with February thrown in for free.

Drawn by car new show biz lawyer
mercurial descent into the dream.
It messes up the flatness of the picture frame
put little springs and cogs in the landscape
so it can work for you
travel cross country in an express bus
look over yonder though fields of green
there's a father figure turning
in the midst of a dream
