Hello old lovers of mine My little boy wishes Of fortune's kisses Now dreams cast aside In the fading light Your crown of thorns Becomes a halo Of branching horns And yet so beautiful I see you gently swaying In a sea of seesaws Slumming in the shack Tony built last year I know you'll be holding Court with jackdaws Crying when nobody Ever sees your tears When no one sees your tears What used to fly us from here To the stratosphere? What became of our passion Is there no one who cares? Hear the soft minor key Of the one-time me Still the acrobat With my heart on my sleeve And it's so beautiful I see you gently swaying In a sea of seesaws Slumming in the shack Tony built last year I know you'll be holding Court with jackdaws Crying when nobody Ever sees your tears When no one sees your tears [Coda] Out back When the gates are closed (9 fret) Like a pitiful skeleton pose We held our first line of defense Saw our likeness (9 fret) And it made no sense Toy soldiers in the muck and dirt (9 fret) Salvation in your every word Lost in the fray of everyday I see you gently swaying In a sea of seesaws Slumming in the shack Tony built last year I know you'll be holding Court with jackdaws Crying when nobody Ever sees your tears When no one sees your tears You're still fighting, I see Like a modern day Bruce Lee Standing proud in this parody
