Lyrics

March (album version)

I like the stand the tall palms take
Reaching up for back to the primitive days
I like the stand in the sand the way of
The waves all willing to take me in
I’d like to see good fortune’s face
But I did I was wishing for just a taste
Something sweet and minted
Pennies that stay on tight on my eyes

But it’s March now
It’s the shiny time
You’ve got to march in time

I’d like the world I never knew
It never was except for you
I’d like to be the rescuee
Just like the part you wrote for me
Your ink too orange and leaking through
Who could gaze the coals we’ve walked into
We swagger tough and bluff and stuff
But still enough is not enough

But it’s March now
It’s the shiny time
You’ve got to march in time

I’d like to lie on a raft and moving fast
The good times all spinning past and
Fancy draped in beaded gown
My fingers dripping as night comes down

I guess I’ll float with the truncated heads
And think this through even though when I’m dead I’ll
Never say enough is enough
This is just the way the rainbow looks
Close up

But it’s March now
It’s the shiny time
You’ve got to march in time

Oh it’s March now
It’s the shiny time
You’ve got to march in time

Oh it’s March now
It’s the shiny time
You’ve got to march in time

Oh it’s March now

Antelope (album version)

Antelope tramped into town
Twin sons Bravado and Despair (and Despair)
Tiny sounds followed him around
All through the evening air

He didn’t realize
That time keeps passing on and on and on and on
Hours un-synchronize
Forty years in forty years are gone and on and on and on

In the smallest room I’ll think of snow and
Seal my chilly envelope around you
While the dusk settles in you know
Some unheard of antelopes without you

Heliotrope behind thick glass
I’d like to take you there some day (some day)
South Dakota comes with icy grass
When the painted backdrop molds away

You never realize
Time keeps passing on and on and on and on
Memory solidifies
Twenty years in twenty years are gone

In the smallest room I think of snow
And seal my chilly envelope around you
You can see you’re only free to go
Your sky un-cloudy antelopes without you

Antelope sloped out of town
Twin sons Bravado and Despair (and Despair)
Bells are ringing in the underground
All through the evening air

We never realized
While watching time pass on and on and on and on
We never realized
Until the wolves stopped howling
What was going on and on and on

In the smallest room I think of snow
Seal my chilly envelope around you
While the dusk settles in you know
Some unheard of antelopes without you
