Past special needs schools, past indoor swimming pools
Past eating animals, past motorcycles
Past a cemetary, past a retired person
Past a few Nazis and a shopping center.
And completly past the happiness,
Therefore: "Everyone back again!"
Past suburban taverns, past state elections,
past an Eastern revival, past red letters.
And completly past the happiness,
Therefore: "Everyone back again!"
Past a serial story column, past molecules.
past the horizon, past feelings of hatred
And completly past the happiness,
Therefore: "Everyone back again!"
And that happiness gladdens you and it calls:
"How beautiful, I've seen you here so often as I've sailed past.
Why don't you come and spend the rest of your time with me?"
We know the answer from the last time:
"We've been mistaken along the way,
but we're standing outside of your door just the same!"
We are on the way back,
on the way back to joy!
