Dive into yesterday, dive into yesterday
Dive into yesterday

Now since his disappearance through the smoke rings of our time
While the plaster jester is speaking out of tune
In moonlight swimming madness deep within Aladdin's cave
But with good old diamonds dancing, we can all smile too soon

Oh, swing and sway, the patterns say
Time sign out and please

Dive into yesterday, dive into yesterday
Dive into yesterday

Kaleidoscopic tambourines are tickling your ears
While the tiny goldfish all swim amongst the air
The Mardi Gras at midnight, the songs tumbling in sound
While Sh-Sh-Shakespeare floats with wild roses in his head

Oh, swing and sway, the patterns say
Time sign out and please

Relax your eyes, for after all
We can but share these minutes

Battalions in navy blue are bursting beige balloons
The water pistols are all filled with lemonade
The jester and the goldfish have joined minds above the moon
Oh, please kiss the flowers and you too will be safe

Oh, swing and sway, the patterns say
Time sign out and please

Dive into yesterday, dive into yesterday
Dive into yesterday, oh
