At the top of the world 

There is a half-year sun 

The water's all froze 

And one thousand men old 

On the side of the hill 

There are no wanting eyes 

But you're a spectacle a spinning doll 

Now the hour is fading but ours is staying 

Its all syncopated to your heart's hard heartbeat time 

You may never miss a sign 



At the base of your skull 

I've got a place there still 

All my clothes spread out aI was just thinking most of last Wednesday 

I hope we're together from here until Doomsday 

We could be each other's arms 

Keep each other free from harm 

Because when it's all stripped to the bone 

My life is at home 



Spring cleaning's coming as we lose the cold weather 

Put away your long johns and all your thick sweaters 

We'll cut off all our winter hair 

Sit out on the lawn chairs 

As the sun forgets that we're here 

We forget our career 



All the lukewarm weeks at sixty degrees 

We're hoping it's humid show our summer knees 

Once in a lifetime once in a while the sun will shine on me 

Thursday I'm leaving skip town I'm running 

It's cars and new faces and jokes that aren't funny 

But we laugh at them anyway 

I'd do anything just to kill the day 

No matter how far that I go I'm not so far away 

All the lukewarm weeks at sixty degrees 

We're hoping it's humid show our summer knees 

Once in a lifetime once in a while the sun will shine on me 

All the humid nights parked under streetlights 

My baby's riding shotgun in her knee high tights 

She looks like heaven I feel like the devil 

In my Sunday whites 



As I slowly better my craft 

I'm still a ghost of my better half 

Cos once in awhile the sun shines on me 

In a permanent row 



Now the hour is fading but ours is staying 

It's all syncopated to your hearts hard heartbeat time 

We will never not get together 

We will never not get too old 

The water's all frozen one 



And I've got a place there still 

And we will not get too old
