Here we stand again 

in the year of 1999. 

But you're so far 

but yet so close

and in the ancestral rays 

of the sun

We're passing time 

in the video store

remembering all the things 

that we were



but I've been pushed back 

to the cradle

though I believe I'm bigger now

although I'm lonely as a flower



In the alabaster lazy sun

never long time for the weeping

alabaster lazy sun 

in my day



and I swung the door wide open

yes I've done my deeds adorned

when I crashed into your building

and I hope you don't cry to long

huddled in debris land

but tommorow's perfect 

tommorow's Tuesday



In the alabaster lazy sun, 

never long time for the weeping

alabaster lazy sun 

in my day



but darlin' don't you weep

silver and gold

Aren't we lonely as a flower

climbing above these walls



Aren't we

Lonely as a flower

Climbing above these walls

let's forget these stupid buildings

come on my lover take the fall



In the alabaster lazy sun

never long time for the weeping

alabaster lazy sun 

in my day



I can remember when 

Rock n Roll was somewhat of a God

leaving us naked and so alive

but now it's 

just a two day masquerade

I guess I'll go 

to the corn fields and pray
