Long live the vibrating string
Long live the rollercoaster wave
Long live the echoing phrase
Long live the melodies strain

Down with the all-knowing smile
(sing a sound, verb or noun, start a fire, you couldn't burn it down)
Down with the darkening day
(sing a sound, verb or noun, start a fire, you couldn't burn it down)
Down with the vacuous sun
(sing a sound, verb or noun, start a fire, you couldn't burn it down)
Down with the mapping of space
(sing a sound, verb or noun, start a fire, you couldn't burn it down)

Lose your fear of the spinning sphere
Winter's almost over, and spring is near
Lose your fear of the spinning sphere
Summer's almost over, but autumn's near

Long live the troubadour's song
(sing a sound, verb or noun, cause a flood, you couldn't make it drown)
Long live the wood and the wire
(sing a sound, verb or noun, cause a flood, you couldn't make it drown)
Down with the knife-wielding wind
(sing a sound, verb or noun, cause a flood, you couldn't make it drown)
Down with the all-knowing smile
(sing a sound, verb or noun, cause a flood, you couldn't make it drown)

Lose your fear of the spinning sphere
Winter's almost over, and spring is near
Lose your fear of the spinning sphere
Summer's almost over, and autumn's near

The thoughts in your head come bright and clear
Winter's almost over, and spring is near
The thoughts in your head come bright and clear
Summer's almost over, but autumn's near

Lose your fear of the spinning sphere
Winter's almost over, and spring is near
The thoughts in your head, they come bright and clear
Winter's almost over, and spring is near
A picture in a frame of everyone you hold dear
Winter's almost over, and spring is near

Lose your fear of the spinning sphere
Summer's almost over, but autumn's near
The thoughts in your head, they come bright and clear
Summer's almost over, but autumn's near
A picture in a frame of everyone you hold dear
Summer's almost over, but autumn's near
