Greatness holds itself up and
The presents are all wrapped
When there was time to love
Was when everything was alright
I see the horizon with its brilliance
She ended up keeping all of it
Where I am left with only a stamp n' a letter
But life could not get any better
No, life could not get any better

Swing on, swing through, drink the rest of my *****
We got enough money for the rest of the hour
Swing front and swing back
As you can see, I've already lost track
Where I was going I never did rightly know
The only road worth knowing
Is the one where you get lost
Each pebble in hand is one I desire to toss

If you've found someone else let me know
These minutes that tick by run me through
Like a glimmering dagger
I'm crippled, there is nothing I can do
How you swore to me underneath that moonlight
With milk splattered cascading stars
How you made me think all would be right
In that infamous, shadowy night

But the treasons of reason never eluded me
I could see through them like crystal
Who said we were all inherently good?
The cross is heavy though they used the best wood
A telling promise of the world at large
The battle cry has sounded, but there is no charge
Lost at sea by boat with no anchor
A thousand pens but no paper
