lyrics

Four Fifty-One C. von Sneidern

In the beginning before the sun would go down

The circle spins while pieces fall to the ground

A dream creates the darkest semblance of thought

then someone rattles my door, oh!

ch:

She's twenty-five; A cartoon magazine of your mind, girl

I'm ninety-five; I speak but can't remember my lines now

She's thirty-three with a mind to swinging in time on the vine, girl

One hundred three; the colors glow in the heat of the blood flow

Two hundred twelve; I'm boiling tea and meeting my wife, girl

Four fifty-one; who set the fire that died in the night, girl?

In between the time that I came and you went

I forgot to read the little note you had sent

"Four scones and seven cups of joe," writ as read

Our founding fathers should have stayed in bed

chorus

The planet spun but slowly groans to a halt

"We're very sorry, sir," she said, "it's your fault."

and in the end a sleeping cat in the sun

has better dreams than anyone
