Derelict Sun - A Day and Twelve Years Lyrics

Floated down a river, arm in arm
Made eye contact with a headless man
Shot down the mice, yet did no harm
At ten o'clock, when the day began

Walked around the world in about an hour
Repeatedly flew up and down a tower
Said hi to the stars on the ice
And laughed at the men being bad guys

When the man of stone is looking proud
And we are laughing often and loud
All smiles and never shed any tears
A day is as good as twelve years

Watched a mexican deal an ace
Found that boring and flew to space
But there were coming more and more
So we walked through the backdoor
And who could forget the ghost ship
With the man and his torn jeans
We turned so fast, he almost slipped
You gotta be careful with these machines

Never mind the father watching from the bridge
He always knew that this would make us rich
All smiles, despite the age, no fears
A day will be as good as twelve years
