GREAT JOY - Carola's Parotia Lyrics

Everybody quit
Six-wired bird in a courtship
Dances alone on a warship
Everybody split
Horse to the ballpit
Can lead the way, can't force it
Everybody's shit
Thrown in the sifter
Snake oil sale from the grifter
Now
Did you ever get the feeling like you're dancing on the edge of a cliff
Like you're dancing on the edge of a cliff
Come on

Everybody say cheese
Click and you frame that phase
Just so the kids can see
How the meteors blazed when you used to be
So brazen as to flee
Then the cops said freeze
And you quit your low down ways
And the clocks laid waste those days
When you used to get the feeling you were dancing on the edge of a cliff
Like you're dancing on the edge of a cliff
Come on

Is it over now
Or has it just begun

Though the wise men know that dark is right
It is time to fight the only fight
Iridescent plumage at the dawn
All the gods are waiting to delight
Though the wise men know that dark is right
It is time to fight the only fight
Iridescent plumage at the dawn
All the gods are waiting to delight

And some just fell
Searching a heaven in a chemical hell
Chasing a rabbit in a changing pelt
Running out of racks so they're running to the shelves
Focus pure as a crystal,
Well
All of the frames that they held so close
Lost in the claims of a drunken boast
Kids on the cliff of a bygone coast
Now only wind there whistles
Or is that the sound of falling missiles

This place is not for dancing
Its where they build their walls
I hesitate
I start to calculate my chances
And then I notice I could fall

But it is over now
Or will I heed the call

Though the wise men know that dark is right
It is time to fight the only fight
Iridescent plumage at the dawn
All the gods are waiting to delight
