Celebrationonelasttime
Feel the rhythm
rolling,rolling
don't stop now,
the bell is tolling
for your father for your son,
don't stop now you're almost done
grab a shovel,write a letter
dig a hole ,you're getting better
keep the rhyme
it's turning,turning
don't stop now
your world is burning
close your empty socket eyes
you can never see the prize
go climb a tree and light a fire
you must build a funeral pyre
on a mountain,by a wall
anywhere,
but through it all
let the beat
keep pounding,pounding
through your universe
resounding
tell a tale of some tomorrow
you can do it!
vanquish sorrow
kiss the photo of the martyr
it will make you so much smarter
don't stop now
the clock is ticking
feel the hoof beats
clicking,clicking
they are coming for your treasure
don't stop now
no time to measure
synchronize the seven sisters
dancing daughters
and their misters
in a final grand salute
to the children
you recruit
march them 'round the Maypole
quickly
some are dying,
some are sickly
keep the rhythm
keep the rhyme
celebration
one last
time
