Behind nodding sighs and hushed 
Whispers, 
The Masonic...

But a strange change happens
at early nightfall
in those stuffy rooms and halls
and it suddenly becomes clear
all was not as it seemed
old folks transformed

dreams to capture the viewer's point of view,

I wanna tell you a story about a little girl
A beautiful sweet little girl
who enjoys living in her

hopscotching to the beat of 
her own drum

Ah, confidence, 
my dear old friends, 
my bosom buddy,
when there'd be loose ends 
when things get muddy,
who'll take the credit,

ah,...

For the man of my dreams, my soul confides.
