Here we stand again in the year of 1999. But you're so far but yet so close and in the ancestral rays of the sun We're passing time in the video store remembering all the things that we were but I've been pushed back to the cradle though I believe I'm bigger now although I'm lonely as a flower In the alabaster lazy sun never long time for the weeping alabaster lazy sun in my day and I swung the door wide open yes I've done my deeds adorned when I crashed into your building and I hope you don't cry to long huddled in debris land but tommorow's perfect tommorow's Tuesday In the alabaster lazy sun, never long time for the weeping alabaster lazy sun in my day but darlin' don't you weep silver and gold Aren't we lonely as a flower climbing above these walls Aren't we Lonely as a flower Climbing above these walls let's forget these stupid buildings come on my lover take the fall In the alabaster lazy sun never long time for the weeping alabaster lazy sun in my day I can remember when Rock n Roll was somewhat of a God leaving us naked and so alive but now it's just a two day masquerade I guess I'll go to the corn fields and pray (c) 2002 Island Def Jam Music Group
