| Lyrics: | Thirty odd years before on some grass covered wasteland,
A boy is observed on his own who is
watching and playing.
He's just made a pact with himself,
If that rabbit over
there
Doesn't go down yonder hole,
Let the ground beneath him disappear.
And it runs on
past,
Fades away in the distance
But the earth doesn't move, nobody thought that it
would.
He makes bets and pledges again and again.
Sometimes he wins, sometimes he loses, no
matter,
Some might call him stupid
To tempt fate in this way,
But he really does believe
in it
Each time the rules are made
There he goes again,
'If I never fall for a lady then
Let me famous, let me be wise -'
Now this one I like,
It has a different
ring,
Instead of something trivial
That's a serious undertaking.
So I say to you,
This time I think I'll act,
I'll be a witness to this
contract,
I'll settle everything.
So if you should ever fall in love
You'll not only not be wise,
You'll lose your memory and most of your mind
And I've never been known to lie...
And now he's not really sure if he truly heard
someone,
So what if he did, he thinks, for nothing will happen,
Though he seems to shrug it
off
He won't play that game again,
Forever morning after the night before
When even one
drop would cause pain.
And the years go by.
The incident is all but forgotten by one
But
the other who lives it remembers that innocent fun. |
