lyrics

Here is our final ornament, glassy and prismatic
obtained by my private contact at the Park of the Mysteries
it's always a little warmer than the surrounding air
a thrilling sensation emanates, like hissing cicadas

On hot summer nights it attracts magnificent
be-robed be-snouted figures
silently circling around and around and
we have never seen a bug nor bird alight upon it
no we've never seen a bug or bird alight upon it.

The figures depart at sunrise, here you can see their tracks
smell the peculiar fragrance they leave behind
and that's one reason why we keep it locked up
in this private court and only show it
to our special favored guests LIKE YOU!

We believe it could be a shortcut
to the Marvelous Land that we've all heard of
And that's why we're meeting at high noon
to soak in the Hyena Hot Spring
and once the waters have taken effect
we'll come back here and wait
for further instructions from our experts
who have assured us: "IT'LL BE FUN!"
Our experts assure us: "YOU CAN BE ONE!"
Our experts...our experts...

Only just learned of ‘Singin’ to God’ and have been listening to it on repeat - alternating with Tim Smith’s original - every day for the last week. What a beautiful tribute to him and so brilliantly executed. Hats off to all involved in this breathtaking recreation. A real achievement. thsmusic
