Here we stand again In the year 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 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 tomorrow's perfect Tomorrow's Tuesday In the alabaster lazy sun Never long time for the weepin' Alabaster lazy sun In my day Alabaster lazy sun Never long time for the weepin' 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 the walls Well 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 Alabaster lazy sun Never long time for the weeping Alabaster lazy sun In my day In my day My day 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
