SPRING WAS NEVER
WAITING FOR US STILL
IT RAN ONE STEP AHEAD
AS WE FOLLOWED
IN THE DANCE
MACARTHUR'S PARK
IS MELTING IN THE DARK
ALL THE SWEET GREEN
ICING BLOWING DOWN
SOMEONE LEFT THE
CAKE OUT IN THE RAIN
I DON'T THINK THAT
I CAN TAKE IT
'CAUSE IT TOOK SO LONG
TO BAKE IT
AND I'LL NEVER HAVE
THAT RECIPE AGAIN
AGAIN AH HA
I RECALL THE YELLOW
COTTON DRESS
FOAMING LIKE A WAVE
ON THE GROUND
BENEATH YOUR KNEES
BIRDS LIKE TENDER
BABIES IN YOUR HANDS
AND THE OLD MEN
PLAYING CHINESE
CHECKERS
BY THE TREES
MACARTHUR'S PARK
IS MELTING IN THE DARK
ALL THE SWEET GREEN
ICING BLOWING DOWN
SOMEONE LEFT THE
CAKE OUT IN THE RAIN
I DON'T THINK THAT
I CAN TAKE IT
'CAUSE IT TOOK SO LONG
TO BAKE IT
AND I'LL NEVER HAVE
THAT RECIPE AGAIN
AGAIN HA HA
MACARTHUR'S PARK
IS MELTING IN THE DARK
