Lyrics

The other day they waited The sky was dark and faded Solemnly they stated He has to die, you know he has to die And all the children learnin' From books that they were burnin' Every leaf was turnin' To watch him die, you know he has to die The summer sun looked down on him His mother could but frown on him And all the others sound on him But it doesn't seem to matter And when the day had ended With rainbow colors blended His mind remained unbended He had to die, you know he had to die Spanish lady come to me She lays on me this rose It rainbow spiral round and round It trembles and explodes It left a smoking crater of my mind I like to blow away But the heat came 'round and busted me For smiling on a cloudy day Comin', comin', comin' around Comin' around in a circle Comin', comin', comin' around Comin' around in a circle Skippin' through the lily fields I came across an empty space It trembled and exploded Left a bus stop in it's place The bus came by and I got on That's when it all began There was cowboy Neal at the wheel Of the bus to never ever land Comin', comin', comin' around Comin' around in a circle Comin', comin', comin' around Comin' around in a circle And when the day had ended With rainbow colors blended His minds remained unbended He had to die, he had to die He had to die, he had to die He had to die, you know he had to die He had to die, oh, you know he had to die
