Lyrics
Four steps in the morning
Two steps in the day
Three steps in the evening
And the darkness is ablaze
And all the angels, sikhs, and soldiers
Come step to the parade
Run out like a cheetah
Monkey's in the blood
And what a piece of work is man
Who screams the name of love
But all his brothers, cousins, sisters
And others hear is fuzz
All night awake
In the moonlight I'm with you
In the moonlight I'm with you
Brighter than gold
Born on the horizon
Beaming through the sky
Some have seen what none can dream
But light calls it a lie
And all the sinners, saints and winners
Just wink and walk on by
But Brando's in the forest
Nancy's in the flood
The black swan makes a pirouette
The gods cry from above
And all the rain keeps falling
On bare feet in the mud
Come Northern nights from Norway
Come sunrise from the East
Come Wicked Witches in the West
We're South-bound with the beat
And all the lions, brides and preachers
Come down into the street
