Spring was never waiting for us, girl It ran one step ahead As we followed
in the dance Between the parted pages and were pressed, In love's hot,
fevered iron Like a striped pair of pants
CHORUS MacArthur's Park
is melting in the dark All the sweet, green icing flowing 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 Oh,
no!
I recall the yellow cotton dress Foaming like a wave On the
ground around your knees The birds, like tender babies in your hands And
the old men playing checkers by the trees
CHORUS
There will be another song for me For I
will sing it There will be another dream for me Someone will bring it I
will drink the wine while it is warm And never let you catch me looking at
the sun And after all the loves of my life After all the loves of my
life You'll still be the one.
I will take my life into my hands and I
will use it I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it I will
have the things that I desire And my passion flow like rivers through the
sky. And after all the loves of my life After all the loves of my
life I'll be thinking of you And wondering why.

no Oh NO!! (upon which Harris suffers an irreversible gender change)
