The Great Pagoda Of Funn Lyrics

The Great Pagoda of Fun



The stars are bright tonight

the air
is sweet

though summer's over now

there's a strange new music in
the street

you and i

know the world can't be like this

it's
our love that makes it shine

girl

whatever trouble waits outside
these walls

safe inside this house of light

we make up our own
storyline



around the neighborhood

they stare and grin

as if they live their lives

just to help maintain the state we're
in

but when we fight

then those hungry wolves close in

we're
one thoughtless word away



from poison skies

and severed
heads

and pain and lies

so follow me

i'll hold you tight

we'll build a life together

in the great pagoda of funn



this magic soon will fade

without a doubt

we'll have to work my
love

just to keep the flame from going out

'cause if we fail

then these walls will fall away

and we'll find we're in the realm



of psycho-moms

and dying stars

and dirty bombs

please follow me 

and hold me tight

we'll build a world
together

in the great pagoda of funn
