Tip the hourgla** over / Listen to the chimes
The meter's runnin' and the pressure's risin'
Watch the numbers climb
Step out on the hometown stage
Tell the story / Turn the page
Hear the drummer coming near
Forever dancing through the years
Back then / That's when we sowed the seed
I want to be around to see the tree
Natural magic / Tragicomic force
This living river runs it's course
Share the laughter / Shed the tears
Forever dancing through the years
Thunder on the Babylon skyline
Sophisticated savages sniff the wind
Cling to clocks and calendars
We'll still be everything we've been
We are the shouts that ebb away
Echoes of our yesterday
Asking the answer to appear
Forever dancing through the years
Now the story's come of age
Close the chapter / Turn the page
Begin again the way is clear
Forever dancing through the years
Forever dancing through the years
Forever dancing through the years
Forever dancing through the years
