The ancient Egytians
Had their pyramids
A crane in our own hometown
Is lifting a grid
We're moving so swiftly
On our great endeavor
So say that you missed it
More often than never
The Old World is lost
Beneath the flowers
Lies the cost
More often than never
How could it be
More often than never
The Incas of old
Had their feats of stone
Captains of commerce
Have suites all their own
We look up and comment
"Can this be forever?"
Love's just a moment now
More often than never
This too shall fall
More often than never
More often than not at all
The Old World is lost
Beneath the flowers
Lies the cost
The Old World is lost
Beneath the flowers
Lies the cost
How could it be
More often than never
More often than never
More often than never
More often than never
More often than never
More often than never
More often than never
This too shall fall
More often than never
More often than not at all
