Coda

Sculpted clay, paper scraps
 Bits of wood, old belt straps
 Everyone is looking for their friend
 Hearts, balloons and broken wings
 Puppet dangling by his strings
 And dreams of who is at the other end
 And we are working upon this canvas
 And it is perfect
 And it is madness
 We are only just beginning
 We're only just beginning
 To unearth this ancient sadness
 See them scurry and toil
 Watch them sift through the soil
 Something very large is burried in this ground
 Yes, they've torn the surface all apart
 Never even glimpsed the heart
 They're going to have to go much deeper down
 And we are working upon this canvas
 And it is perfect
 And it is madness
 But we are only just beginning
 We're only just beginning
 To unearth this ancient sadness
 They've packed up the tents and stages
 Put the lions back in cages
 Yes, the carnival is over for the year
 And it's sad to watch the party end
 But I'm still looking for my friend
 And oh, some how she's never been so near
 And we are working upon this canvas
 And it is perfect
 Perfect madness
 But we are only just beginning
 We're only just beginning
 To unearth this ancient sadness
 We are only just beginning
 We're only just beginning
 Only just beginning
 We've only just begun
 And hearts will fly
 Only just beginning
 And hearts begin to fly
 Only just beginning
 And hearts begin to fly
