It Started Out So Nice

It started out with butterflies
 On a velvet afternoon
 With flashing eyes and promises
 Caught and held too soon
 In a place called Ixea
 With it's pumpkin oval moon
 Genji taught Orion
 Sea-purple harmony
 While Kogi hit secrets into seashells
 And even the ocean laughed
 beneath that celestial canopy
 Cuz it started out so nice
 With the dust of stars they intermingled
 Durock of Avon would only jingle
 Marble money tunes
 As pale earthly circles swooned
 Volume left Bohemia, a triangle for his thumb
 Questions fell but no one stopped to listen
 That eternity was just a dawn away
 And the rest was sure to come
 Leaves, caught in winter's ice
 Abandoned circus grounds of flower captains
 Prisms in a palm one way it happens
 The air was silver calm
 The softly met were slowly moving on
 Then all things in common suddenly grew strange
 Now the Wurs were chasing other rainbows
 Trying to find where the wind blows
 To empty corners past dusty memories
 Now in the third millennium the crowded madness came
 Crooked shadows roamed through the nights
 The wizards overplayed their names
 And after that the Wurs never bothered to have
 Summer reasons... again,
 but it started out so nice
 We started out so nice.
