Intro: Verse: Who might know the passage of a goddess? What might make these mortal lives aware? Well she might be the poet in the corner store Or the catholic girl or the two bit whore When the children sing they know everything But they don’t know the joy that your name may bring And still they sing Ah ah ah ahhhhh ahhh Ah ah ah ahhhh ah Ah ah ah ah ah ahhhh Verse: And when the ship that sails upon our ocean Sets sail for the center of our sun Well it just might make our mornings that much brighter And her fingertips of rose might light on everyone But they won't touch the bums on the avenue Or the killer on the corner but they might touch you When the children sing they know everything But they don’t know the joy that your name may bring And still they sing Ah ah ah ahhhhh ahhh Ah ah ah ahhhh ah Ah ah ah ah ah ahhhh Verse: And if the wise men come to pay you homage When the law comes knocking on your door Well tell them that you're sleeping Thinking very deeply Run away and hide in the chapel dawn BREAK: Smile, like you smiled for me Dance, through the mist with me Turn your head so you might not see the pain Of a goddess alone in the rain When the children sing they know everything But they don’t know the joy that your name may bring And still they sing OUTRO: Still they sing Still they sing Still they sing Still they sing Still they sing Still they sing Still they sing Still they sing Still they sing Still they sing Still they sing Still they sing Still they sing Still they sing Still they sing Still they sing Still they sing Still they sing - FADE OUT
