In the jingle jangle morning,
Though I know the evening's empire
left me blindly here to stand
and the ancient empty streets
upon your magic swirling ship
My senses have been stripped
My hands can't feel to grip
Wait only for my boot heels
I'm ready to go anywhere,
cast your dancing spell my way
I promise to go wander it
Though you might hear laughing,
It's just skipping on the rhyme
But for this guy there are no
And if you hear vague traces
of skipping reels of rhyme
To your tambourine in time
It's just a ragged clown behind
I wouldn't pay it any mind
It's just a shadow you're seeing
through the smoke rings of my mind
down the foggy ruins of time
for past the frozen leaves
far from the twisted bridge of crazy sorrow
With one hand waving free
Circled by the circus sands
With old memory and faith
Driven deep beneath the waves
Let me forget about today
I'm not sleepy and there ain't
In the jingle jangle morning,
