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

It started out so nice

Genji taught Orion

Sea-purple harmony

While Kogi hide secrets into seashells

And even the ocean laughed

Beneath that celestial canopy

'Cause 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

It started out so nice

We started out so nice.
