The 5th Dimension - Dreams/Pax/Nepenthe lyrics
[The 5th Dimension - Dreams/Pax/Nepenthe lyrics]
The carousels were stopping
(The horses had stopped rocking)
(Someone said, "How shocking")
And in the concrete street
The rain was falling (All over Susan)
As she was crying
A kitten stepped upon the keys
While I composed this song
(It held a note too long)
(And made a chord sound wrong)
And somewhere in my mind
The dark was waiting (For Susan's laughter)
And shortly after
Someone asked me why my eyes were shining
"Smoggy, " I replied quite gaily
They all nodded knowingly
Then I walked around the house
To get the last words straight
(Eternity must wait, I'll be a little late)
And I can see the cobweb shadows falling
(All over Susan) like lacquered lace
All over Susan's face
