I walked down to the ruins
on a day the grey sky moaned
I heard a love song from a broken mandolin
the professor of hearts and diamonds let out a groan
manuscripts were abandoned to the wind
there was no me - there was no you
all that was left was a bone-white view

When the final plan is set before you
tell me exactly what it is you're gonna do

If I asked you for the bare essentials
what, I wonder would you deliver
would you ask politely for my credentials
or tell me to go jump back in the river
n' see can you catch up to your potential
sounds came from a shut-down forest
they rose cantrapuntally a blown-out chorus

When the final plan is set before you
tell me exactly what it is you're gonna do

I'm unhappy with the world as it is
but who am I to say - who am I to judge
a man on the edge says the night is his
he takes a seat on the bench an' doesn't budge
the constellations collide and move on through
how can you walk so lightly - nonchalantly
when it might be the new universe - instantly.

Hey, Where'd You Put That New Universe
