First Day of Forever Lyrics

It is the first day of forever

The last day of never, better hold on tight

All along the City borders

The pleasure Captain's daughters are looking for a fight

On the Titanic everybody's unawares

Down on the one side of the deck is he who dares

And on the other side is he who stands and stares

And he who says he cares

But when I lay my head down to sleep tonight

When I say my prayers to the Lord

There's a world outside full of grief tonight

But I've got a place where I can be

It's my bolthole of sanity

So when I lay my head down to sleep tonight

When I say my prayers to the Lord

I will make no deal with defeat tonight

Even though things are so dark, I've got a truck load of hope in my heart

So it's the first day of forever

The last day of never. No way to put it nice

Oh now everything is shaking

There's no more mistaking what is wrong and what is right

Children are setting out their pieces on the floor

Down on their hands and knees in Harry Potter Hall

They're playin' Robin Hood with laser guns and more

They're keeping score

So when I lay my head down to sleep tonight

When I say my prayers to the Lord

Though the world we've left them looks so bleak tonight

I don't despair cos down in my soul

I can hear drums of glory on the roll

So when I lay my head down to sleep tonight

When I say my prayers to the Lord

I can feel the ground move underneath my feet tonight

As I listen to crazy talk

And the wheels of this juggernaut

They keep grinding and churning

Like bad dreams returning

Klaatu Barada Nikkto Gort

They'll still be p'rading their things

Til the Fat Lady sings

Oh I do hope her song is short

And in the commotion

I'll be bobbin' on an ocean

A wide angle beautiful thought

It is the First Day of Forever

It is the First Day of Forever

It is the First Day of Forever

It is the First Day of Forever
