The Sun's Golden Tavern (Live) Lyrics

The road is littered with oddities and illusions

Meanwhile my world has been amended by the truth and confusion

Is it all so meaningful

Is it all so powerful

Or is it ultimately meaningless

And I want to know, I want to know, I want to know

But do I really want to – know

And so it goes

And I'm embracing all that life may have to offer

Not letting any moment slip away

Opting to maintain my sense of dignity

Or something resembling such if I may

To use up my desire for unknowing

To deliver my acceptance to defeat

For if I am old enough now to know better

Can I still be young enough to be naïve

And as we gaze upon locations once out of focus

We find every aspect of reality coming into place

Fitting together like crude puzzle pieces

To tell the story once neatly arranged

Of trading normality for a cultured perspective

Of trading in one's definition of normality

And again I've arrived to some kind of heaven

And again I must be leaving

And here we are, once more, the guests

In the sun's golden tavern

Oh here we are, once more, the guests

In the sun's golden tavern

And I have helped myself to a second helping

As well as having been unable to help myself

And I have befriended certain circumstances

Knowing whatever the outcome, this will not end well

But now I've arrived with these greetings of tranquility

So often that they now know my name

Still on this hedonist treadmill I keep on running

Carrying the torch and tending to the flame

And here we are, once more, the guests

In the sun's golden tavern

Oh here we are, once more, the guests

In the sun's golden tavern

Now we're standing in the future

Looking at the same imperfections but from another angle

Now here I am in the past

Speaking of how things used to be

So will you take this offering of the temporary moment

Will you allow me to exist in your memory

Or am I just a clownfish who pretends to be prophetic

To have you believe we're living in prophesy

And now here we are, once more, the guests

In the sun's golden tavern

Oh here we are, once more, the guests

In the sun's golden tavern
