Macarthur Park

<br>Spring was never waiting for us, girl, it ran one step ahead as we followed in the dance,<br><br>Between the parted pages that were pressed,<br><br>A love hot fevered like a striped pair of pants,<br><br>Macarthur park is melting in the dark, all the sweet, green icing flowing down.<br><br>Someone left the cake out in the rain,<br><br>I dont think I could take it, `cause it took so long to bake it,<br><br>And Ill never have that recipe again, oh no!<br><br>I still see the yellow cotton dress foaming like a wave upon the ground.<br><br>Around your knees, and the birds like tender babies in your hands,<br><br>And the old men playing checkers by the trees.<br><br>There will be another song for me, for I will sing it.<br><br>There would be another dream for me, someone will bring it.<br><br>Oh, I will drink the wine while it is warm,<br><br>And never let you catch me looking at the sun.<br><br>But after all the loves of my life, after all the loves, youll still be the one.<br><br>I would take my life into my hands and I will use it,<br><br>I will win the worship in their eyes, and I will lose it.<br><br>I will have all the things that I desire, and my passions flow like rivers in the sky,<br><br>And after the loves of my life, after all the loves of my life,<br><br>Youll still gonna be the one.<br><br>Macarthur park is melting in the dark, all the sweet, green icing flowing down,<br><br>Someone left the cake out in the rain,<br><br>I dont think I can take it, cause it took so long to bake it,<br><br>And Ill never have that recipe again, oh no, oh no!
