lyrics

It's really quite gravy
You're still in the navy, and I am still on the tv
Trancending the id, atop the pyramid, the legend nearly forgotten
Oh, a man with five feathers is not quite a bird,
But he's closer than you and me, baby
Oh, I remember the day when handsome was handsome
and hair grew all over my body

It's really quite salad
Wheat your mom and dad did
You're perfectly in tune and wavy
You remind me of flutes, strings, clarinets
I suppose you're a whole symphony
Like a face in a hill, time can stand very still,
but the sun will go down anyway
Though, when handsome was handsome
I'd forever march west and nothing would ever get sleepy
