[Cryptical Envelopment]
The other day they waited, the sky was dark and faded
Solemnly they stated, "He has to die, you know he has to die."
All the children learnin', from books that they were burnin'
Every leaf was turnin'; to watch him die, you know he had to die
The summer sun looked down on him, his mother could but frown on him
And all the others sound on him, but it doesn't seem to matter
And when the day had ended, with rainbow colors blended
His mind remained unbended, he had to die, you know he had to die
[The Faster We Go, the Rounder We Get]
Spanish lady comes to me, she lays on me this rose
It rainbow spirals round and round it trembles and explodes
It left a smoking crater of my mind I like to blow away
But the heat came 'round and busted me for smiling on a cloudy day
Comin', comin', comin' around, comin', around
Comin', around, in a circle
Comin', comin', comin' around, comin' around, in a circle
Comin', comin', comin' around, comin' in a circle
Skippin' through the lily fields I came across an empty space
It trembled and exploded, left a bus stop in it's place
The bus came by and I got on, that's when it all began
There was cowboy Neal at the wheel of the bus to never ever land
Comin', comin', comin' around, comin', around
Comin', around, in a circle
Comin', comin', comin' around, comin' around, in a circle
Comin', comin', comin' around, comin' in a circle
[Cryptical Envelopment Reprise]
And when the day had ended, with rainbow colors blended
Their minds remained unbended
He had to die, Oh, you know he had to die
