Seventeen was lost
Thrown in the river
And delivered at such cost
Thrown away where no one's ever found
'Cause it's a cavalcade of sound
That makes the world go round
And lives inside our hearts
And holds me so far above the ground
Twenty-two was sane
Thrown into the ocean
And delivered at such pain
Thrown away forever to be drowned
'Cause it's a cavalcade of sound
That makes the world go round
And lives inside our hearts
And holds me so far above the ground
Twenty-seven takes
Throws me to the sky
And drops me back to earth again
Thrown away forever on the town
'Cause it's a cavalcade of sound
That makes the world go round
And lives inside our hearts
And holds me so far above the ground
