The Great Pagoda Of Funn Lyrics - Morph The Cat - Fagen Donald

The Great Pagoda of Fun 

The stars are bright tonight 

the air is sweet 

though summer's over now 

there's a strange new music in the street 

you and i 

know the world can't be like this 

it's our love that makes it shine 

girl 

whatever trouble waits outside these walls 

safe inside this house of light 

we make up our own storyline 

around the neighborhood 

they stare and grin 

as if they live their lives 

just to help maintain the state we're in 

but when we fight 

then those hungry wolves close in 

we're one thoughtless word away 

from poison skies 

and severed heads 

and pain and lies 

so follow me 

i'll hold you tight 

we'll build a life together 

in the great pagoda of funn 

this magic soon will fade 

without a doubt 

we'll have to work my love 

just to keep the flame from going out 

'cause if we fail 

then these walls will fall away 

and we'll find we're in the realm 

of psycho-moms 

and dying stars 

and dirty bombs 

please follow me 

and hold me tight 

we'll build a world together 

in the great pagoda of funn
