Blissful Ignorance

hamster on circus wheel
starring at the stars
wonder where to go
wonder just how far
and oh....
it's a sunny day
when the birds would sing
and the bees would play

lizard scale a serpent's grin
smiling oh so proud
never will it end
if they don't know what it's all about
and oh....
it's a sunny day
when the birds would sing
and the bees would play

(chorus) bliss...ful ignorance
                  the sweetness of the sand
                  the skeleton hands
                  and
                  an upside down sun
                  will they know when it's begun
                  or will they only know
                  blissful ignorance

horses on the carousel
talk among themselves
never even will they know
when there's nothing left
and oh....
it's a sunny day
when the birds would sing
and the bees would play

(chorus)
