Napoleon Solo

Cut and paste, were you sitting down?

On the beaded impotence of New Orleans

A hint of suspense when that telephone rings

This is forever

It paved a wave of distance

Between the syntax error

From Austin's yellow brick road

This is forever

From this Texas breath exhaled

No sign of relief

'Cause this you know

This you know

This is forever

March 23rd hushed the wind

The music died

If you can't get the best of us now

It's 'cause this is forever

March 23rd hushed the wind

The music died

If you can't get the best of us now (You know, you know, you know)

It's 'cause this is forever

Makes no difference, your alphabet is missing letters

Seventeen, embalmed and caskets lowered

Into the weather

A drizzle, brisk and profound

From this Texas breath regaled

Their relief

This is forever

March 23rd hushed the wind

The music died

If you can't get the best of us now

It's 'cause this is forever

March 23rd hushed the wind

The music died

(You know, you know, you know)

If you can't get the best of us now

It's 'cause this is forever

Strum this broken harp

We were struck by the chords

Set from their hearts

Yes, this is forever

This is forever

Cut and paste, were you sitting down?

On the beaded impotence of New Orleans

Hint of suspense when that telephone rings

This is forever

This is forever

This is forever

Makes no, makes no, makes no

Seventeen, embalmed and caskets lowered

Into the weather

A drizzle, brisk and profound

From this Texas breath exhaled

Strum this broken harp

We were struck by the chords

To your heart

This is forever

No turning back

This is forever

(You know, you know, you know)

Yes, this is forever

No turning back

This is forever

(You know, you know)

But you can't get the best of us now
