The pendulum's last sway Just one heartbeat away This midnight the time is right to let go In a carnival I see in your face a gentle glow If we crash and burn then let it be so Seize the day while we're not yet old Seize the day before the trail's cold We'll join the marching masquerade Seize the day, I believe I was told Everything that glitters is gold Let these small hours last for a day If you bring the light I'll be a king for a night We'll go to see all houses high and low In a carnival I now find myself in vertigo And if I'm a fool then let it be so
