Trills on the hills of a masterpiece Many days, many years 'til it was complete But the mind's in the shovel and the handle's in the keep While digging in the water for a blank receipt Up when it's down and down when it's up Going through the ceiling, but the ceiling is corrupt Forgot who made the water, made the shovel the receipt Tried to trust the waiter, but the waiter doesn't bring Window shades that are not seen Stand right by to come off clean The bigger moon-light doesn't mean We may agree It's gotta come first No place can replace it Hurts, so get up and face it For we are the stars behind the bars, moving the strings Front, back, left and right It's gotta come first It's not enough to try Clock is ticking, and we're speaking, but it's just not there On a big-big screen, in a big-big fair All the numbers lead to blunders 'Cause the numbers don't care When the plugs impaired Window shades that are not seen Stand right by to come off clean The bigger moon-light doesn't mean We may agree It's gotta come first No place can replace it Hurts, so get up and face it For we are the stars behind the bars, moving the strings Front, back, left and right It's gotta come first It's not enough to try ♪ It's gotta come first No place can replace it Hurts, so get up and face it For we are the stars behind the bars, moving the strings Front, back, left and right It's gotta come first It's not enough to try ♪ It's not enough to try
