[ti:It Started Out So Nice]
[ar:Sixto Rodriguez]
[al:From Reality]
[00:19.82] It started out with butterflies On a velvet afternoon
[00:26.47] With flashing eyes and promises
[00:30.09] Caught and held too soon
[00:33.90] In a place called Ixea
[00:36.27] With it's pumpkin oval moon
[00:40.92] It started out so nice
[00:48.34] Genji taught Orion
[00:50.83] Sea-purple harmony
[00:55.43] While Kogi hit secrets into seashells
[01:02.42] And even the ocean laughed
[01:04.95] beneath that celestial canopy
[01:08.50] Cuz it started out so nice
[01:20.10] With the dust of stars they intermingled
[01:23.77] Durock of Avon would only jingle
[01:27.59] Marble money tunes
[01:30.80] As pale earthly circles swooned
[01:41.86] Volume left Bohemia, a triangle for his thumb
[01:48.85] Questions fell but no one stopped to listen
[01:55.81] That eternity was just a dawn away
[01:58.53] And the rest was sure to come
[02:02.17] Leaves, caught in winter's ice
[02:13.34] Abandoned circus grounds of flower captains
[02:16.94] Prisms in a palm one way it happens
[02:20.95] The air was silver calm
[02:23.94] The softly met were slowly moving on
[02:35.16] Then all things in common suddenly grew strange
[02:47.05] Now the Wurs were chasing other rainbows
[02:50.47] Trying to find where the wind blows
[02:54.50] To empty corners past dusty memories
[03:08.72] Now in the third millennium the crowded madness came
[03:15.64] Crooked shadows roamed through the nights
[03:18.59] The wizards overplayed their names
[03:22.96] And after that the Wurs never bothered to have
[03:25.63] Summer reasons... again,
[03:29.25] but it started out so nice
[03:36.52] it started out so nice
[03:43.63] We started out so nice.
