You thought you'd climb a ladder to the sky
What a silly thing to do
You trained and taught a polar bear to fly
What a silly thing to do
Can you recall
How you saved a man
Recall a life of high command
He sees the in a fantasy again
What a silly thing to do
Invented clocks that tick and talk like man
What a silly thing to do
Can you recall
How you saved a man
Recall a life of high command
When he's forsaken
With the [?]
What can an old man do but cry
Wisdom is chilling
[?] is warm
What can an old man
Do but die
A dancing eye, a monkey telling time
What a silly thing to see
Fry an egg with bacon singing rhyme
What a silly thing to see
Can you recall
How you saved a man
Recall
A life of high command
Oh when he's forsaken
With the [?]
What can an old man do but cry
Wisdom is chilling
[?] is warm
What can an old man do but die
What a silly thing to do
You trained and taught a polar bear to fly
What a silly thing to do
Can you recall
How you saved a man
Recall a life of high command
He sees the in a fantasy again
What a silly thing to do
Invented clocks that tick and talk like man
What a silly thing to do
Can you recall
How you saved a man
Recall a life of high command
When he's forsaken
With the [?]
What can an old man do but cry
Wisdom is chilling
[?] is warm
What can an old man
Do but die
A dancing eye, a monkey telling time
What a silly thing to see
Fry an egg with bacon singing rhyme
What a silly thing to see
Can you recall
How you saved a man
Recall
A life of high command
Oh when he's forsaken
With the [?]
What can an old man do but cry
Wisdom is chilling
[?] is warm
What can an old man do but die
