[00:17.70] Listen to my story
[00:21.16] Got two tales to tell
[00:25.26] One of fallen glory
[00:29.00] One of vanity
[00:32.14] The world's roof was raging
[00:35.59] but we were looking fine
[00:39.20] 'Cause we built that thing and it grew wings
[00:43.05] In Nineteen-Fifty-Nine
[00:45.92]
[00:54.36] Wisdom was a teapot
[00:57.64] Pouring from above
[01:01.20] Desolation angels
[01:04.99] Served it up with Love
[01:08.36] Ignitin'(g strife) like every form of light
[01:11.96] Then moved by bold design
[01:15.72] Slid in that thing and it grew wings
[01:19.00] In Nineteen-Fifty-Nine
[01:21.96]
[01:26.60] It was Blood shining in the Sun
[01:30.25] First: Freedom!
[01:33.77] Speeding the american claim:
[01:40.91] Freedom; Freedom; Freedom; Freedom!

[02:24.01] (And) Madness overflowed
[02:27.65] (The) Lama was a young man
[02:31.33] And (he) watched his world in flames
[02:34.57] Taking Glory down by the edge of clouds
[02:38.72] It was a cryin'(g) shame
[02:42.04] Another lost horizon
[02:45.72] Tibet the fallen star
[02:49.32] Wisdom and compassion Crushed
[02:52.83] in the land of Shangri-La
[02:55.83] But in the land of the Impala, honey, well
[03:00.78] We were lookin' Fine
[03:03.38] 'Cause we built that thing and it grew wings
[03:07.23] In Nineteen-Fifty-Nine
[03:10.43] 'Cause we built that thing and it grew wings
[03:14.59] In Nineteen-Fifty-Nine
[03:17.37]
