Pull the crease down now
And hold a candle to the sky
All the travelers move like a primal wave
Up and down and low and high
You can feel the beating of their wings
As they prime themselves to fly
Take these steps up to the clouds
Don’t lose yourself in the smelly crowds
Goodbye, goodbye and hello
Hello I must going away
Goodbye, goodbye and hello
See you ‘round some sunny day
Lift your banners high
Make them wave like slippery fish
The band is playing out of tune
And an angel got her wish
The campgrounds filled with alabaster
And the spoon is spooning with a dish
Take these steps up to the stars
And play the Bossa on guitars
Give yourself over
No need to pretend it’s not a lie
Have tried the shiokara
Or are you waiting for the Lady from Shanghai
Whatever you do they can't identify
Take these steps up to see God
Perhaps he’ll pity this old sod
