lyrics

beat down, misdirected, cropped short and sized to fit
honey if we're still connected, i could really use a hit
i am not lookin for the key that opens every door
just a pillow on the floor where we can sit

here in the shinin city, here in the endless summer
here in the cave of wonder, number ninety-two
the sky of never was was never quite this blue
but it's all right, it's all right with me if it's all right with you

guru child on glory mountain, waitin patient, turtle-wise
twenty years of bliss and countin, trips and riddles in his eyes
he says the primal quest ain't nothin but a second guess
sometimes you just do your best and compromise

here in the shinin city, here in the endless summer
here in the cave of wonder, number ninety-two
the book is empty from the sparrow's point of view
but it's all right, it's all right with me if it's all right with you

shootin fools and starry gazers, wizard hip and button-down
i walk the occam's razor way through priests and circus clowns
am i a visioner of faith or grace or vision or
another grinning prisoner in happytown

here in the shinin city, here in the endless summer
here in the cave of wonder number ninety-two
we chase the shadows of the chosen and the few
but it's all right, it's all right with me if it's all right with you

so strap me in, i'm goin clear, i'm burnin circles 'round the sun
the fisher king is here, but he is not the only one
parcival and valentino, ridin winged palominos
willie in his el camino on the run

here in the shinin city, here in the endless summer
here in the cave of wonder, number ninety-two
the gods will lounge around until the show is through
but it's all right, it's all right with me if it's all right with you
