Lyrics

Infinity

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Standin' on a trap door, there's a hole in the ground.

Underneath the door there's a hole and it goes to infinity.Â

Standin' on a dark street, there's a light in the sky.

Followin' the light through the night as it goes to infinity.Â

How can I avoid infinity? How have I annoyed infinity?

I'm movin' slow in infinity. I even glow in infinity.

Chorus:

It's hard being' small, (hard bein' small)

Shrinkin' into space, (shrinkin' into space)

The world is just a ball, (world is just a ball)

It was my fav'rite place (it was my fav'rite place)

Lookin' for the blue skies, watchin' for the sunrise.

One thing you can bet, you won't see it set in infinity.Â

Gonna take a light beam, on the wings of the Jet Stream.

Gonna take my place in the infinite space of infinity.Â

How can I be friends with infinity? Can I make ammends with infinity?

How can I complain to infinity? What'll I explain to infinity?

(Chorus)

Give me just a time shield before the world has it's fate sealed.

Protect me for a while before they turn my dial to infinity.Â

I hope I can contribute, oh, but I don't want a tribute.

Hypocrites will come and say somethin' really dumb in infinity.Â

I can't hear you sing in infinity. I can't change a thing in infinity.

The absence of light in infinity gives me a fright in infinity.

(Chorus)

Won't you look my way once before you go and my eyes will say what you ought to

know. Well you've got me standin' deaf and blind...cause I see love as just a

state of mind...and who knows what it is that we might find...if we try.

(Bridge)

You're walking a different direction from most people I've met. You're givin'

me signs of affection I don't usually get. I don't want you to pledge your

future the future's not yours to give. Just stand there a little longer and let

me watch while you live.

'Cause when I see you on the street, I lose my concentration. And just the

thought that we might meet creates anticipation.

Won't you look my way once before you go and my eyes will say what you ought to

know. Well I've been thinking about you day and night...and I don't know if it

will work out right...but somehow I think that it just might...if we try.

Somehow I think that it just might if we try. Yes somehow I think that it just

might if we try.

Note - Don would often change the last chorus when he performed the song live.

The words were something like "Won't you look my way once before you go and my

eyes will say what you ought to know. It'd be so nice to see it all work

out...cause that's what fantasies are all about..."
