Up on Kill Devil hill
The sand dunes are still
It ends as it begins
December 1903
A buzzard on the breeze
The coin will see who wins
I said it's heads or tails
Bicycles for sale it's time to go
But now it seems so long ago
Now it seems so long ago
It was three days later
In a web of wire
Or so it seems
Up on Kill Devil hill
The sand dunes are still
Picture the scene
I watched their plans unfold
In the morning cold
The world will know
But now it seems so long ago
Now it seems so long ago
If that's you over there
You can laugh you can stare
Well i don't care
I'll just say heads or tails
Bicycles for sale it's time to go
But now it seems so long ago
But now it seems so long ago
But now it seems so long ago
But now it seems so long ago
