Does It Really Happen'
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.
That's what you say
Does it really happen to you
Does that explain
This is the season for this display.
To take a look
In time to move together
Time is the measure before it's begun
Slips away like running water
Live for the pleasure, live by the gun
Heritage for sun and daughter
Down to the slaughter, up for the fun
Up for anything
Could this be true
Does it ever happen to you
And can you prove
That wheels go 'round in reason
You take a step
In time
To move together
Time is the measure before it's begun
Slips away like running water
Live for the pleasure, live by the gun
Heritage for sun and daughter
Down to the slaughter, up for the fun
Up for anything
You walk, the way
You take, the path
To be, assured
You draw, a graph
The scale, you use
Is all, on black
Be brave, the weight
Will make, the heat
There is, no way
To take-it back
Time is the measure before it's begun
Slips away like running water
Live for the pleasure, live by the gun
Heritage for sun and daughter
Down to the slaughter, up for the fun
Up for anything
