You get a shiver in the dark, it's raining in the park, but meantime
South of the river, you stop n' you hold everything
A band is blowing Dixie, double-four time
You feel all right when you hear that music ringAnd now ya' step inside, but ya' don't see too many faces
Coming in out of the rain to hear the Jazz go down
Competition in other places
Ah, but the horns, they're blowing that soundWay on down south
Way on down south, London Town -

Every generation
Blames the one before

Come beating on your door
I know that I'm a prisoner to all my father held so dear
I know that I'm a hostage, to all his hopes and fears
I just wish I could have told him in ________________
More crumpled bits of paper
Filled with imperfect thought
Stilted conversations
I'm afraid that's all we've got
You say you just don't see it
He says it's perfect sense
You just can't get agreement

Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you
And I wish on a star that somewhere you are
Thinking of me too'Cause I'm _______________ tonight
'Til tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room
Dreaming about you and meWonder if you ever see me (See me)
And I wonder if you know I'm there (Am I there, am I?)
If you looked in my eyes
Would you see what's inside?
Would you even care? -

Half a love never appealed to me
If your heart never could yield to me
Then I'd rather have nothing at all
_____________________
If it's love there ain't no in-between
Why begin and cry for something that might have been?
No, I'd rather have nothing at all
Please don't put your lips so close to my cheek
Don't smile or I'll be lost beyond recall
The kiss in your eyes, the touch of your hand makes me weak
And my heart may grow dizzy and fall -

Would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are (Ooo)
Or would you rather be a mule?A mule is an animal with long funny ears
He kicks up at anything he hears
His back is brawny but his brain is weak
He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak

Stars hang suspended
Above a floating yellow moon
Two hearts were blended
While angels sang a lover's tune
And so we kissed
Not knowing if our hearts would pay the price
But heaven welcomed us to paradise
Blessing our love
Then came the sunrise
Fading the moon and stars from sight
Recalling always

*ticking clocks*
*clocks ringing*Ticking away
The moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours
In an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground
In your hometown
Waiting for someone
Or something to show you the wayTired of lying in the sunshine
Staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long
And there is ____ to kill today
And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun -

You can't fix this pain with money

It starts with one
One thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time, all I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away,
it's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Tryin' to hold on, d-didn't even know
I wasted it all just to watch you goI kept everything inside

A love-struck Romeo sings a streetsuss serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
Finds a streetlight, steps out of the shade
Says something like, "You and me babe, how about it?"
Juliet says, "Hey, it's Romeo
You nearly gave me a heart attack"
He's underneath the window
She's singing, "Hey la, my boyfriend's back
You shouldn't come around here
Singing up to people like that
Anyway, what ya gonna do about it?""Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start

But life goes on and this old world will keep on turning
Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together

Hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops
Blowing soft against the window
And make-believe you love me one more time

Part III
LIGHTS flicked on and house-doors opened all down the street, to watch the carnival set up.
Montag and Beatty stared, one with dry satisfaction, the other with disbelief, at the house before them, this main ring in which torches would be juggled and fire eaten.
"Well," said Beatty, "now you did it. Old Montag wanted to fly near the sun and now that he's burnt his damn wings, he wonders why. Didn't I hint enough when I sent the Hound around your place?" -
