The Fall Of Icarus - Chagall - 1975

"All your dreams are over now/And all your wings have fallen down/Oh all your dreams are over now/And all your wings have fallen down/She's just like you/So why keep doing what you do/Why cut a friend/Why cruise that mean lean to an end/You could have heel toed/To another place/You could have peeled slow/To a better face/But your heart can't grieve/ For your little dreams/Oh no your heart can't grieve/Not for your little dreams/All your dreams are over now/And all your wings have fallen down/All your dreams are over now/And all your wings have fallen down/Broke trust in two/Now no one's looking out for you/Why keep it cruel/Why waste so much to play the fool/And maybe I'm the fool but I think we'd find/That we could all be so so kind/If you'd just leave your tread mill powertrip behind/Oh leave your treadmill powertrip behind/And maybe it's best that you're so so blind/It's best that your so so blind/Because your heart can't grieve/I know your heart can't grieve/I know your heart can't grieve/What your eyes won't see/But you were my favorite moment/Of our dead century/I know your heart can't grieve/What your eyes won't see/But you were my favorite moment/Of our dead century/But all your dreams are over now/And all your wings have fallen down/Oh all your dreams are over now/And all your wings have fallen down/Oh warfarin' terrapin/Unconfined undesigned/Undersigned bantering/Bartering bellowing/Barracking blundering/Pillaging plundering/Living and lavishing/Hammerings harrowing/Flourishing flattening/Levelling reveling/Wrecking and ravaging/Savoring savaging/Oh warfarrin terrapin/Unconfined undesigned/You've got me worried and wondering/All your dreams are over now/And all your wings have fallen down/All your dreams are over now".
