The Great Event Lyrics
It's going to happen very soon.
The great event which will end the horror.
Which will end the sorrow.
Next Tuesday, when the sun goes down, I will play the Moonlight Sonata backwards.
This will reverse the effects of the world's mad plunge into suffering, for the last 200 million years.
What a lovely night that would be. What a sigh of relief, as the senile robins become bright red again,
and the retired nightingales, pick up their dusty tails,
and assert the majesty of creation!
The great event which will end the horror.
Which will end the sorrow.
Next Tuesday, when the sun goes down, I will play the Moonlight Sonata backwards.
This will reverse the effects of the world's mad plunge into suffering, for the last 200 million years.
What a lovely night that would be. What a sigh of relief, as the senile robins become bright red again,
and the retired nightingales, pick up their dusty tails,
and assert the majesty of creation!
