Cubist Town Songtext
von Manfred Mann

The world was just the world upon an air
I wandered ′round and 'round the busy square
I turned and floated gently upside down
And one by one the people gathered ′round

The rivers and the bridges turn to blue
The thin edge of the night is creeping through
The orange sun is dying on the line
And slowly melts into a sea of wine

(Goodnight, Killdees Town, goodnight)
The day has vanished with the night
The light has vanished with the day
And the bridal passeth quietly away

The table groans, the evening meal's begun
The wedding song of love has just been sung
But there's too much of this, too much for me
I go outside where darkness sets me free


(Goodnight, Killdees Town, goodnight)
The day has vanished with the night
The light has vanished with the day
And the bridal passeth quietly away

I thought I saw the house where you were born
A yellow house, the color of the corn
I thought I saw strange beasts up in the sky
But music filled my mind and they passed by

(Goodnight, Killdees Town, goodnight)
The day has vanished with the night
The light has vanished with the day
And the bridal passeth quietly away

But music filled my mind and they passed by

(Goodnight, Killdees Town, goodnight)
The day has vanished with the night
(Goodnight, Killdees Town, goodnight)
The light has vanished with the day
(Goodnight, Killdees Town, goodnight)
The day has vanished with the night
(Goodnight, Killdees Town, goodnight)
The light has vanished with the day
