MacArthur Park Songtext
von Plastic Penny

Spring was never waiting for us, girl
It ran one step ahead as we followed in the dance
Between the parted pages that were pressed in
Love soft even iron like a striped pair of pants

MacArthur′s Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it ′cause it took so
Long to bake it and I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no

I recall the yellow cotton dress foaming
Like a wave on the ground around your knees
The birds like tender babies in your hands
And the old men playing checkers by the trees


MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don′t think that I can take it ′cause it took so
Long to bake it and I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no

There will be another song for me
And I will sing it
There will be another dream for me
Someone will bring it

I will taste the wine while it is warm and
Never let you catch me looking at the sun
And after all the loves of my life

Oh, after all the loves of my life you′ll still be the one
I will take my life into my hands
And I will use it
I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it
I will have the things that I desire
And let passion flow like rivers through the sky
And after all the loves of my life
Oh, after all the loves of my life I'll be thinking of you
And wondering why


MacArthur′s Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it ′cause it took so
Long to bake it and I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no

Oh, no
Ooh
Oh, no
