Everybody's Going Home

There was a big patio where the musicians played
What can I say, I met a lady there and I got delayed
Made it to the parlor, everyone was walking alone
By the time I got to the party, everybody's going home

Looking for light and vessels, I got lost in the desert
Wrestling with my good side, I slipped and I got hurt
Ate an apple from the orchard, yeah, my mind began to roam
By the time I got to the party, everybody's going home

I went to the rooftop, looked down on the streets
Then I sat down to wipe all the dust off my feet
Running along the lake, all around the cobblestone
By the time I got to the party, everybody's going home

I made it to the lobby, the candles were blown out
Inside the royal palace, had to take another route
Where there's no secrets, mortal man doesn't know
In another time, I'll return to the valley below

I heard the news, angels were coming to town
Clocks were spinning, I was off the ground
Above the clouds, passing buildings made of wood and stone

By the time I got to the party, everybody's going home
By the time I got to the party, everybody's going home
Everybody's going home
