Lyrics (unofficial)

[rev. May 28, 2015]

I like the stand the tall palms take
Reaching up far back to the primitive days
I like the stand in the sand the way
Of the waves all willing to take me in

I'd like to see good fortunes face
But I did I was wishing for just a taste
Of something sweet and minted pennies
That stay on tight on my eyes

But its March now
It's the shiny time
You've got to march in time

I'd like the world I never knew
It never was except for you
I'd like to be the rescuee
Just like the part you wrote for me

Your ink too orange and leaking through
Who could gaze the coals we've walked into
We swagger tough and bluff and stuff
But still enough is never enough

But its March now
It's the shiny time
You've got to march in time

I'd like to lie on a raft and moving
Fast the good times all spinning past
And fancy draped in beaded gown
My fingers dripping as night comes down

I guess I'll float with the truncated heads
And think this through even when I'm dead
I'll never say enough is enough
This is just the way the rainbow looks close up

But its March now
It's the shiny time
You've got to march in time

Ahh its March now
It's the shiny time
You've got to march in time

Ahh its March now
It's the shiny time
You've got to march in time

Ahh its March now
It's the shiny time
