Words and Music by Dennis Livingston WE GATHERED TOGETHER FOR THE MARCH TO THE NORTH. SURE, IT WAS COLD AS WE ALL SET FORTH, BUT WE JUST PAID NO ATTENTION BECAUSE THE URGE TO MOVE ON CAN'T BE DENIED, YOU GOTTA BE UP AND BEGONE. IT'S WHAT WE'VE ALWAYS DONE OVER AGES PAST. THE SEASONS CHANGE, LOOK OUT, WE'RE OFF, IT'S USU'LY A BLAST. BUT I'M TELLING YA NOW, THIS WAS A WHOLE DIFFERENT STORY. EVERYTHING WAS NOT WHAT YOU'D CALL HUNKY DORY. THE COLD, THE CHILL HIT US EVERYWHERE NO MATTER WHERE WE TURNED, WE GOT FRIGID AIR. HEY, YA GOTTA REALIZE, YA GOTTA SYMPATHIZE, YA GOTTA IMAGINE WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO FEEL SUCH SURPRISE. AND THAT WASN'T ALL ON THIS LOSER OF A TRIP. YA MAY NOT WANNA HEAR THIS, BUT WE CAN'T LET IT SLIP. IT WAS WAY TOO DARK, WE'RE TALKING AFTERNOON WHEN THERE WAS HARDLY ANY LIGHT FROM THE SUN OR MOON. SURE IT GETS DARK EARLY, HOLDS ON TILL LATE WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT AND READY, DO WE COMMUNICATE? BUT NOW THE SEASON IS ALL WRONG FOR THIS, IT'S WAY TOO SOON. MOMMA NATURE PLAYS US ALL FOR A BUNCH OF BIG BUFFOONS. HIT IT, DINOS! COLD NOSE, COLD TOES, COLD FEET, COLD HEAD. WE WOULD'A BIN BETTER OFF TO STAY IN BED. BUT THE URGE TO PUSH ON, PUSH ON, PUSH ON, CAN'T BE DENIED, YOU GOTTA BE UP AND BEGONE. YA THINK THAT'S ALL, THE VERY WORST WE CAN SAY. WHEN YOU CAN'T EVEN TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NIGHT AND DAY? UH, UH, SORRY FRIENDS, THERE'S MORE TO TELL. YA GET THE FULL TREATMENT SINCE YOU ASKED, OH WELL. HUGE FIRES EVERYWHERE, CHOKED OFF THE SUN. YA GOTTA BELIEVE THEY REALLY HAD US ON THE RUN. THIS WAY, YA GET BURNED IN A PREMATURE CREMATION. THAT WAY, IF YA GET LUCKY, YA LOSE ALL SENSATION. ONE LITTLE THING THAT'S LEFT TO RELATE, UNLESS YOU THINK YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH PUT ON YOUR PLATE BY US GABBY DINOS WHO'VE SEEN TOO MUCH, ALL RIGHT, CALL US LIARS, IF YOU WANT THAT CRUTCH. VOLCANOES ARE ERUPTING, BLOWING ALL THEIR JUNK, NOW I ASK YA, WHAT HAPPENS WHEN TONS OF GUNK GET LOSE IN THE WORLD? NOT SO GOOD AT ALL. MAKES YA WONDER IF WE'RE HEADING FOR A GREAT BIG FALL. FIRE AND ICE, DARK AND COLD. ENOUGH TO CHILL YOUR HEART NO MATTER HOW BIG AND BOLD.   DARK AND COLD, FIRE AND ICE.   HOPE WE DON'T HAVE TO PAY THE ULTIMATE PRICE.     © 1995 Hallmark Music Co.   Back to CRETACEOUS CABARET main page
