Princeton

If I ever go to Princeton
I’ll bow to nature’s wisdom
If ever I’m allowed to see
The wheels within the wheels
I will turn the clock on easy
And ask the ground to leave me
If I ever get to Princeton
I’ll remember how it feels
We were linked along a sidewalk
Lost in a time warp
We stood and counted UFOs
Tumbling headlong 'cross the sun
And we terrorized the freeway
With a humanizing heat ray
And if I ever get to Princeton
I’ll remember what we’ve done
And in the space between the fooling
While the galaxy cooling
I glimpsed the greatest sorrow
Of tomorrow never come
But we cast aside the reckonin'
For stars, they were a-beckonin'
And If I ever get to Princeton
I’ll remember everyone
And a traveler from Venus
Set a force field between us
I had the strangest feeling
I had seen it all before
In a tale by Dennis Wheatley
He saved the world so neatly
And if I ever get to Princeton
I’ll remember what it’s called
If I ever go to Princeton
I’ll bow to nature’s wisdom
And wonder how on Earth
I had the nerve to let it fly
For in Princeton I ran into
A planet I’d not been to
Yes, in Princeton I was happy
For a moment of my life
Yes, in Princeton I ran into
A planet I’d not been to
And in Princeton I was happy
For a moment
In my life
