The Twelfth - Manhattan Transfer

The hour’s up it’s past eleven

We’re breathing and today’s the twelfth

Witness for the composition testifying for itself

Lost the early contradictions focusing with all intent

Coming clean to one another we figure out why we’re been sent

Working on our disappearance there’ll be none for all to see

Operation Final Clearnce take us where we want to be

Time’s arrive to turn it over dream believers come to realise

Wishing on a four-leaf clover gets you nothing then the flower dies

If you ever move

Or ever get out

Tell me where to?

Why not…

Where it’s hot nice and hot but don’t touch the lava

(Molten lava)

Siren voices singing sun sits high above

And with our minds made up we’ll share a cup of steamy java

(Steamy java)

With a view we know we will come to love

We never said we were born and bread home town Hawaiian

(We're not Hawaiians)

Gonna make it to where sun sits high above

They’ll roll the welcome mat out onto this offshore island

(Sunny island)

With a view down at the ocean spreading the lotion and love

Where it’s hot nice and hot but don’t touch the lava

(Molten lava)

Siren voices singing sun sits high above

And with our minds made up we’ll share a cup of steamy java

(Steamy java)

With a view we know we will come to love
