MacArthur Park - Live

Lyrics

Spring was never waiting for us, dear
 It ran one step ahead
 As we followed in the dance
 Between the parted pages, we were pressed
 In love's hot fevered iron
 Like a striped pair of pants
 MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
 All the sweet, green icing flowing down
 Someone left my cake out in the rain
 I don't think that I can take it
 'Cause it took too long to bake it
 And I'll never have that recipe again, again
 (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) ooh!
 (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) alright
 (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) c'mon
 (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
 (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) hey
 (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
 (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
 (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
 I recall the yellow cotton dress
 Foaming like a wave
 On the ground beneath her knees
 (On the ground beneath her knees)
 (On the ground beneath her knees)
 The birds like tender babies in your hands
 And the old men playing Chinese checkers by the trees
 MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
 All the sweet, green icing flowing down
 Someone left my cake out in the rain (whoo!)
 I don't think that I can take it
 'Cause it took too long to bake it
 And I'll never have that recipe again, again
 (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) ooh!
 (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) alright
 (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
 (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
 (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) hey
 (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
 (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
 (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
 (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
 (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) alright, hey
 There will be another song for me
 And I will sing it (ooh)
 There will be another dream for me
 Someone will bring it
 I will drink the wine while it is warm
 And never let you catch me looking at the sun, yeah
 And after all the loves of my life
 After all the loves of my life, you'll still be the one
 I will take my life into my hands and I will use it
 I will win the worship in your eyes and I will lose it
 I will have the things that I desire
 And my passion flow like rivers from the sky
 And after all the loves of my life
 After all the loves in my life, you'll still be the one
 And I'll ask myself why
 (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
 (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
 (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
 (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
 (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
 (Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
 MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
 All the sweet, green icing flowing down
 Someone left my cake out in the rain
 I don't think that I can take it
 'Cause it took too long to bake it
 And I'll never have that recipe again, again
 Oh-oh, oh-oh
 Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
 Ooh, hey!
 Thank you
 Thank you so much
 Thank you, everybody, mwah!
 Thank you, whoo!
