Until Olympius Returns

Lyrics

Alright, well
 Uh, I had a tracked version of this that we already mastered
 And, uh, and then it turned out there was a mysterious
 Seven and a half second gap in the other one
 All hail the mysterious gap
 ♪
 Go through the motions
 Every day out in the square
 Listen for the hidden rhythms on the air
 Nod in agreement when the tyrant holds forth
 Look for a beacon from the North
 Protect yourself
 Vouch for every member of the team
 This is just a momentary ripple in the stream
 Join in the rebuilding
 Sing loudly at your labor
 Make friends with the new guys
 Be nice to your neighbor
 Profess keen interest in the welfare of the state
 Taste everything they feed you
 Say it tastes real great
 Spit it down your sleeve
 Every time you get the chance
 This is just a brief improvisation in the dance
 Raise up the columns
 Take the statues down
 Praise the columns
 Spread the word around town
 Behold the temple where the old one stood
 Is it not a thing of beauty?
 Don't it make you feel good?
 Is it not a big improvement on the way things used to be?
 Is it not a stately beacon for the whole world to see?
 We will be right here
 On the day it finally burns
 Everybody hold a spot
 Until Olympius returns
 Yeah!
