lyrics

There’s a glimmer/a shimmer/cuttin’ a figure like Don Quixote’/across the plains of some La Mancha/with a pen for a lance/carving such eloquence/in the battledress/of make-believe. And it’s in to the wide open/As far as the eye will see/Planted on a horse/Atop the magic mountain/Oh the fountain flows/eternally…like Don Quixote’. And the windmills sail/in the field of a knight’s honor/Goliaths in the path of a sling-shot dream/where the glitter on the winners/cast a pall on the losers/in the shadows a madman/reigns supreme. And it’s into the wide open/as far as the eye will see/planted on a horse/atop the magic mountain/oh the fountain flows eternally…like Don Quixote’. There’s a figure by the river/mounting Rocinante/Sancho and the don ride again/and though the end is closer/the old machine knows better/even broken clocks are right/twice a day. And it’s in to the wide open/As far as the eye will see/Planted on a horse/Atop the magic mountain/Oh the fountain flows…oh oh oh, eternally…like Don Quixote, like Don Quixote.
