    Tabbed by:PJVillanueva





    Twice upon a time in the valley of the tears
    The auctioneer is bidding for a box of fading years
    And the elephants are dancing on the graves of squealing mice.
    Anyone for tennis, wouldn't that be nice?

    And the ice creams are all melting on the streets of bloody beer
    While the beggars stain the pavements with flourescent Christmas cheer
    And the Bentley driving guru is putting up his price.
    Anyone for tennis, wouldn't that be nice?

    And the prophets in the boutiques give out messages of hope
    With jingle bells and fairy tales and blind colliding scopes
    And you can tell they're all the same underneath the pretty lies.
    Anyone for tennis, wouldn't that be nice?

    The yellow Buddhist monk is burning brightly at the zoo
    You can bring a bowl of rice and then a glass of water too
    And fate is setting up the chessboard while death rolls out the dice.
    Anyone for tennis, wouldn't that be nice?
