lyrical intepretation of Ray Manzarek's instrumental song "Too Close To The Sun" from his CD for Love Her Madly. As fast as light across the sky As fast as summer left behind The music takes & shakes the ground In this erotic night of colored sound ... Icarus falls like the moon from the sky & it's so quiet you can hear a raindrop cry a blanket of stars on our midnight ride like Paul Revere but we got no place to hide We were warned not to get too close to the sun But we were lost even before we begun & I never really did listen to no one that did not speak with a fork for a tongue. As fast as light across the sky As fast as summer left behind The music takes & shakes the ground In this erotic night of colored sound ... *The few quotes from and remarks concerning "The End"and criticisms thereof are a tongue-in-check nod to the heavy "End" feel of the song.
