Late afternoon when the sun’s gone round
and the pale moon rises and stands her ground
and the stars come out and say, You know,
we’ve seen some crazy in our day
Yeah, we’ve been around for way more years
than you can even contemplate
through your laughter and tears
since this circus began and we
lit the sunrise of Man
Everywhere you turn something’s got to burn
got to give up the ghost, and soon as that’s done
comes some other one to lift a glass in a toast
So, here’s to you and here’s to me
and here’s to the way things ought to be
and here’s to the lives of our kids
here’s to keeping them off of the skids
here’s to changing the way that it is
so that early some morning when the sun takes flight
maybe we can step into that light and turn
to the stars and say, “you know,
we did it better today, yeah,
we did it better today,
better today
