She sang hymns out of tune
Carried a yellow balloon
She traded her love for a Spanish doubloon
Talk to the people
Ah, people who are
I have a clock on the wall
Keeps timing, that isn't all
Tells me how long she's been gone
Gone to the people
Ah, people who are
She lived in the city

In a sorcerer's room
Who pounded the table
And brandished the broom
She turned to ten thousand
When she touched the room
Turned to the people
Ah, people who are
The rain came and scattered away
The romantic caretaker's children
Ah, people who are
In that play
Early that morning
She passed away
Passed to the people
Oh, ah, people who are
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
She sang hymns out of tune
She sang hymns out of tune
Carried a yellow balloon
She traded her love for a Spanish doubloon
Talk to the people
Ah, people who are
People who are
You
