lyrics

Frankish knights of Charlemagne,
They led us out of the dark ages.
Pennsylvania, quaker state,
It seems to me they had it right
At one time, we were gentle and kind,
But a lifetime's not enough just to watch it all pass by.

They'll always go straight to DVD...
Well pardon me for thinking that it's good to know your history!

Now it's Istanbul not Constantinople,
But before all that it was Byzantium
And Alexander rode right over it,
On his way toward the Ganges.
At one time, men weren't only guys,
And sometimes I wish that I could just go back in time...

Despite the lightning in your eyes,
I'm not conducive so no sparks will fly.
I'm positive, you're positive
Not opposites but still no sparks will fly.
