Lyrics Let’s go out in the back yard, watch the lions roam in the field Dress to the ‘T’ in our finest armor so we don’t arrive back on our shields Let’s go witness a historic act through the lenses of tomorrow’s eyes We’ll do our best to commence the quest to watch Atlantis rematerialize A quarter of a quarter of a century A few more dimes just to waste my time with amazing inefficiency Johnny loves the air above so he won’t stand up to the man Shall I risk my chance to escape for a blurred word written in sand? Let’s witness a belligerent act and not fall down on our knees We’ll act as though we’re grown ups now Leave the rats to play in their house of cheese A quarter of a quarter of a century A few more dimes just to hasten my decline into the cold dark infinite sea Janie lives for her chance to give but she won’t stand up to the man Why should I pass on my heroic escape Just because you don’t understand? Why? Come with me to the back yard watch our Lyen roam through his field We’ve come so far on little more than faith, now is no time for us to yield Composition © 2008 Ric Albano Publication © 2009, 2011 Cygnus Wave Music	Song Info Composed on November 8, 2008 Recorded starting on December 6, 2008 at Cygnus Wave Studios Produced by Ric Albano Engineered by Ric Albano Mixed and Mastered in 2009 at Cygnus Wave Studios Original Release: September 9, 2009 on Imaginary Lines 33 Performers Ric Albano Keyboards, Bass, Percussion, Vocals Listener Guide Grade Analysis: A song with some interesting lyrics and 1980s soundscape, that suffers from the over-use of electronic percussion and a bit of a dated message. Song Trivia The song is about a planned retirement date, which would have been 6 years and 3 months after initiation (a quarter of a quarter century).
