lyrics

Hey John Dendy, I'm not sure what you like.
What kind of cake's gonna frost the top of your night?
Unknown flavors, not here to save you -
I've got no wisdom, there is no advice.

Hey John Dendy, 50 years has gone by.
We still have no need to talk about all that time -
Also the river, and water in general.
And there's nothing left to say about the sky.

For now though, tonight though, distance is king.
What you do today means everything.
Tomorrow's a song we'll all gather to sing.
For now though, in darkness, distance is king.

Hey John Dendy we all know what you love.
Been in the room there, when fire comes in from above.
On your big table, the meals you enable -
Anyone paying attention knows what you love.

Hey John Dendy, I'm coming over the hill.
It may be a while, might be some more time to kill.
Make no mistake though, we'll celebrate so -
Probably be cake, we'll all be getting our fill.

Hey, John Dendy, what kind of cake do you like?
Hey, John Dendy, 50 years have gone by.
