There is a tale not seldom told, never new, yet never old About a power brash and bold, beyond the setting sun It rules the weak, subdues the strong with its sweet, seductive song Fight you might, but not for long, beyond the setting sun Candlelight, champagne on ice, dreams of which are very nice As the power whispers in your ear, beyond the setting sun, my dear The day is bright, the sky is blue, and one plus one equals two Too bad the same isn't true beyond the setting sun To tango long into the night would fill your heart with delight It's a goal the power says is near, beyond the setting sun, my dear But listen not to what I say, between black and white there lies some gray And daylight may just find a way beyond the setting sun
