Afternoons in Utopia Lyrics

Acrobats & Comets are floating by so fast
Children's faces S.M.I².L.E. like suns at last
Lilac butterflies are cruising without fear
All inviting you to stay and rest here

You can halt your car
For an afternoon in Utopia
We shall stop the wars
On those afternoons in Utopia

Mighty Maomoondog drifts across the grass
Healing lullabies for Easter Time on Mars
Paint your hats and shoes with flowers and with stars
Singing to Metropolitan Operas

You can halt your car
For an afternoon in Utopia
We shall stop the wars
On those afternoons in Utopia

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
