Rambling Through the Avenues of Time Lyrics

I was wandering through the streets of the city
Rambling through the avenues of time
When from nowhere my eyes fell onto a girl
And by chance her eyes fell onto mine

So I sat and I acted all nonchalant
She smoked her lavender cigarette
Reading the future that lay in my hands
My shadow played a bass clarinet

Where are you going with this, Bret?

We waltzed down a moonlit boulevard
Just two silhouettes in the mist

Ah, yes?

Days went by and years went by
Moments went by when we kissed

When was this?

She said, "Your beard is woven of heartache
And we'll drink for the lonely tonight"
And the moon is a horny old drunkard

Ah, Bret, could you please move over to your right?

We drank dandelion wine and we reminisced
About the moment when we first met that day

I'm trying to watch TV

Then we reminisced about how we first reminisced

Ah yeah? Sounds a bit gay

She handed me a broken memory
A keepsake to forevermore say
That a brief taste of love is as sweet as any
And with that she made her way

Oh yeah, what was her name?

She said her name was a secret
Then she said her name was Cherie

Is her middle name Cherie, so it's a Secret Cherie, maybe?Flight Of The Conchords - Rambling Through the Avenues of Time - http://motolyrics.com/flight-of-the-conchords/rambling-through-the-avenues-of-time-lyrics.html

Mm... Maybe

What did she look like?

She looked like a Parisian river

What, dirty?

She looked like a chocolate éclair

That's rare

Her eyes were reflections of eyes

Oh nice

And the rainbows danced in her hair

Oh yeah

She reminded me of a winter's morning

What, frigid?

Her perfume was eau de toilette

What's that mean?

She was comparable to Cleopatra

Quite old?

She was like Shakespeare's Juliet

Thirteen?!

The bohemians of Soho did pirouettes
As we waltzed through the streets of Manhattan
On rivers of ribbon and sailboats of song

Bret, did any of this actually happen?

The girl I described, she's as real as the wind
It's true I saw her today
The other details are inventions
Because I prefer her that way
