Infinity gives me chills 
So could the waters of Iceland 
But there's a difference in finding diamonds in rust 
And rhinestones in a dishpan 
Miracles bowl me over 
And often will they do so 
Now I think I was asleep till I heard 
The voice of the great Caruso 
Bring infinity home 
Let me embrace it one more time 
Make it the lilies of the field 
Or Caruso in his prime 
A friend of mine gave me a tape 
She'd copied from a record disc 
It was made at the turn of the century 
And found in a jacket labeled "misc." 
And midst cellos, harps, and flugelhorns 
With the precision of a hummingbird's heart 
Was the lord of the monarch butterflies 
One-time ruler of the world of art 
Bring infinity home 
Let me embrace it one more time 
Make it the lilies of the field 
or Caruso in his prime 
Yes, the king of them all was Enrico 
Whose singular chest could rival 
A hundred fervent Baptists 
Giving forth in a tent revival 
True he was a vocal miracle 
But that's only secondary 
It's the sould of the monarch butterfly 
That I find a little bit scary 
Bring infinity home 
Let me embrace it one more time 
Make it the lilies of the field 
Or Caruso in his prime 
Perhaps he's just a vehicle 
To bear us to the hills of Truth 
That's Truth spelled with a great big T 
And peddled in the mystic's booth 
There are oh so many miracles 
That the western sky exposes 
Why go looking for lilacs 
When you're lying in a bed of roses? 
Bring infinity home 
Let me embrace it one more time 
Make it the lilies of the field 
Or Caruso in his prime
