May Day on May 1 is an ancient Northern Hemisphere spring festival and usually a public holiday; it is also a traditional spring holiday in many cultures.
May Day is related to the Celtic festival of Beltane and the Germanic festival of Walpurgis Night. May Day falls exactly half a year from November 1, another cross-quarter day which is also associated with various northern European pagan and the year in the Northern hemisphere, and it has traditionally been an occasion for popular and often raucous celebrations.
As Europe became Christianized, the pagan holidays lost their religious character and either changed into popular secular celebrations, as with May Day, or were merged with or replaced by new Christian holidays as with Christmas, Easter, Pentecost and All Saint's Day. In the twentieth and continuing into the twenty-first century, many neopagans began reconstructing the old traditions and celebrating May Day as a pagan religious festival again.
The earliest May Day celebrations appeared in pre-Christian times, with the festival of Flora, the Roman goddess of flowers, and the Walpurgis Night celebrations of the Germanic countries. It is also associated with the Gaelic Beltane. Many pagan celebrations were abandoned or Christianized during the process of conversion in Europe. A more secular version of May Day continues to be observed in Europe and America. In this form, May Day may be best known for its tradition of dancing the maypole dance and crowning of the Queen of the May. Various Neopagan groups celebrate reconstructed (to varying degrees) versions of these customs on May 1st.

The rock on which I stand is slowly sinking in the sand
The sheer realities of life are rushing by
I am looking out at life and I don't know what's wrong or right
And I can't even see the bright side of the moon
I stopped a man in the street today
And I asked him "Sir, is it night or day?"
He just stared (smiled) in disbelief
I asked again but he walked away
He said "Don't you know?"
I said "Can't you say? Is there something inbetween?
Is it something I've not seen?
Did it change so fast or was it just a dream?"
Time and time again I've tried to recreate the past few days
Evaluate the constants from the haze
But every time I think I'm right, they say I'm wrong
"This day is night and night is day -
It's there in black and white"
Night is light and dark is day
If I disagree they say I'm insane
And the treatment will begin
If I say that the day is light
They just point my eyes to the blinding night, saying
"We can't set you free if you always disagree,
So the State is going to pay your doctor's fee"
They put me out in the pouring rain
To enjoy the sun or to feel the pain
Of the nightmare life's become
I asked a man in the street today
Or was it yesterday or the day before?
"Is there something I've not seen?
Is there something inbetween?
Did it change so fast or was it just a dream?"
The rock on which I stand is now beneath the ever-flowing sand
The sheer realities are here to stay
I'm looking out at life and now I know what's wrong and right
It's what you hear and what you read and what they say
I saw a man in the street today
Ask another man "Is it night or day?"
He just stared (smiled) in disbelief
He said "Friend, it's your lucky day
I'm a party man, won't you step this way?"
I've got something you've not seen
Now I know it's not a dream
The rock on which I stand is slowly sinking in the sand
The sheer realities of life are rushing by
I am looking out at life and I don't know what's wrong or right
And I can't even see the bright side of the moon
I stopped a man in the street today
And I asked him ";Sir, is it night or day?";
He just stared (smiled) in disbelief
I asked again but he walked away
He said ";Don't you know?";
I said ";Can't you say? Is there something inbetween?
Is it something I've not seen?
Did it change so fast or was it just a dream?";
Time and time again I've tried to recreate the past few days

But every time I think I'm right, they say I'm wrong
";This day is night and night is day -
It's there in black and white";
Night is light and dark is day
If I disagree they say I'm insane
And the treatment will begin

I've got something you've not seen

It just came so fast, that something inbetween
Hey you, with your head held high
In-bred on the 4th of July
Hey you, situation low
Burnt down everything you know
Shut it!
I said you, did your nation pride
Born dead on the 4th of July

Burnt down everyone you know
Cause I just talk to bitches who always deny
Cause I just fuck on a page of your bible
May Day!
I don't feel alive
May Day!
Cuz I was born in america on the 4th of Lies
Oh my!
Shut it!
I said you, with your breast-fed lies
Your mother's cunt is open wide
I said you, crawling backing low
Burn down everyone you know
Cause I just turn all those bitches always alive
See this porno's based on survival
May Day!
I don't feel alive
May Day!
Cuz I was born in america on the 4th of July
Oh my!
Fuck your history - buried in lies
Fuck your history - buried in lies

Take your life and burn it alive
Buried alive

Buried in lies
May Day..
Barely alive on...
you here that sound
the rain is coming down
it says there's a ripeness setting in
the children spin around 'til they crash into the ground
singing welcome home forever once again
and when you hear that spirits call
there ain't no use to fight
and if you want to eat tomorrow
you better sow your seed tonight
you feel that fire lift your body higher
an old old dance is growing here
better kiss me soon
while the blossoms are in bloom
or you might just have to wait another year
you feel that beat
come on move your feet
old man winter's dead and gone
ther'll be wiggling of the toes
there'll be taking off of clothes
I wandered up to what I thought was your door
I'd only been there a hundred times before
I gave it my most polite rap and wish
I held my heart loosely in my other fist
The dead of winter in North Hollywood
The struggling actress and her flash flood
Smell of perfume cash and love
The sucker punch with a horseshoe in the glove
Sayin' if I held you up, would that be enough?
I gave you all that I was capable of
Would that be enough?
Would that be enough?
A trailer park tycoon last June
A telegraph a flash and a boom
An autumn like there never was
A why and because
Hopin' if I held you up would that be enough?
If I gave you all that I was capable of
Would that be enough?
Would that be enough?
The front porch
The long road
A train whistle
There she goes
Wanna be with you, in everything I do,
I wanna see you, every day and night,
When I was so lonely, I felt this strong desire to love,
But it went too quickly, and now I´m burning - hot,
And now I´m burning hot...
I wanna be with you,
In everything I do,
I wanna see you,
Every day and night...
Can´t get enough of you,
You make the day go through,
And everything right now,
Just seems so right...
When I was oh so lonely,
I felt the strong desire to love,
Everything´s gone too quickly,
´Cause now I´m burning hot...
May Day - I´m falling in love again...
May Day - I´m falling in love...
May Day - I´m falling in love again...
Once more - the dangerous game...
Remember every time,
I feel I lose my mind,
With hot emotions,
I might lose control...
The passion is so strong,
And something can go wrong,
But risky business,
Can well be my goal...
I can be sad or happy,
And that´s the danger of your love,
I can just hope I´m lucky,
On a street I can't forget
Came this girl I'd never met
Such a beautiful landslide she brought
When she smiled and broke
My train of thought
In the afternoon breeze
The trees applaud
When she turned to notice me
I didn't think my heart was so light
An unknown girl in white
I’ve never told how I felt for you
I said it isn’t so
But now I’m givin’ the news to you
An’ I won’t take a “no”
You’ll have to be the one
Who takes my love away
I like to turn you on
When you decide to stay
Chorus:
Mayday, I love you so much
I can’t get enough boy
Crazy it will carry on
I just wanna be with you
Mayday, I love you so much
You gotta treat me right boy
Crazy it will carry on
An’ I wanna be with you
You knock me out with your fantasies
An’ that should never stop
But when you start makin’ love to me
I feel it on and on
You’ll have to be the one
Who takes my love away
I like to turn you on
When you decide to stay
Chorus
You’ll never realise
Where I was going true
Na, na, na
We kiss in public
That early when the cameras are live
In your republic
All the loving in our nest, it has died
They’ve seen how we party
I’ve broke that creature post-guarded love
But you’re too hot this
Every power and we incorrect
You broke my heart
But that’s just the start
You broke my heart
But still we don’t part
You make the love I have restart
You say the arms are shaped in fire
You let the cool I gave up dancing in smoke
We’ve really really come too far
Wake up to play day
I tried your cold cheef
I crush sweaty frinch form your eyes
And now a scandal
And I cover your ass one more time
You broke my heart
But that’s just the start
You broke my heart
But still we don’t part
You make the love I have restart
You say the arms are shaped in fire
You let the cool I gave up dancing in smoke
We’ve really really come too far
Wake up to play day
Wake up to play day
Wake up to play day
Wake up to play day
Wake up to play day
Wake up to play day
You make the love I have restart
You say the arms are shaped in fire
You let the cool I gave up dancing in smoke
We’ve really really come too far
Well I don't care your cameras caught me crying as I left your gates
Or that your maintenance men they caught our last embrace
Well you were on the verge of tears when I first knew I would know you
And now your ancient black tears they stain your robe
Calypso will come with me on that morning April day
To the city of my childhood in a cage
On the broad back of the earth we will drive twelve hours straight
And we'll take turns feeling crazy and okay
On May Day, May Day listen for the sound
Of the ambulances singing rounds drowning out the blue
Well the Captain of America he sings through his toothpaste
And the bubbles of his words will float away
As he gargles out a hymn in the funny fish voice way
And all the sorrow seems to go away
On May Day, May Day listen for the sound
Of the Geiger counters counting down
To one and blast off baby to the inter-space of stars
Out to the star encrusted boulevard
On May Day, May Day can you hear the sound
Of the megaphones calling out instructions
And I need your quiet empire where forgetful Persians roam
And with two hands full of silver I'll go home
Return me to my kingdom where my children wait for me
To build them flying saucers ...
On May Day, May Day they are going down
Send the fleet of black-and-whites wailing downtown
