Never thought he’d ever
get his metal boat
to fly in the air,
Moses did it...
With a string at each end,
We nearly all died
when he tugged and he sighed
saying “you are the fools”,
Moses did it...
With his hair tied to his shoes.
Come around here
they say you’ve got something to hide.
I’ve never met a man like Moses
with so much time.
Moses had a thought
to put another hill
on a mountain,
Moses did it...
With a spoon in each hand.
To our surprise
Moses closed up his eyes
saying “show me no rules”,
Moses did it...
With his arms tied to his side.
Come around here
they say you’ve got something to hide.
I’ve never met a man like Moses
with so much time.
Came the great day
Moses tried to drink a lake
for a penny
Moses did it...
O man, he looked heavy
He walked around all day
saying “I’ve got so much pain,
give me a shove”,
Moses did it...
Look with your own eyes
see with your own mind
Look, it's all around
you can see it now
Little boy covered in make-up, what has the world done to him?
You think I’m only joking, But I tell you, you’re not getting through.
We give all our lives for you, just we two, never get away.
We give all our love to you, just we two, never get away, never get away.
Your mind growing older, what has this life done to him?
You think we’re only joking, but I tell you, you’re not getting through.
We give all our lives for you, all day through, never give away.
Listen, to these thoughts as they drift away
Worried times
Can turn around all the things we do
Blinded
By veils we hang to avoid the truth
Searching for the times that we lose in youth
Listen
There is no light within my eyes
As darkness comes with no surprise
Shifting shadows on the wall
As night begins to fall
Times so hard hurts me deep inside
But life keeps on movin’ ‘tho’ daybreak seems so
Far away
Listen
Listen can you hear me
Confusion takes me as I sing this song
Leaves me nothing to do but try again
When the King of Twilight shows me
I will take ten steps to see
Forty leaves I pay for freedom
For a chance to be free
For a chance to be free
When the King of Twilight calls you
Take a step and you will see
We all need a quick solution
For a chance to be free
For a chance to be free
When the King of Twilight shows me
I will take ten steps to see
Forty leaves I pay to freedom
For a chance to be free
For a chance to be...
What a shame
how sick we are
to chase a life
‘til they’re no more
dive - live on
be spared the rule
mother whale your baby cries
she tries to find a place to hide
so far so good
but still misunderstood
far away and out to sea
water king your majesty
please don’t ever fade away
underneath the waves
down below down down
tried so hard to understand
you were here before we man
you will see they’ll disappear
far away and out to sea
water king your majesty
please don’t ever fade away
underneath the waves
Come tomorrow
I’m going to
be the one that
you will follow.
Your world is so
upside down ‘cos
it’s all over now.
Take the high road and you’ll
take the low one,
see it all through those
passing hours,
These moments seem
so inside out
it’s all over now...
It’s all over!
See the daytime you’ve
seen the darkness I’m
torn apart through those
many changes.
A feeling that
you’ll understand,
It’s all over now.
See me walking and
hear me talking. I’ll
guide you all through those
endless ages.
Your world was so
upside down but
it’s all over now.
It’s all over.
A feeling that
you’ll understand
My mind goes round like a roundabout
whistles and sings
darker than darkest night
sweeter than spring
my mind expands to a great degree
a feeling that must be free
all that's left's is you and me
and you're gone
My mind expands to a great degree
a feeling that must be free
all that's left's is you and me
I looked into the morning
What did I see?
A face, another place
another way to be free
So I took one big step
with my hand on my eyes
and hoped that my mind
would be satisfied.
I wish you Good day
I wish you Good day.
I just took one step
when a voice did prevail
If you come any closer
you'll wish you had stayed.
The voice that I heard
didn't do me no good
Cos' I stepped out too far
now the world knows I should.
I wish you Good day
I wish you Good day.
Good day my people
Good day to you now,
I'm gonna leave you forever
You live in stainless forts,
with glass walls around,
Fight against recourses
with your head in the ground,
A nation's urgent greed
fulfils anothers greed
going down down down
down down down down
Fly across the concrete jungle
high in the clouds
Looking up to crystal mountains so proud.
No need to wonder why
nature slowly dies
going down down down
Going down down down
(Spoken)
Und now, are you ready for this one? You will like it, kiddies.
We present for your fervent felicitations, the fabulous, futuristic, far-fetched feats of the fearless Fidgety Queen!
She’s so fidgety when we’re alone.
She’s so hard to take why can’t she know?
But I’ll still take her home,
I know she’s all wrong,
But she’s all right yes she’s all right
but she’s all right with me now. Me now.
She’s so put it on she’s not that way.
When she’s on the make can’t let her go.
And I’ll still take her home,
I know she’s all wrong,
But she’s all right, yes she’s all right
but she’s all right with me now. Me now.
She’s a circus queen she lets you know.
It’s a masquerade she is a show.
But I’ll still take her home,
I know she’s all wrong,
But she’s all right, yes she’s all right
I’m over krakatoa in a microlite
she’s like an overheated stick of dynamite
I could have come to dinner
and maybe stay the night
but I’m over Krakatoa in a microlite
Crossed the purple ocean
in the belly of a whale
searched for true enlightenment
and the holy grail
Preacher always told me
don’t give up without a fight
so I’m over Krakatoa in a microlite
Sailed across the desert
my ship was full of fleas
an itch I couldn’t scratch
brought me to my knees
Had to change direction
so here I am tonight
buzzin’ Krakatoa with my microlite
can you see me now
Oh, Willie got the second kind of billing
Got me going on a cross town village.
You’ll sing a song, I’ll sing along, you got it made now.
You’ve got it made for Saturday, Willie
I’ll be around, you’ve got the sound, you got the feeling.
Get it on home, you’ve got the song, get it on, Willie.
Oh, Willie got the second kind of billing
Got me going on a cross town village.
You’ll sing a song, I’ll sing along, you got it made now.
Ten o’clock and you’ve got to be going,
go get the band, I’ll be around, play me that song.
(Spoken)
Ladies and gentlemen, Daman and Herren, Mesdames et Messieurs,
Caballeros and Horsewomen of the world. I give you the fantastic Nelly and her performing elephants’
An extraordinary exhibition of animal dexterity from the jungles of darkest Africa!
The elephant’s tusk is very valuable, but, an elephant is very hard to catch.
This is Robot 13 speaking
planet Earth is turning round
Although my mind is gently weeping
I know my hope is coming to an end
Evil is in your heart now
Disillusion is in your soul
Oh my dear god can you really hear me?
If so, then please help me find a way
Although my eyes are gently sleeping
A great shining eye suspended in space
A great shining eye
shot rays through my face
Making me one
with space and time
to sense in a pulse
of bright coloured sound
Life is an illusion where you and me
infinity is reality
Suddenly
I saw everything
there is to see
I was that eye!
Sudden thoughts
pushed through my brain
was I blind?
Or was I insane?
Sudden thoughts
of ecstasy
were horrible
I saw it all
I felt it all
I lived it all
I understood it all
Never needed time love,
Cos' it's the only way.
My feet are on the ground
but my head is all around.
Don't need no wings to fly away,
don't need no love for today.
Watching all the world
floating in the sky.
Waiting for the word
wind of change
tide of time
is it real?
or is it just
my mind?
turn the key
open your door
don't make believe
Once I understood what is life
sometimes it hurts me like a knife
I dug into the past
saw the things
had got to change
looked ahead
life is very strange
can't be dead
thoughs a–new
were coming to my head
Start to turn in on myself
looped through in my own flesh
Turned to keep
from screaming
at the glory and the terror
in what I saw
Ice that formed around me
had to thaw
at the glory and the terror
It’s not the way you do it, it’s more the way you try
Life is just confusion and that's the reason why.
Take away the killer, take away his knife
Take away his reasons, give him back his life.
Ooh, la la life, ooh, la la life, Ooh la la life
ooh, la la la la la la la is life,

Now he feels his heart-beat, let him have a chance.
More than many people crying in their hands.
He can see the nightmares, now he sees the light.
Giving him no Reasons, Aggressiveness or fight.

Ya, Frauen und herren, so ist das lieben, yes ladies and gentlemen, that is life
Show me the way, I can’t find peace of mind.
Help me fare in every way.
Nothing but to fall
Change what you tried to do.
Hey, it’s the end.
You may try to be old but I’m told you’re too young.
Don’t despair I’ll really show you now.
Riches all around
painted
on the ground.
Takes a long time, please come back
if you can
Show me the way, Not to float to here.
In my mind ropes UN-twine
Please don’t be long
Dream, away on the waves,
using the money you've saved,
Our work is done, we'll bathe in the sun
gonna take a trip let's fly down to Rio.
Some solitude is all that we need,
[Bluebird decides to give the boy new eyes.
The boy realises now who his friend is. He
asks questions and makes suggestions and in
turn receives from Bluebird wisdom and the
answer to every question. Bluebird then
departs knowing that his message had at
last been heard.]
[Boy:]
I can see you, I can hear you
I can see you, I can hear you
I can see you, I can hear you
I can see you, I can hear you
I can see it all
when I look into your eyes
I can sense it all
when I look into your skies
I can see, oh I can feel
you are me
and that's the way it has to be
you are me
I can feel it all
when I look behind your smile
I can hear it all
when I look behind your mind
I can sense, oh I can feel
you are me
and that's the way it's always been
you are me
Bluebird, what do you see
Bluebird, what do you feel
[Bluebird:]
I feel everything
I see life, I see stars
and I can't care for anything
[Boy:]
Bluebird, where have you been
Bluebird, what have you seen
[Bluebird:]
I've been everywhere
I've seen all around
and I can't warn against anything
[Boy:]
smile if you want to
not when you can
break down if you want to
not when you can
follow me home
'cos tomorrow, tomorrow never comes
[Bluebird:]
you stand before me, fate in your hand
you say tomorrow will never begin
follow me home
'cos today is tomorrow yesterday
walking down lonely roads
what do I see?
won't be long
till they come again free
name your place, name mine too
where we will be?
won't be long
till they crucify me
here they come, here they come
here they come, see them run
see them run, see them run
see them run, watch them go now...
[Boy:]
I can see you
through the morning mist and the evening too
I can hear you
getting closer now to the living truth
you say that life has no end
but believe me, you've got to pretend
becasue I can see you
coming closer now to the living truth
let it grow, yeah
someday
you're gonna let it show
[Bluebird:]
I can see you
come close to me and I'll tell you true
I can feel you
listen carefully to what I say to you
I tell you life has no end
there is no need for you to pretend
'cos you see you
believe yourself that's all you have to do
gonna let it grow
someway
you gotta let it show
you know that I can't stop it
you know that I can't stop it
you know that I can't stop it
you know, you know that I...
you know that I can't stop it
you know that I can't stop it
you know, you know that I...
you know that I can't stop it
let it grow
you know you need no sympathy
you don't realise how much you needed me
you will realise it's better when you give
'cos your life is longer than you live
the laws of nature
are to heal the wounds of man
use them rightly
and they will help you if they can
wrongly used
and you will only harm yourselves
then it's too late
to come to me for help
don't walk away
give it a chance
let it grow
let it grow
let it grow
Take a trip back in time
Life evolving growing higher
Not just space that bluebird sees
In the sea a new domain
E-vo-lu-tion
E-vo-lu-tion
Swimming forth came on land
Beast to ape grasping hands
Thinking kill never ran
Lived in caves enter man
E-vo-lu-tion
E-vo-lu-tion
Tamed the fire prophesied
Length of day and height of sky
Made his tools chased his meal
Then progressed he built the wheel
Falling down from heaven
Twisted leaves - so twisted
Still so strong after all those
L-I-E-S
I can see the meaning
Twisted trees - so twisted
Spin the wheel of never ending
T-I-M-E
Blessed were the ways of the creatures in their caves
Who hold the last clue in the life of me and you
They had to fight to make good their rights
And Bluebird could not stir
Who made you and who made me
Whose are the eyes of the world that looked at me
Falling from their saddles
Victories lost battles
Spin the wheel of never ending
L-I-F-E
Blessed were the ways of the sinners in their graves
Who saved the last place in the shade for me and you
Forty Thousand teeth were beared
As if to rip the flesh already torn
Who made you and me
Whose were the eyes of the world that looked at me
I was the first to see it all
When rainbow crossed the bridge at dawn
Forty billion miles I came to tell this tale
Already told
Who made you and who made me
Whose are the eyes of the world we're looking through
Remember the future
Remember the future
Remember the future
Remember the first time
I came here the last time
Remember the future will always be there
But now that it's over
I'll see you the next time
Remember the future is yours
Remember the future
Remember the future
And now that you've seen me
I see it's behind you
Remember the future will always be there
And so I have told you
You see what's before you
Remember the future is yours
Remember the future
Remember the future
Remember the future
Here, there, new wonders gently steal,
disguised distorted like moonlit seas
...and I see
you've taken all you need,
queue up, don't fear
there's mans new fortune here...you hear.
Song-birds, recycling, the same old tune,
Still you slave onwards, 'till all is used.
...tho' I'll see
you'll get the life you need,
queue up don't fear,
Talk away, the die is cast
all the day, the reasons last.
Just look what is happening here
see, never a day without fear...It's here!
Calm me down, I have to share
before the world I stand declared.
Hear these words at the end of the day
come never a moment too soon. or late.
Man! You had it all your own way,
Now, salvaging blocks of decay.
Clean the scene;
Call me down, the time is here
reminding you to slow the wheel
now, nearing the end of the day,
look, never a moment too soon, or late.
Count the hours, the weeks the days,
forcing natures' slow decay
here, as we look down on you there
you, fall on into your web of despair.
Man! You had it all your own way,
Now, salvaging blocks of decay.
Clean the scene;
Oh comes the morning, the sun is still yawning,
The light has brought day to us here
as the breeze summons buds on the trees to reappear
It's the morning re arranged
The light has brought day to us here
as the breeze summons buds on the trees to re appear
It's the morning re arranged through the dawning.
In the mist slowly stirring the ground
Lonely feelings with grease paint and saw dust around.
Don't take me for what I am worth
We can make it if only my feet can touch the earth.
Oh it's the morning warm rays are a falling
Through the leaves with fresh dew on their face
ever moving to find the right place to catch the sun.
It's the morning re arranged
The light has brought day to us here
as the breeze summons buds on the trees to re appear
It's the morning re arranged through the dawning
In the mist slowly stirring the ground
Lonely feelings with grease paint and saw dust around.
Don't take me for what I am worth
Smiles by day and hides by night
don’t look so good in candlelight
watch that smile, she’s oh so vain
botox beauty for all her pain
Doctor Kool, blow my mind, smooth the lines away
Doctor Kool, take your time, keep the years at bay
pain makes perfect, so I’m told
your credit cards are just overload
botox beauty, you can’t sleep, don’t you know, it’s just skin deep
cash no object, don’t care who pays, silicon to boost your trade
keep your distance, ‘cause it’s no joke, this transformation is overload
I don’t know you now, hows that make you feel
what a price to pay...surreal!!!
Who’s that lady, I don’t know, she ain’t mine, but she’s gotta go
keep your distance, ‘cause it’s no joke, this transformation is overload
One day you’ll wake up, and you’ll see, the mirror says it’s time
you face up to your makeup, you can’t smile, it’s time to draw the line
your love of cool just made me pay, it’s got you good it’s gone too far
aint gonna pay no more..
Take a look around yourself
and see what I see
Persecuted eyes, looking down on me
I can’t take no more
of what I took before
Help me please I’m falling down
Desolation Valley
Take a look around yourself
and see what I see
Imagination merged with reality
You won’t see no more
like you did before
Watch yourself you’re falling down
Desolation Valley
Quiet section in the Middle requires unison line on lead up to talk vocal
Two part harmony on talk vocal:
Wind of change
tide of time
Is it real?
Or is it just
my mind?
Turn the key
Open your door,
Don’t make believe
you’ve seen this before
take a look around yourself
and see what I see
persecuted eyes
look down on me
I can't take no more
of what I took before
help me please, I'm falling down
Desolation Valley now
take a look around yourself
and see what I see
imagination merged
with reality
you won't see no more
like you did before
watch yourself, you're falling down
I've been trying
trying so hard
I've been crying
crying in the dark
don't forsake me
the time of man is near
don't ever break me
and the world that brought me here
sick and lonely
waiting for you
sick and lonely
wondering what to do
can you hear me?
when I say to you
you give me your hand
Cares cast aside
see the seas calm and wide.
Small isle,
virgin paradise,
Warm smiles
floating in the tides.
Find some desolate place
now it's out of the way
Soon, through words passed by mouth,
Friends are crowding you out,
Same place
natures changed its face,
Warm smiles
stretching out for miles.
Searching in haste
Out here the stars are still shining
Recalling — events
Of pleasures that were just yesterday
Now reality finds you
Alone as a man
Trying to find the strength to be one
There’s so many just like you
Just hanging out there
Waiting to deliver the night
They could easily find you
And all I’ve got are fears
Of turning camouflage to white
Lady luck sits beside you
You pray with your life
She takes you home with her one more time
Measure your understanding
The situations born
A need to function and stay alive
When reality finds you
The days of your life
Open up before your own eyes
It so easily found you
And all your darkest fears
Have turned this camouflage to white
Chant:
I know
At night
That you
Never see the light
So dark
Like you
Alone
Where is my day?
Where are my nights?
They've all gone to sleep
They all said goodnight
Where are my days?
Where are my nights?
Won't you tell me?
Very soon there's gonna come a day
when they're all gonna run away
leaving only lifeless forms of yesterday
You keep saying the time is almost here
but I know within my mind you only live in fear
Now the sense that stops me going blind
makes me wish that I was drinking wine
leaving only lifeless forms that used to be my mind
Webs of concrete giving off waste dust that marks the search of an age of a thousand vast empires, Sweeping away legends untold to human ears. While shafts of steel clutch the stars, natural supplies...once numerous..now lapse into eerie silence recycled energy becomes the only form of life as it was and now new forms are moulded from patterns already used in a struggle to survive!
You had me thinking that I lost my mind
but no, it was you.
Thought you'd make it to a better time
'til now, but it's through.
Your castles made of sand
hold out out your helpless hands
going down down down
downdown down down
They take it all
then take much more...today,
no man could ever realize
his mistakes,
They will help you one step down...
sit back... and watch you drown
going down down down
Going down down down
Back in town with the biggest show around
Strike up with the band
it's time for Astral Man
Don't know where he'll be landing
from his tightrope in the sky
Don't know if he will make it.
Close your eyes
watch him fly
Astral Man
turning in relation to the ground
Burning, please remember what you see
Returning together down to earth
oh oh oh yeh oh, oh oh yeh, oh oh oh yeh
Down to earth
Astral Man how gracefully he lands
Thrills all 'round
his antics know no bounds.
Don't know what he'll be doing
on his his tightrope in the sky
he thrills the little children
Close your eyes
watch him fly
Astral Man
turning in relation to the ground
Burning, please remember what you see
Returning together down to earth
oh oh oh yeh oh, oh oh yeh, oh oh oh yeh
Down to earth
Astral Man acknowledges the band
People clap
they appreciate his his act.
he bows towards the people
and leaves the ring behind
Hoping he has given
money's worth
watch him fly
Astral Man
turning in relation to the ground
Burning, please remember what you see
Returning together down to earth
oh oh oh yeh oh, oh oh yeh, oh oh oh yeh
Down to earth
Climb aboard Imaginary waves
Of thoughts beneath the veils of bluey green
Armoured horses with sparkling sunset eyes
Give a passing glance
Funny creatures with funny plastic lives
Purple thrones are set in deep disguise
Neptunes world around us lies
Wake up!! Take a chance, climb aboard
Life is changing the oceans floor
The time is near, when nothings clear
Nothing left!!
Falling, I’m only falling
To the answer to every question
Is it real, or just deception?
Taste, touch and find
What it is, that’s in your mind
Truth can be yours
So let it come
Just like it did before
Sorrow, there’s no tomorrow
And the answer to every mans question
Is it real, or just deception
Taste, touch and find
What it is, that’s in your mind
Truth can be yours
So let it come
Just like it did before
Soon now
As night turns in to day
And minds step out to play
In the sun
Forever
This feeling will be yours
A feel you cannot ignore
It’s the one you’ve waited for
Do you see? Do you see?
Do you do you see? Do you see?
Do you see the ruins
of a life gone by?
Built upon by burning towers
lighting the sky,
Imagine you're the prince of eagles
tears in your eyes,
Do you see there's not much time
before we go
down down...
Fathers of the stars
We came and now we part
You know only time will tell
The answers to our dreams at night
Saviours of our hearts
We came in peace with god
It seems, were searching for amends
For those children we won't see again
Old man, sitting in his daydream A romance, o book that no-one else sees
But he knows, there's some things that we can't be
He's the giver, and spirit of a mans dream
Please take it away
I can't stay anymore
Phazed, phazed by the storm
I can't take anymore
Old man, the day you came to
see me
You gave me, more than just a vision It was a passion, my heavy heart became free
Free to wonder and taste the fruit of life's tree
Please take it away
I can't stay anymore
I'm phazed, phazed by the storm
I can't stay in this world
Please take me away
Old man sitting
In his daydream
No-one can know
What he's thinking
Let your mind stroll
Let your heart roam
Spread your Wings
Nektar
You've left me screaming at the cellar door
You've got me begging let me have some more
You come so close you know it feels real nice
But look out babe I can be cold as ice.
Shake it babe I'll watch you do your thing
Goin' through the motions makes me want to sing
Don't tantalize me honey soon you'll see
That I'll be cruising you'll be loosin me
Open up spread your wings let me have some more
Deny my honey I'll be walking out that door
Open up tried to leave couldn't find the key
Couldn't fight it do that thing that you do to me
You come too late to catch the early show
When I've got time you always have to go
Don't five and dime me no more song and dance
Step in line girl come on now's your chance
Choo choo choo baby train is leaving soon
Chu chu chugging just on your perfume
No use complaining time to realize
That you've been used just maybe once or twice
refrain
Open up spread your wings let me have some more
Deny my honey I'll be walking out that door
Open up tried to leave couldn't find the key
Couldn't fight it do that thing that you do to me
Child of mine
Open your eyes
And you'll see What dreams hold for you
Newly born
Child of mine
Beating heart
Heart beating strong
Reaching arms
Come to me now
Newly born Child of mine
Ooh. Child of mine
Trust in me
Newly born
Child of mine
Away from Asgard
Nektar
Dawn the Minstrel
Distant Runner
Turn the Handle
Mystic Wonder
Fire turn the ore into steel
Chariots of Thor turn your wheels
Away from Asgard his hammer needed in the
North
The warring people will know his power and his
Force.
Trees burning sky's fiery red today
Wheels turning winds coming back again
Bless the seeds that we sow help them grow
Wheat covered fields into bread keep us fed
We'll work in the sun til it's done
Not giving up til we've won
Oktoberfest Celebration
The harvests in the winters coming
Streets alive with people dancing
Music fills the air
Alpine horns through valleys echo
Months of toil turn to leisure
Aged lines sun parched faces
Now to be released
Down on your knees hide your eyes
Light like a hole in the sky
Fire turning ore into steel
Chariots of Thor turn your wheels
Away from Asgard his hammer needed in the
North
The warring people will know his power and his force
Trees burning sky's fiery red today
Wheels turning winds coming back again
Dawn the Minstrel
Distant runner
Turn the handle
We searched the ocean
deep and wide
looking for our star
Playing with the
sands of time
You and I
You and I
At the time I was a little boy
All my senses were in bloom
The forests were adventure
There dwelt the legends of my mind
I was the keeper of the golden key
I made all the rules
I only had to dream to create the scene
Magic is a child
Imagination is alive
Magic is imagination
A child is alive
How the trees were so high
The cheese in the sky
Were part of my imagination
I was goblins and elves
With small mushroom shelves
As Brothers Grimm would tell their stories
Opening my eyes in the morning I would see
Patterns in the trees making shapes that were a
Face to me
In those tireless times
And those carefree lines
That we draw ourselves
But they're never kept
I know magic is a child
Imagination is alive
Magic is imagination
A child is alive
Magic is a child
Imagination is alive
Magic is a child
After the fall
And tears roll away
The pain and the truth
Of the lessons we learned
Start to fade
The arrogant child
He thought he knew best
Creating the scale of the ruin
That laid us to rest
Now that it's gone
And we failed her test
Can she be reached
It's the mother of all
Who knew best
After the fall
These clouds drift away
We pick up remains of the life we have left
In a 747 or the Santa Maria
The new world is the focus of the
Foreigners dreams
Takes to the sea he takes to the skies
Money he blows goes up his nose he wont care
He may arrive in New York or the Spanish steps
In Rome
He's a spirit looking harder for the place
He'll call home
New kingdom in the making though the odds
against him's high
In the splendor of the morning
He is now arriving at the platform someplace
on the train from nowhere
There is no one there to meet the stranger
But you'll see he wont care
Passing through the borders with a smile upon his face
He always has to slow down just to join the human race
Which takes him through his life at only twice the normal pace
And as soon as he's rested he'll do it again
Now arriving at the platform someplace
It's the train from nowhere
There is no one there to meet the stranger
But you'll see he wont care
Passing through the borders with a smile pon his face
He always has to slow down when he joins the human race
Which takes him through his life at only twice the normal pace
And as soon as he's rested he'll do it again
Doesn't know when he won't care
Catch me if you can I just can't stop falling
Mother of my dreams I'll end my days with you
Don't let me down, stay with me now
The river of your dreams will carry me forever
To treasures still unknown and love I've yet to see
Don't stay away, hold tight and say
At the start of it all
I really thought we'd come through
You said greed had evolved
I couldn't take in that view
Now tell me the truth
Is a rich man better served
Are the ways of this world so bad
That I can't stand up to you
Show me a freedom that this world can earn
('Cause your lady is waiting)
Cross all your bridges and step down to old Mother earth
(She is always worth saving)
At the break of that day
Deliberations came through
They said what can be done
Is it too late to choose
Now, who can we trust
Who can we believe
Does a man have to beg so hard
That he's down on his knees
Out of the shadows a light will emerge
(Now your freedoms evolving)
Take it with both of your hands it's time to asert
(Make a show I'll be coming)
Show me a freedom that someone can give in return
('Cause your lady is waiting)
Cross all your bridges and step down to old mother earth
(She is always worth saving)
Out of the shadows a light will emerge
(Now your freedoms evolving)
Take it with both of your hands it's time to asert
(Make a show I'll be coming)
Show me a freedom that someone can give in return
('Cause your lady is waiting)
Cross all your bridges and step down to old mother earth
(She is always worth saving)
Show me a freedom that this world can earn
('Cause your lady is waiting)
Cross all your bridges and step down to old mother earth
On the one side there are those who think we should wait
And on the other some of us are chasing the day
It's just crazy there's nothing more that this world can give
Yet this selfish human kind are searching once again
How do you say that the world has been drained, it's the end
How do you know when the bubble explodes what is left
Do we believe after all that we've seen it's just fate
I tell you my friend before it's the end
Let's Debate
Oh let's debate
It's so easy and clear as day for all of us to see
Though people wonder what a million tomorrows will bring
I see the future, a low budget radio active play
A land laid bare and empty, a soulless place of darkness, dust and pain
How do you say that the world has been drained, it's the end
How do you know when the bubble explodes what is left
Do we believe after all that we've seen it's just fate
I tell you my friend before it's the end
Let's Debate
Debate, debate, debate
It's just crazy, there's nothing more that this world can give
And yet this selfish human kind are searching once again
It's so easy and clear as day for all of us to see
People wonder what a million tomorrows will bring
How do you say that the world has been drained, it's the end
How do you know when the bubble explodes what is left
Do we believe after all that we've seen it's just fate
I tell you my friend before it's the end
Let's Debate
Debate, debate, debate
Try as we may we just can't stop the slide
Were dancing on into the void
An army of users that take it in vain
Destruction of what we hold true
To cradle this earth, hold hands in the night
And fight for what we believe
Savor the day that the future will
That maybe our children will see
Cherish the thought that it won't last that long
The sell-by dates now at an end
Just finish your Starship and climb on aboard
It's time to go searching again
Finish your Starship and climb on aboard
Water flowing
life evolving
Weapon making
Burning baking
System user
Real-time abuser
There's no solution
Just evolution
Life was so simple
Had everything we need
And everything was clean
Now there's no stopping
Hang your head in shame
We're dancin' into the void again
Never ending
Patent pending
Endless craving
Widow making
Life was so simple
Had everything we need
And everything was clean
Now there's no question
Hang your head in shame
We're dancin' into the void again
Make your decisions
Put yourself in the queue
Prepare yourself for the move
Now there's no stopping
Just hang your head in shame
We're doncin' into the void again
Lets just draw a picture
Of this world we all live in
There's nothing that you can't erase
Or even pencil in
No self respecting alien
Would give a second glance
Let's face it, it's a hopeless task
We haven't got a chance
So how we gonna market
This old bubble we call ours
When it's battered, bruised,
exhausted
And counting down the hours
We could take it off the market
And do some D.I.Y.
But how do you a loin forest
Or mend holes in the sky
Our drains just ain't big enough
To take El Nino
So unless we build a million arks
We'll have nowhere to go
We'll be floatin' on a pond
That'll stretch from there to here
And as long as we keep playing God
We'll have nothing left to lose my friend
But everything to fear
When we're standing there
For the curtain's fall
And the final dance
Is to the void evermore
And you find your star
A million years away
Just remember this
Hey come on over come on in
Tell me how your life has been
Does it catch up on the run
Life is like the setting sun
Beautiful but then it's gone
Does it catch you on the run
Are yesterdays dreams all that's left on my mind
Nobody answers but the voice from inside
And it's so long since I had time for a phone call
It's been so long dontcha know what I mean
Finding me someone to say
Tell me how you feel
Tell me that it's real today
Does it catch you on the run
Hey I hear you're doing well
You must be working hard as hell
Does it catch you on the run
Then I hear music as rhythms revive
Am I still dreaming said the voice from inside
I'm working so hard I feel lazy in the morning
Always on call have to leave without a warning
And it's so long
Since I had you here to talk to
It's been so long dontcha know what I mean
We will be always together
Finally someone to talk to
It takes me high in the sky
Son:
My father said "son, you are much older now
Times come when I think it's too late
The shoes that I wore have long since walked away
I hope that you'll learn from all of my past mistakes"
"And keep your worries behind you"
Watching the sand pass through an hourglass
Painting the blue in the skies
"Dream away" I hear him say
Father:
But keep your worries behind you
So you can see what's before you
Lay my slippers by the fireside
Making this our home as long as we're together
Remember the guiding lines that I taught you now
And keep your worries behind you
So you can see what's before you
Son, since you are older now
It's not too late to begin
There's no doubt about your life
(There's no doubt about your life)
There's no doubt about your life
Father and son:
Just keep your worries behind you
So you can see what's before you
Son:
I see all of my years they are before me
Making the move
No time to prophesize
The secret is out, oh it's not right
We're breathless and out of time
The choice is ours
To stay or go
For always always
In your eyes
I could go or you could stay
I will look
it's up to you my friend
To see where it all began
the secret's out, the choice Is yours
Was it you
we're running out of time
Who really helped
The life of a frightened child
Now I could go
But could you stay
Always .
I could go
But could you stay
For always ... always
Ever
Why must this be forever?
Tell me now
Ever
That sounds so long
And so forever
Never
All that I hear is
Never
Tell me then
If there's a heaven
Why can't it be there inside you?
Ever
Why must this be, forever?
Tell me now
Ever
That sounds so long
And so forever
Never
All that I hear is
Never
Tell me then
If there's a heaven
Why can't it be there inside you?
The secret is out
And times running short
To stay or to go
The choice is still yours
All that I hear
Is what could have been
It's now up to you
[Earth:]
Hey Mister
I can see you up there
Your emotions to me shine on the sea
Stay alive, my friend
[Moon:]
Young man
I can see you down there
Wheels keep on turning and your world keeps on burning
It's not right my friend
[Earth:]
Mister man in the moon
Tell me, what do you mean
[Moon:]
Way before your time
There was just the still of night
No one could see emotions in me
Until now, my friend
[Earth:]
Listen, who can I believe
Heartaches always will be
Mister man in the moon
Help me
Time will remember you
I know
Time will make dreams come true
I know, I know
Time will remember you
I know
Time will make dreams come true
I know, I know
Time will remember you
I know, I know
Time will make dreams come true
Rolling away
Riding the rails in the night
Rhythm in steel
Turning a song in my head
Over and over
Repeats the refrain
Stop, look, seems strange
Years begin to fall away
Seasons all change
Leaves are green then brown again
Wind through my hair
Closing my eyes in the breeze
Senses unreal
Changing the thoughts in my head
Over and over
As we're swept away
*Spook like fascination
There won't be no hesitation
Stretching out imagination
This may be an innovation
Speed of light
Eerie time and space train
We've got her up to full steam
While traveling unseen
We're 200 years from the start
