Comin' in easy on the sea train.
Walkin' out under the fog again,
And the sky don't explain
If I'm up or across or down, town around just like then.
The neon screen will never know when.
Be quiet or dream,
And just not crowd the scenes
Of my mind's sound.
I'm goin' under and comin' on out
To see you again.
My mind's been wanderin', but I'm about
To meet you again.
The rhythm of hearts plays in my veins
Like some long-gone lonesome sea train.
I'm only sure that the weather would break if I did.
They'll come easy, then go glad.
Your child at the window says the rain don't look sad,
And you ask me who's mad
As you show me your lost and found.
Down, you're bound again.
With your fan, my fire turns to wind
Your glass fills mine with sand,
You shout, "I'm not your land!"
And I hear the ground.
I'm a weeping shadows, feeling like a willow
Bearing Martha's flower; as the sun comes, I come.
Far across the street, clear across the stream,
The sun shall come.
If you're in a tree and the forest falls, who hears you?
[musical interlude]
And the hills meet the wind, making dew.
We see us again.
As the sun behind clouds, breaking through,
We're gonna meet them again.
The rhythm of hearts plays through my veins
Like some long-gone lonesome sea train.
Rain in the meadow beats the river to the ocean.
Goin' down the road, road kinda muddy
Got so drunk I can't stay steady
Little piece of pie, little piece of puddin'
I'm gonna give it all to my little Sally Goodin
Goin' down the road, road kinda muddy
Sun's comin' up, you better get ready
I wasn't born with a spoon in my mouth
but I get lucky now and then,
I've traveled north, east, west and south
like any bird in the wind
Wanderin' ways, what have you brought me to
I know what I want to do
I can get lonesome and yearn for home some
but I start to feel just like a pack of fools, fools.
She came along with thunder on her mind
on a stormy day
lookin' me over she smiled and said,
"Where there's a will there's a way"
Hey little one, what have you brought me to
and what would you have me do
I've been changin' and rearrangin'
but you're makin' me feel just like a pack of fools, fools.
I went searchin' for you
all across this whole wide land
and then you found me standin' here
with my heart out in my hand,
I'm a pack of fools, a pack of fools, a pack of fools, a pack of fools, you're makin' me feel just like a pack of fools.
You go away with life at your heels,
where or why I've never known,
comin' back you ask me just how do I feel,
I said, "easy come, easy go"
little one, what have you come to
and what do you mean to do,
I'll always take you back, you know
but you're makin' me feel just like a pack of fools, fools
yes you know you're makin' me feel just like a pack of fools, fools
Out where the hills roll down to where the sea rolls in,
I stood alone, apart on the sand.
All along the riverbed, you came up with waterbuckets
Overflowing in your hand
Sunset is done. Dances begin.
Some gather wood for the fire.
A carpenter hangs rusty tools in a bare tree,
Down by the fire we dance us free, free.
[musical interlude]
Sidewalks run blood!
Fear changes hands.
A human flood
In the land where the streets are the home of the brave.
A white knight, a black sun, and children of shadow
Chant in the rain
While I lean through the night at my window
Love, I want you near me,
Need you not to leave.
I can hear you breathing.
The wind is in the trees.
[musical interlude]
Out where the hills roll down to where the sea rolls in,
Earthmama waves like a field of wheat
With the sun in her hair and a baby in her arms,
And the new moon at her feet.
New days begin. Life's river runs,
The Tree of Life gives her seed.
The Peace bird alights in the branch of a pear tree,
Children of God dance in the Light, forever free.
Love, I need you near me,
Want you not to leave.
Can you hear me breathing?
The winds are in the tree.
Forevermore, forevermore forevermore,
Forevermore, forevermore.
Chorus
Oh Corey, I'll be coming soon
Through the Louisiana pines to the Mississippi moon
Through the Louisiana pines to the Mississippi moon
You tell me you're lonely, I know how you feel
Leaning up at the bars, rocking back on my heels
She's a wild bird that wanders, too easy to stray
I knew she had to lose me to find her own way
Chorus
A wave on the ocean, a whirlwind on the sand
I have a notion that the ship can not land
then light me a candle in the forest so deep
honey lay down here beside me, angels rock us to sleep, angels rock us to sleep
'how good's your hearin'?' the voice said across the wire
'you got marryin' cousins or any for hire?
you got dollars or donuts fresh from the fire?
you got any old sod or any fresh mire?
you got sons who gone loco or whores that you sired?
you got notions or ideas to crawl up on the pyre?
what you got? said the voice I said 'I got Despair Tire'
then spinning around
in the widening gyre
I recalled an old tune
& I figured I'd try her
'I can't hear a thing' I said in a burst
but I could have sworn I wasn't here first'
'that's what I thought' the voice said like a gas
'but I'll guaradoubledamntee you could be the last'
'well thanks but no thanks' I said reaching higher
'& forget the hot rod & leggo Despair Tire'
'o sure' said the cognac
'o sure' said the voice
'o sure' said the answer
which wasn't a choice
'o sure' said the ashes
'o sure' said the fire
'plphughplph' said the motor
yahumnm Despair Tire
there was nothin to it & not much to be
ashoutin & hootin & singin with glee
yet it got pretty gruesome there just by the fall
& come the next Christmas no one stood tall
& now who sits waitin to hear another town crier
come screechin the news that they stole Despair Tire
let em screech till they mantra
let em hem like they haw
let us seek out a sutra
let's hear the crow caw
& sing out a good one
for ma & for pa
& let us dance higher
& may we fly far
& when we get home
Everything is known
There's only clothes upon my bone
My skin's so thin that anybody can look in
If he wants to see me
Temptation is a game
And sin, it is much the same
I can't leave my need
And it's safe to say that
My need just won't leave me
Way over town the back road takes you down
It's such a tired dream
But the sheets are cool and clean
And all the ladies come from New Orleans
I'm just a patient man
Receiving what he can
I go to sleep at dawn
Wake up and write a song
And who could blame me
Way over town the back road takes you down
It's such a tired dream
But the sheets are cool and clean
And all the ladies taste like New Orleans
Everything is known
There's only clothes upon my bone
My skin's so thin that anybody (anybody) can look in
If they want to see me
If they want to see me
In the broken morning,
When the streets were weary and bare,
We stood talking about the empty town
And the people who once lived there.
Through a shade of memory
Came a flash of peace of mind
From days before the complex took the land,
When there was more world and time.
We had all the time in the world
To walk down the road and have a story told.
We had all the time in the world,
While the forest grew and the river still was flowin'.
We watched the city wakening
To fill with robot kings and pawns,
Walking round in the shadow of their days;
Broken morning will soon be gone,
And the evening will not be long.
Don't ya roll those bloodshot eyes at me
I don't know if I could set you free
So if you're not real let me be
Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me
Yes, I dig the rhythm in your walk
You just have to talk to me to stop my clock
And I know you do it just for me to see
Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me
I guess I'm ready, I know myself
but there's places I want to show myself
You .... I could blow my self away
I know what I've been smokin' honey
It ain't worth a token next to you
it's just a poke in the hay
Stop, I can't win 'til I lose
if need be I'll pay me some dues
if this is love then in love I must be
but don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me
(break)
Oh, honey you know I think you're fine
and I know I've been on your mind
but I'm so blind I find it hard to say
Get high enough and you'll get the point now
Come here now honey and put out that joint
and I'll show you what's been on my mind
Stop, I can't win 'til I lose
if need be I'll pay me some dues
if this is love then in love I must be
but don't roll, please leave me my soul,
don't ya roll those beautiful bloodshot eyes at me
I've been warped by the rain,
driven by the snow,
I'm drunk and dirty and dontcha know
That I'm still, yes I'm still
I ride the highway late at night,
I see my pretty Alice in every headlight,
Oh Alice, Alice, Alice
I've been from Tucson to Tucumcari,
Tehachapi to Tonopah,
I've driven every kinda truck that's ever been made,
I've even rode the back roads so I wouldn't get weighed,
if you give me weed, whites and wine,
show me a sign and I'll be willin' to keep on movin', yeah,
I've been kicked by the wind,
driven by the sea,
had my head stoved in,
but I'm still on my feet,
and I'm still, yes I'm still
I smuggled smoke from Mexico,
I get baked by the sun every time I go to Mexico,
yes I'm willin'
I've been from Tucson to Mexicali,
Tehachapi to Tonopah,
I've driven every kinda rig that's ever been made,
I even rode the back roads so I wouldn't get weighed,
if you give me weed, whites and wine,
show me a sign and I'll be willin' to keep on movin', movin', movin', yeah
I've been from Tucson to Mexicali,
Tehachapi to Tonopah,
I've driven every kinda rig that's ever been made,
I even rode the back roads so I wouldn't get weighed,
if you give me weed, whites and wine,
Deep in the darkest hour of a very heavy week,
Three Earthmen did confront me, and I could hardly speak.
They met me in a hurry, they left me tired and sore,
And when I'm fit for wishing, I hope they'll come no more.
When I'm wishing, I hope they'll come no more.
Standing by the exit, with one eye on the door,
I listened to them argue. I asked them "Why? What for?"
They showed me 19 terrors, and each one struck my soul,
They threw me 13 questions, each one an endless hole.
Thirteen questions, each an endless hole.
Did you see the moon last night,
Hung like a Chinese ball?
You should have seen the moon last night
At the party of us all.
Deep in the darkest hour of a very heavy week,
Three Earthmen did confront me, and I could hardly speak.
They showed me 19 terrors, and each one struck my soul,
They threw me 13 questions, each one an endless hole.
What's the matter with me,
I don't have much to say,
Daylight sneakin' through the window
And I'm still in this all-night cafe.
Walkin' to and fro beneath the moon
Out to where the trucks are rollin' slow,
To sit down on this bank of sand
And watch the river flow.
Wish I was back in the city
Instead of this old bank of sand,
With the sun beating down over the chimney tops
And the one I love so close at hand.
If I had wings and I could fly,
I know where I would go.
But right now I'll just sit here so contentedly
And watch the river flow.
People disagreeing on all just about everything, yeah,
Makes you stop and all wonder why.
Why only yesterday I saw somebody on the street
Who just couldn't help but cry.
Oh, this ol' river keeps on rollin', though,
No matter what gets in the way and which way the wind does blow,
And as long as it does I'll just sit here
And watch the river flow.
People disagreeing everywhere you look,
Makes you wanna stop and read a book.
Why only yesterday I saw somebody on the street
That was really shook.
But this ol' river keeps on rollin', though,
No matter what gets in the way and which way the wind does blow,
And as long as it does I'll just sit here
And watch the river flow.
Watch the river flow,
Watchin' the river flow,
Watchin' the river flow,
But I'll sit down on this bank of sand
[Spoken:]
Hear now the tale of Job, a righteous man, who had a loving wife,
And ten sons and seven daughters. His fields were always ripe
With wheat and corn. He had ten thousand camels and five thousand sheep
And three thousand head of oxen. At sunrise
You would find him on his knees singing, "Yahweh Yehoa".
Well, one day in the court of heaven,
All the heavenly host were gathered there in the presence of the Lord,
And Satan was there among them.
[Sung:]
Satan went to God, and God said, "Satan, Where you been?"
Satan said, "I been on Earth, among men."
God said, "You must have seen my faithful servant, Job.
You must have seen his worth and how he's evil's foe."
Job is evil's foe. Yes, he is.
Satan said, "Well, yes, God, Job is your man.
But if you struck him, God, well, what would he do then?
He'd turn his back on you and curse your name right to your face."
God said, "Allright, Bub, go and test his faith --
Go and try Job's faith."
"O my God, O my God," cried poor Job.
"I have lost everything I owned.
I lost my cattle, I lost my land.
You took my children, too.
I'm losin' my mind and the love of my wife,
But I keep my faith in You.
I still have faith in You.
"O my God, O my God," can't you hear Job?
He's singin', "This world can no more be my home.
My so-called friends speak biting words,
Telling me what to do.
My health is gone, I cannot rest,
But I keep my faith in You.
I still have faith in You."
[Spoken:]
And Job's friends, they called to one another,
"Brothers! Righteous Job has fallen.
Come, let us go and give him what we can."
Long, long they journeyed until they found Job
In the ashes of his burned-out farm.
And they sat down with him for seven days and nights in silence,
For they saw that he had suffered greatly.
But at last they could hold back no longer,
And with accusing fingers pointed at him they said,
"Oh, Job, what evil have you done to bring God's wrath upon you?"
And at this time, down the road comes Elihu,
What took one look and thought he had the whole scene covered!
Waaaaow!
[Sung:]
That young man lectured Job until Job's poor heart near broke,
And from the whirlin' wind, God Himself spoke,
Sayin', "Who're these who claim to know my workings and all my ways?
Job has proved his faith and shall live joyous days."
The North coast was locked in a driving storm
seems like years since I've been warm
looking out the window at the driving snow
I've got the old time ... to go
I was hoping it would not be long
'fore I could hear the highway song
North coast, North coast, I am gone
Well I stayed for a while in a South Texas town
with a Mexican mama, her skin was so brown
her eyes were as deep and as atrue as the sea
and she was trying to get a hold on me
I started hoping it would not be long
before I would sing that highway song

Curled up in the back of the car
Nine years old you don't know where you are
And your head's on the window, your eyes are just closed
There's a voice in the front and a hush on the road
You're a passenger but your mind is travelling on.
Open your eyes and you're nine years older
Hands on the wheel and you're racing on over
To lie with your first love, you can't wait to see her
You borrowed the car and you think you're the driver
But now you're the passenger to your own heart
and it takes you travelling, travelling on.
When the morning broke and the sky fell down
It went black as night and the wind blew round
And stole your directions, you lost your way home
And you felt like a passenger left by the road
But I'll tell you the reason you couldn't get home
Cause there's nowhere you've been and it's nowhere you're going
Home is only a feeling you get in your mind
From the people you love and you travel beside
You may feel like a passenger but now you're the driver
You've got to go travelling, travelling on
Because if you break down, it's a cold, hard shoulder
So fuel up your mind and fire up your heart and drive on
Drive on, drive on
And when your days are darker, put your foot down harder
Drive on, drive on.
And it's nine more years you've been driving now
But tonight you're stumbling through your old town
You met up with a schoolfriend who's still just the same
And you talked all the same shit you talked in those days
And now you're drunk and you're sad for the old times passing you by
For there's no rewind so you might as well play while your time is rolling away
And get back on the road, it's a beautiful day
Pick up all the friends you can find on your way
And if you lose direction they'll be there guiding you on
Guiding you, guiding you on.
Because we're all going the same way down this long road
Yes, we're all bound the same way down this long, long road.
So fuel up your mind and fire up your heart and drive on
Drive on, drive on
And when your days are darker, put your foot down harder
Drive on
Fuel up, and drive on
Fuel up, and drive on
I caught the sun on my way home, my way home
I caught the sun on my way home, my way home
When I got lost in thinking
I missed the train on my way home, my way home
I missed the train on my way home, my way home
'Cos I was still day dreaming
Oh and I need to know, are you the one? Are you the one?
(Lucy could you really be the one that I've been wishing on?)
Yes I need to know
(Lucy I can't stop myself from wondering)
Are you the one I've been waiting for?
I saw you blink and I missed your eyes, your blue eyes
I saw you blink and I missed your eyes, your blue eyes
When we were talking upstairs
What would I see, if I looked in through the window?
What would I see, if I looked deep through the coloured glass,
In through the window?
Oh and I need to know, are you the one? Are you the one?
(Lucy could you really be the one that I've been wishing on?)
Yes I need to know, are you the one?
(Lucy I can't stop myself from wondering)
I need to know
(Lucy could you really be the one that I've been wishing on?)
Are you the one I've been waiting for?
And I climbed up the hill, when I got home, when I got home
And I faced out towards you
What are you thinking over there?
Over there, what are you thinking over there?
Oh and I need to know, are you the one? Are you the one?
(Lucy could you really be the one that I've been wishing on?)
Yes I need to know, are you the one?
(Lucy I can't stop myself from wondering)
I need to know
(Lucy could you really be the one that I've been wishing on?)
Are you the one I've been waiting for?
So so long
Are you the one i've been waiting for?
We are like mourners when they stand and cry
At open grave in wind and rain.
Yes, it is death. But you shall rise again
Your sun return to this benighted sky.
I plunge in flood and flame,
Suffer every shame and blame.
What ear would hear me if I cried?
what could I do to stand the tide?
Darkness pressed the shimmering veil,
To the black it starts to rend.
I am not called upon to be
The dark gift.
Your heart that cannot lie,
Your love is chained, you greedful soul
Love with us won't grief no more
New life will come as your tears will dry.
I plunge in flood and flame,
Suffer every shame and blame.
What ear would hear me if I cried?
what could I do to stand the tide?
Darkness pressed the shimmering veil,
To the black it starts to rend.
I am not called upon to be
The dark gift.
Hush my child and come along
Where the stars are velvet soft.
Hush my child and come along
Where the stars are velvet soft.
Darkness pressed the shimmering veil
To the black it starts to rend
I am not called upon to be...
Darkness pressed the shimmering veil,
To the black it starts to rend.
I am not called upon to be
Lost souls caught in twilight,
Where our darkness never ends.
Cursed to roam through an ever-lasting night,
And so I leave my life in your caress
Life and death,
Two and one,
Hate and love,
Moon and sun.
On an endless quest across,
All my love that is my loss,
And the secrets of the rising sun.
On an endless quest across,
all my love that is my loss,
Haunted lovers have become the ones?
I know you well,
We're spirits that can't dwell,
There's no shelter but the bittersweet.
Life and death,
Two and one,
Hate and love,
Moon and sun
On an endless quest across,
All my love that is my loss,
And the secrets of the rising sun.
ON an endless quest across,
all my love that is my loss,
Haunted lovers have become the ones?
Sometimes I blindly fall,
And then you'll here me call.
Down my frenzy and my fire,
Can you feel all this desire?.
Life and death,
Two and one,
Hate and love,
Moon and sun
On an endless quest across,
All my love that is my loss,
And the secrets of the rising sun.
ON an endless quest across,
all my love that is my loss,
Oh Yeah
Ooh Yeah
Come On
Oh Yeah

I am driven away from my want-to-be?.
A rush in the stream of blood, dark red gold,
As seven shiny seas, bleak and cold.
My legacy...
Silent cries of banished souls
My legacy...
Willing you heaven and hell's despair.
Six miles I dreamt, and a restless sleep
But after seven miles among the shadows deep.
Forever and for now, he will arise.
While I give up and close my eyes.
My legacy...
Silent tries of banished souls
My legacy...
Willing you heaven and hell's despair.
My legacy...
Through now and ever we will rise,
My legacy...
Roaming together through the night.
This sun won't shine on the final day.
Her life was fading with a desperate time of pray?
And it was tempting to drive the thirst away
In dreadful
We are rushing through the night.
My legacy...
Silent cries of banished souls
My legacy...
Willing you heaven and hell's despair.
My legacy...
Through now and ever we will rise,
My legacy...
Roaming together through the night.
My legacy...
My legacy...
My legacy...
My legacy...
The dance is on the bridge of death
And who will dance with me?
There's never a man of living men
Will dare to dance with thee.
Now I am gone within my bower
Put ashes in my hair,
And sackcloth on her bonny breast,
And on her shoulders bare.
They danced across the bridge, above the black water.
The marriage-bell was tolled in hell for the souls of him and her.
They danced across the bridge, above the black water.
The marriage-bell was tolled in hell for the souls of him and her.
There came a knock to my bower door,
And blithe I let him in.
It was my brother from the wars,
The dearest of her kin.
Set gold within your hair,
Set gold within your hair,
And gold upon your girdle band,
And on your breast so fair.
Lover of life... Lover of life...
Lover of life on the bridge of death.
Lover of life... Lover of life...
Lover of life on the bridge of death.
Nay, no gold for my head brother,
Nay, no gold for my hair
It's ashes and it's dust of Earth
That you and I must wear.
We are bidden to dance tonight,
We may not bide away.
Hah! This one good night, this one fair night,
Before the red new day.
They danced across the bridge, above the black water.
The marriage-bell was tolled in hell for the souls of him and her.
They danced across the bridge, above the black water.
The marriage-bell was tolled in hell for the souls of him and her.
No gold work for my girdle band,
No gold work on my feet.
But ashes of the fire, my love,
But dust that the serpents eat.
We are bidden to dance tonight,
We may not bide away.
This one good night, one fair night,
Before the red new day.
Lover of life... Lover of life...
Lover of life on the bridge of death.
Lover of life... Lover of life...
Lover of life on the bridge of death.
Lover of life... Lover of life...
Lover of life on the bridge of death.
Lover of life... Lover of life...
Sweet sovereign, one last glance
Sinking slow in rapture romance.
Nothing left but liquid pain,
Floating tears and velvet rain.
No more sunrise, no more delights
When endless darkness is all around me.
Eternal grief, from this despite,
A smile of hatred - the last I could see.
The final gate was closed tonight,
But tell me why I may live and come by.
Sacred lies...
Sacred lies... Explore the mystries of death.
Sacred lies... This will be my fate the end I dread.
The fade I feel, the ghost I see
Someday I'll cross the edge within me.
The joy of dying crashes pain
And silence within me.
Desires and delights,
Hours days and years
To feel from the regret,
To pray for tears.
I am falling down into decay,
I will never see the light of day again.
No more sunrise, no more delights
When endless darkness is all around me
The final gate was closed tonight.
But tell why i may live and come by.
Sacred lies...
Sacred lies... Explore the mystries of death,
Sacred lies... This will be my fate the end i dread.
The fade I feel the ghost I see,
I'll cross the edge within me.
The joy dying, the price is paid
And the silence of the dying in me.
Sacred lies...
Sacred lies... Explore the mystries of death
Sacred lies... This will be my fate the end i dread
Sacred lies... Explore the mystries of death,
Sacred lies... This will be my fate the end i dread
If you believe and always stay true,
I will be here to watch over you.
Along the track of light,
Rest the gods of heathen ways.
She saves him to the night,
He may confess without her face.
I will scatter, I will scream
To create a brand new dream.
If you believe and always stay true.
I will be here to watch over you.
Into the shining light,
rest the gods of heathen ways.
She shows here fated cry
He may confess without her face.
It's in the stars, upon her wait she
Has got the magic into her hand.
Drawing circles in the air and
Sing her very own last chant
I will scatter, I will scream
To create a brand new dream.
I will scatter, I will scream
To create, to create a brand new dream.
Don't put me down way too soon!
A fire whispers inside me to draw down doom?.
Don't put me down way too soon!
A fire whispers inside me to draw down doom?.
Summer, Winter, Spring or Fall,
If you believe...
We will pass and overcome this all,
Always be true...
To scatter and to scream
I will be here...
To create this dream,
To watch over you.
Don't put me down way too soon.
To create a brand new dream.
Tried to make you see,
But all your hope's in vain.
But you can see that I'm?
Just feel naked pain.
Leave this world behind
Of that place you hope to find.
Leave without a trace,
No tears, no embrace.
Holding tight I'm saving you,
18 hundred? you.
Tried to give you love,
To show you how it feels,
But you lost all your confidence,
A wound just never heals.
Leave this world behind
Of that place you hope to find.
Leave without a trace,
No tears, no embrace.
Holding tight I'm saving you,
18 hundred? you.
I can change your mind, my dear.
I still love you with all your fear.
Tried to make you see,
But all your hope's in vain.
You just feel naked pain,

I still love you with all your fear.
I can change your mind, my dear.
Be aware, earlier yet his soul has come
From the death god's kiss that never wakes.
Fell from heaven of the soulless saints.
As the scarlet moonlight's flaming ray,
He had stolen from the light of thee...
Fall from grace
Of London days.
Fall from grace -
Forthcoming fate.
And she rode on Serpent's Hill,
Where ever a dreadful wind blows deadly chill,
Towards the world that wails beneath.
As the scarlet moonlight's flaming ray,
He had stolen from the light of thee...
Fall from grace
Of London days.
Fall from grace -
Forthcoming fate.
The reverend pleads, I shall file
Beyond this light, into the heaven.
Across the earth and through the eternal fires,
Into the temples, the temples of desires.
The reverend pleads, I shall file
Beyond this light, into the heaven
Fall from grace
Of London days.
Fall from grace,
Fall from grace -
Forthcoming fate.
Fall from grace,
Fall from grace,
Now your eyes grow cold
When I speak these words to you.
It is time to end this.
Now it's time to leave this place.
I can change your mind, my dear,
But still love you with all your fear.
So we are leaving this world
For a better place we hope to find.
We will never see the light of life.
Only naked pain for us is what there is left.
I can change your mind, my dear,
But still love you with all your fear.
I can change your mind, my dear,
Invictus...
Invictus...
Where the sun does never shine,
Of the witch where secret lies,
Oh, Mighty Virgin of the skies...
Beyond this place of rotten tears...
Invictus.
Looms but the horror of the shame...
Invictus.
Invictus...
The fallen bears the sacred name,
Burn inside, in her own flame.
She lifts me softly by the hand.
She whispers me “?”.
Beyond this place of rotten tears...
Invictus.
Looms but the horror of the shame...
Invictus.
And yet the menace of the years...
Invictus.
Finds and shall find me all afraid.
My eyes are closing, I cannot see
The ropes? outstretched in endless sleep.
The land of dreams sets me above,
Above the lights of the morning star.
My eyes are closing, I cannot see

Mood swings like a pendulum.
Asking the ocean to sail you home.
Cause you've seen too much.
Lost, lost in a coma, never left your sofa.
Cause you've got no more breadcrumbs.
When you've seen everything, met everyone, been
everywhere and you still feel alone.
Well I've been nowhere at all, met no one who cares,
been nowhere that gives, but I still got it all.
Cause you, you say, you do, you do.
But you don't, you don't, you don't.
The more the world you see.
More unhappy you seem.
You're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong.
Whilst I write, I write, I write.
The more I live my life.
The more I live this house.
Green blue tropical seas, you say you see me.
But where's your reality?
Get off the bus, from the bus to the station,
stationary waiting for transportation, buses and planes
and people in lanes.
All of these things yeah they end up the same.
Cause you, you say, you do, you do.
But you don't, you don't, you don't.
The more the world you see.
More unhappy, you seem.
You're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong.
Whilst I write, I write, I write.
The more I live my life.
The more I leave this house.
You say you do, you do.
So I'm sailing off for two.
I'm sailing back to blue just to be with you.
And you say you don't, you don't.
So I'm banking that you won't, breaking all the rules
Well God gave you the worldOn the day that you were
born
So how you going to save it, my child
God gave you a soul
So how you going to use it
How you going to use it
A dark place so far off in the distance
You couldn't see me but I could and kept calling back
Far across the forest a soul leaves a falling
You were falling down too, I wanted to hold you
A great heart, a great love
I can't love, you caught it
The greatest closer from a great heart
God gave you the world
On the day that you were born
So how you going to save it, my child
God gave you a soul
So how you going to use it
How you going to use it, now
Everything I am something that i seem
Because of my mother's genes
Everything i want is something that I've had Because my
father's love
I dream of stopping waves, she said
I dream of stopping waves
Tears are falling down my cheeks
Into my soup again
God gave you the world
On the day that you were born
So how you going to save it, my child
God gave you the stars
So how you going to save them
How you going to save them, now
As the crow flies
I see the world from a bird's eye view
History like a trebuchet
Throws me back to you
The higher climb, the further you fall
The higher the climb, the further the fall
I gave you the stars, you wasted them child
You threw them away
Well God gave you the world
On the day that you were born
So how you going to save it, my child
God gave you the stars so
How you going to save them
How you going to save them, now
God gave you the world
So how you going to save it
All of the sound boys look at me wide eyed. All of the
French girls, kiss me au revoir. Sail me out at the quay,
sail me out in my coffin. Why they staring at me? Have
they never been out? The northern lights dream girls,
diamond and pearls girls. Champagne and saffron, saffron
and silk. Sail me out at the quay, sail me out in my
Don't change your name,Keep it the same,
For fear I may lose you again.
I know you won't,
It's just that I,
Am unorganized,
And I want to find you.
When something good happens
If you come down,
We'll go to town,
I haven't been there for years.
But I'd be fine,
Wasting our time,
Not doing anything here.
Just doing nothing.
We'll sit for days,
And talk about things,
Important to us like whatever.
We'll defuse bombs,
And walk marathons,
So it won't take much to change me.
When you stare in my eyes what do you see?
When I count to three, you will be fast asleep.
Fading off to distant lands where all your secrets and
your plans are realised before your eyes and all the
things you hid inside, that's what you'll get when you
sleep tonight
1-2-3. You'll be anything you want to be.
1-2-3. All you got to do is believe.
1-2-3. You'll be anything you want to be, yeah.
So it won't take much to save us.
When you fall asleep, I'll take care of us.
Just let TV's flashing light hypnotise you to sleep.
Everyday in everyway we levitate, we make mistakes; we
live our lives to the beat finding ways get some peace,
every night every time we sleep
1-2-3. You'll be anything you want to be.
1-2-3. All you got to do is believe.
You had enough, you needed proof.
So you read another book, it changed the way you looked
at things you thought you knew it all.
You moved on, you changed your name, but you always
stayed the same, doubtful of a photograph 'cause images
can change.
To be there is to feel this, is to trust in a power
cause we all need some oxygen we could use each others
mouths.
You breathe in, I breathe in, aaah.
You met new friends, you moved on but you never stayed
in one place.
A fable like a gospel song was calling out your name,
yeah.
You looked inside a looking glass and never quite
understood why preachers preach religion and you just
stood aloof.
To be there is to feel this, is to trust in a power.
Cause we all need some oxygen, we could use each others
mouths.
You breathe in, I breathe in, aaah.
All encounters, epiphanies, all manner of strange
dreams.
You're both the servant and the master of your destiny.
While you looked up, the world looked down just to
admire your face.
But when you're lost, you find someone and that's your
saving grace.
To be there is to feel this, is to trust in a power.
Move forwards not backwards leaving those before us
this moment between then and now.
'Cause we all need some oxygen we could use each others
mouths.
You breathe in, I breathe in, aaah.
Oh, you could be lifted up, lifted up, oh, you could be
I've been smiling for so long my face is starting to hurt
me mark me.
I've been pushing boulders up this hill it seems for so
long.
So long, I don't know which way to turn.
Give me ten minutes to pack and get dressed.
Ok, five minutes to stop feeling so depressed
Why is it all disposable?
Well, in the end no-one's got time.
So I'll write it in a song, disposably moving on.
I've been saving seconds for so long,
I've started ticking, sticking, I don't know which way to
turn
And I've been lying six foot under since I wished
I had six foot, six foot, six foot more.
Take down these limits there's not so many left.
And Ok, these minutes they won't let you forget but
they're not disposable.
And in the end no-ones got time.
Love is on the inside but you've been out of my mind
and I've often stopped to laugh.
I tried to find a reason why I've been out of season
but sometimes you just die inside. When I've got it all
I loose control.
When I start to think I take too long.
Chasing after things I wish we'd done.
When we're on the brink, I start to think.
You're that feeling, you're that feeling and now you're
gone
You came over softly told me that you loved me and I
want to run for miles.
I'm not out to hurt you but sometimes I repent is it my
heart or in my head?
When I've got it all I loose control.
When I start to think I take too long.
Chasing after things I wish we'd done.
When we're on the brink, I start to think.
You're that feeling, you're that feeling and now you're
gone
All these in betweens, I don't know what they mean, all
the things I read and all the things I've seen.
All these in betweens, I don't know what they mean.
I'm still a child inside
When I've got it all I loose control.
When I start to think I take too long.
Chasing after things I wish we'd done.
When we're on the brink I start to think.
You're that feeling you're that feeling and now you're
Brother and Sisters, let me see your eyes again.
Sores and blisters are all you show from life, my
friends.
No matter where you walk, I'll always be you life
support.
I'm coming up, I'm coming up, I'm coming up for air
again.
Whilst you were sleep walking, I slipped another pill
in your pillow
You were too busy talking whilst we got on with living.
The darkness in your eyes it's not from lack of love
but lack of living your sugar coated lies you take you
just feed that feeling.
No matter where you walk, I'll always be your life
support
I'm coming up, I'm coming up, I'm coming up for air
again.
Shooting up on dreams, you missed out the might have
beens
I spread my wings to fly from your living room.
Open up the chords so you can find your force and you
won't have to feel this.
Touch me in your heart so you can find your part and
you won't have to dream this.
Open up the chords so you can find your force and you
won't have to feel this.
Touch me in your heart so you can find your part and
you won't have to dream this.
No matter where you walk I'll always be you life's
support.
I'm coming up, I'm coming up, I'm coming up for air
again.
No matter where you walk, I'll always be your life
Clementine my delight got a one-way ticket and you won't
come back. Colour blind by the blue grey sky, save me a
ticket and I'll come for the ride. What fruits we had but
they all turned bad. Except for the roots I kept in my
head except for the roots. Clementine by the moonlight,
save my memory of this moonlit night. Heady wine spilled
my mind, erased my memory and you left my life. What
fruits we had, but they all turned bad. Except for the
I'm sat in the sunshine, the sunshine of my life seeing
not dreaming that you will come back to life.
I'm sat in the sunshine, sunshine of my life seeing not
dreaming that you will come back to life.
'Cause you have been dead, you have been dead.
You have been deadly silently subtly corrupting my life.
I'm young and I love life but you made me old and wise
and I hate wanting you, you to come back to my life.
'Cause, oh, when it feels like the world is against me it
makes me feel angry angry and in love is just how I feel.
'Cause you have been dead, you have been dead, you have
been deadly silently subtly corrupting my life.
I'm screaming and shouting in the sunshine of my life
seeing not dreaming that you will come back to life.
I'm screaming and shouting in the sunshine of my life
seeing not dreaming that you will come back to life.
I'm sat in the sunshine, the sunshine of my life seeing
not dreaming that you will come back to life.
I'm sat in the sunshine, sunshine of my life seeing not
Something I've lost is something you found.
I spend more time scanning the ground.
These empty streets are just memories that all that
comes up always comes down.
It always comes down.
Oh, how this town is getting me down.
Oh, how these streets are frustrating me.
I need to go where I can see faces I know smiling.
And all because I'm out of love with this town.
On the night bus I feel the last rush of adrenaline
wash over me.
Simply a wish that from all this we can all find
something inspired.
Oh, how this town is getting me down.
Oh, how these streets are frustrating me.
I need to go where I can see faces I know smiling.
And all because I'm out of love with this town.
Town escaping and people filing through.
New horizons the world from this view.
Truth of it all and the grass under feet.
This is the best part, it's the start, it's the eve.
But it all, goes so slow.
Oh, how this town is getting me down.
Oh, how these streets are frustrating me.
I need to go where I can see faces I know smiling at
Oh, how this town is getting me down.
Oh, how these streets are frustrating me.
I need to go where I can see faces I know smiling at
And I need to be where I can see, where I can feel and
I am a seabird you are the arctic ocean
I know your seasons and your sanctuaries
And when I'm wheeling over your wild white horses I know
There's nowhere else that I belong
I am a small town you are a tornado
And down the high street you tear into me
Bring down the power lines and you twist the heart right out of me
Leaving my outskirts devastated
And as you're going tears are flowing
'Cos while you're leaving I'm still believing
You are a memory I am the mind you enter
A single moment in a single bed
This is the feeling you are bringing back to me of when
I was on the coldharbour road
And now you're going tears are flowing
'Cos while you're leaving I'm still believing
All in the morning and my ears are ringing
Conquers shining on the ground,
The air is cooler
And i feel like i just started uni
Walking backwards to my van
Your at your window,
And im tripping every time i think of
Lying in your attic
I can feel the static
The storm has broken, Heavens open
Send my body out to work
But leave my senses
In orbit over south east London
Wind the window down and pinch
Me on the shoulder
Whilst il be off to dream of
Lying in your attic
I can feel the static
The storm has broken, Heavens open
So electrifying, Oh im nearly flying
Lost my heart between the sheets of lightening
I've been singing you this song,
Inside a bubble,
Been Zorbing through the streets of Cali,
We were always meant to be,
Zorbing together, And i think its high time we started
Lying in your attic
I can feel the static
The storm is breaking, windows shaking
So electrifying, Oh im nearly flying
Lost my heart between the sheets of lightening
Lying in your attic
I can feel the static
The storm has broken, Heavens open
So electrifying, Oh im nearly flying
