This little girl, all work no play
October grey makes the hangman's day
Hotel, TV, silent movie
Her precious eyes gazed back at me
From the beach to the sea
While the count and the countess, they cry
For the ruins the world left behind
What a beautiful night for her precious eyes
The pubs are closed, the streets are cold
Billy Casper buries the bones
Of a boy that cried, learned to despise
I'll make them mine, her precious eyes
From the sand to the sky
While the gargoyles and dragons they sigh
For the sake of Saint serpentine
What a beautiful night for her precious eyes
Her precious eyes...
Wild fire, I desire to be loved
Climb higher, to a platform just above
Little liar, you deceive me
With your wit elocution, sculptured perfectly to fit
Tug of war, with the blessing and the mud
Please let me quiz you, rest assured but unplugged
Town cryer, has our voices kindly bugged
Wild fire, I desire to be loved
Daddy calling see how they run
Mummy calling see how they run
?????? see how they run
?????? stories see how they
See how they
Run run run
Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! Oooh!
Wild fire, sifting signal out the times
It has been turned up, in deception all round
Soap and water, wash your mouth out
All the same, she's my daughter
But I'll never play the game
Son: "What's that, Daddy?"
Dad: "That's government property, Son!"
Son: "Buy why?"
Dad: "Why does the sun come up?"
Venom cable, wicked tongue
Zoo keeper, iron lung
Venom cable, poisoned pout
Tarantula, burning blouse
Ooh oooh...
Venom cable, emergency
Magnetic simplicity
Venom cable, maggot brain
Wrap the world in cellophane
Ooh oooh...
Venom cable, venom cable
Venom cable, venom cable
A secret kiss,
Reminded me of what I miss,
Some kind of forgotten bliss,
On this summers eve,
Though the seasons deceive.
??? of my honesty,
You still make me believe,
Is this the rock,
That your daring me to cross,
Down the river to the docks,
That's where we'll meet,
Where the bayline(?) creeps(?)
Into her majesty
You still make me believe
So far away (so far away)
So far away (so far away)
Can't get away (so far away)
So far away
But that's alright
But that's alright
Jewels and pearls,
And all the wonders of the world,
Mean nothing until I return,
In time for tea,
Sit on my settee,
Lost in my memories,
You still make me believe,
You make me believe,
You make me believe,
You make me believe
We'll set sail again
We're heading for the Spanish main
In the beggar's house of wasted thoughts I saw you
You took my hand, led me to another land
Down past the old picture house we wandered
With no time to be proud, I have to decide now
If I should follow the sorrow or the song
Where do I belong?
The sorrow or the song?
The sorrow or the song?
How the thought of you clings to me like
How the thought of you clings to me like
A haunting school yard memory waiting
I'll have to wait turn, sit and watch them burn
The prison wall, the music hall, the tower clock
Is watching over town, I'll have to decide now
If I should follow the sorrow or the song
Where do I belong?
The sorrow or the song?
The sorrow or the song?
Out in the field when the first has been born
Folks sing a song, song of the corn
Late in the day when the secrets are sworn
Folks tell a tale, tale of the corn
I heard a commotion one late afternoon
Someone was singing a funeral tune
As I lay watching them hoist up the cross
Something was burning, something was lost
Could you believe what the scarecrow had seen
Folks come to fall down to their knees
Rumours of strangers been buried alive
Black bats and barnyards send chills at my spine
Morning comes darkness drops
Upon this day a shadow falls
Silence walks through the halls
Since I've been gone, gone, gone
A hundred years from today
Lamplights ablaze? paves my way
Till Jesus saves my early grave
I will be gone, gone, gone
Drop the anchor lift my heart
From stem to stern I'm torn apart
Mount my horse? pack my cart?
Tomorrow I'm gone, gone, gone
Seek the hull? leave the deck
Silver moon silhouette
In due time you will forget
That I am gone, gone, gone
I will be gone, gone, gone
Since I've been gone, gone, gone
Tomorrow I'm gone, gone, gone
Saw myself through another's eyes
What did I see to my surprise
Nuts and bolts and rows of shops
Black crow nights and chimney tops
And one too many sad songs
Bible black and captain cat
Keeps the world inside his hat
With deep dry wells
And cockled shells
He holds his wife beneath his paws
10, 9, 8
7, 6, 5, 4
and 3, 2 many 1-t her
Migraine - Doctor, doctor, won't you help me please?
Migraine - Doctor, doctor, I'm down on my knees
Migraine - I feel it run from my toes to my brain
Migraine - Tried every potion, but it can't be tamed
Migraine
Migraine - Doctor, doctor, tearing my hair out?
Migraine - Doctor, doctor, what's it all about?
Migraine - I feel so nervous and I'm feeling sick
Migraine - My body's aching and I'm shittin' bricks
Migraine
Migraine - Doctor, doctor, won't you find a cure?
Migraine - Doctor, doctor, should I stay indoors?
Migraine - I go to parties and I just freeze
Migraine - Think I'm infected with a social disease
Migraine - Think I'm infected with a social disease
Migraine - Think I'm infected with a social disease
Migraine - Think I'm infected with a social disease
Migraine - Think I'm infected with a social disease
Migraine, migraine, migraine, migraine, migraine...
Oh come with me
To a lover's paradise
Where all the stars shine bright
Oh, won't you come with me?
Oh come with me
Your carriage, it waits my dear
A million miles and we'll be near
Oh, won't you come with me?
Oh come with me
To where the button bows, the fancy ties
Something's special in your eyes
Oh, won't you come with me?
In the winter or the summer time, or fall
We'll have a bore...
Just call and fly to a lover's paradise
Call and fly to a lover's paradise
Over the hill and far away
Down the valley and past the lake
Through the trees, beneath the shade
In this place, that's where i'll wait
For you
To keep me company
Like an old memory
An hour or two has just flown by
Took the sun out of the sky
A stained slass shadow, it will have been cast
A ghostly gaze forgets my past
But you
Could keep me company
Like an old memory
Oh no, here it comes again
Oh no, here it comes again
Can't stop the pain
I've come so far, I can't get home
Is no one there, am I alone?
Here and now I must confess
This is potential loneliness
I just stepped outside of a dream,
Nothing ever is as it seems,
The wind keeps whistling the same old tune,
You lay asleep in the light of the moon,
So silently I peered through the trees,
My misery was in her beauty,
Her hair hung long and her eyes were (?) closed,
Every moment she stole my soul,
I'm in the forest so rare and devine
This is the place where you lose your mind,
From all of the feelings that are making you blue,
You'll never know how much I - You.
And she awoke and walked downstream,
Stuck outside of that same old dream,
I need to leave but my minds intrigued,
Follow close as she does to me,
Out of the forest to the church's gate,
By her grave she awaits her fate,
My only crime was to want too much,
I could look but I could not touch.
I'm in the forest so rare and devine,
This is the place where you lose your mind,
From all of the feelings that are making you blue,
You'll never know how much I - You
I can see through you
I can see through you
I can see through you
I can see through, I can see through
I forgot my name, I forgot my name
On memory lane I forgot my name
I forgot my name, I forgot my name
This is not a game
When I forgot my name
I can see through you
I can see through you
I can see through you
I can see through, I can see through
I forgot my name, I forgot my name
Isn't that a shame, but I forgot my name
I forgot my name, I forgot my name
On memory lane I forgot my name
I can see through you
I can see through you
I can see through you
I can see through, I can see through
Please don't let the light through my window
Keep the curtain shut
It brings me good luck
Please don't let the light through my window
Don't wanna see the day
I don't need it anyway
Please don't let the light through my window
Don't wanna see the shop
Or the wet bus stop
Please don't let the light through my window
The bells ring out for doom
At this Sunday afternoon
Please don't let the light through my window
Please don't let the light through my window
I, I look into her eyes
Saw through her disguise
But never realised
That we were longing to be free
Runaway to sea
Well that could never be
Goodbye don't say goodbye
I'd rather die
Than say goodbye
Once so very long ago
Was when I loved you so
If only I had known
That I was blinded by my fate
I traded love for hate
Now I just sit and wait
Goodbye don't say goodbye
I'd rather die
Than say goodbye
10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1
Goodbye don't say goodbye
I'd rather die
Than say goodbye
Goodbye don't say goodbye
I'd rather die
Than say goodbye
Rain rain go away,
Leave me here alone again,
Where weary eyes and hollis tales,
Play heavy on my mind
Rain rain don't dismay,
Come back on a better day,
Where weary eyes and hollis tales,
I've left them all behind.
Some say I'm a fool,
See me on a beggars stool,
But all my truths are lied and all
My secrets have been told,
Rain rain go away,
Come back on a better day,
When all my lies are gone,
And burdens have been sold
It's up in my heart when it skips a beat (skips a beat)
Can't feel no pavement right under my feet (under my feet)
Up in my lonely room
When I'm dreaming of you (wah oooo)
Oh what can I do
I still need you, but
I don't want you now
When I'm down and my hands are tied (hands are tied)
I cannot reach a pen for me to draw the line (draw the line)
From this pain I just can't disguise
Its gonna hurt but I'll have to say goodbye
Up in my lonely room
When I'm dreaming of you (wah oooo)
Oh what can I do
I still need you, but
I dont want you now
Oh yeah
Ohhh Ohhhhh
Up in my lonely room
When I'm dreaming of you (wah oooo)
Oh what can I do
I still need you, but
I dont want you now
Don't think you're the first
In the whole universe
To follow your heart
Or gaze at the stars
To stare at the night
To the clear daylight
Don't think you're the first
In the whole universe
To feel sorrow or shame
As you walk in the rain
Do I love you?
Yes I love you or I wouldn't tell you
So don't think you're the first
In the whole universe
To be caught in the act
Numbered and wrecked
Put in your place
Made to feel like a fake
Don't think you're the first
In the whole universe
To be untouched by the time
Think you're one of the kind
Do I love you?
Yes I love you or i wouldn't tell you
So don't think you're the first
Don't think you're the first
In the whole universe
To dance with the light
From the meak to the might
As the birds in the trees
Sing their sweet melodies
Don't think you're the first
In the whole universe
To hear a thousand violins
As the trial begins
Do I love you?
Yes I love you or I wouldn't tell you
So don't think you're the last
To be tied to the mast
While you watch from afar
As your world falls apart
You hang on for help
But the rest help themselves
Don't think you're the last
To be tied to the past
While you future's controled
While the present untold
Do I love you?
Yes I love you or I wouldn't tell you
So don't think you're the first
On this here street where I do sit
Lives a man we can't forgive
His felony was jealousy
An impossible personality
And if you think it's you then let me know
He wasn't rich, he wasn't poor
Though how he longed for so much more
At night he dreamed of buccaneers
Pirate ships and privateers
And if you think it's you then let me know
His window was his favourite seat
For watching history repeat
Was he cursed or was he blessed
In the end well he confessed
And if you think it's you then let me know
This is what he said...
The warning signs
Are on my wall
There's no feelin' anymore
Has it always been like this?
Signed and sealed without a kiss
Well I know it's there
It's just something that I missed
And through the tears of madness
Souvenirs of sadness
Is all he sees, all he sees
So how do I begin to end this tale?
Of a time when all was well
And he'd laze on summer days
Down by the lake
Where the seagulls play
What a way
To waste his days
Who is to blame?
Have I been framed
Who is to blame
Have I been framed
For the death of these days?
Pretty pendent, descendents of joy
return the father to the boy
Resent your past, repent at last
we are only lines on a map
Calenders and clocks and hickory docks
Find a feeling that feels okay
Find another to blow it away
Who are you and who am I
Please don't ask me, I'll break down and cry
Calenders and clocks and hickory docks
Nothing more than the sea shells on the sea shore
Nothing more than the churchbell that rings no more
Nothing more than the scenes behind the closed door
Nothing more than the rich the penniless poor
Nothing more, no nothing more
Calendars clocks and hickory docks (tick tock)
Calendars clocks and hickory docks (tick tock)
Yeah (repeat 5x)
Calendars clocks and hickory docks
And tick tocks!

Time travel will be the death of man
Only the devil fools with the best laid plans
The best laid plans best left unplanned
Time travel will be the death of man
Whats done is done
So you must see
You can't bring back
Whats already been
Technology's tempting the public eye
Do you wanna know why when who and why
We're cloaked in indicision
Consealed by lies
I wanna know why we're really alive
Well you might say we got no proof
There's one thing I know
Is that I'm younger than you
And I can see through your eyes
And I can see through your lies
hypocrisy is your only disguise
Better tell us why we're really alive
Time travel will be the death of man
Only the devil fools with the best laid plans
The best laid plans best left unplanned
Time travel will be the death of man
In my darkest day
I doubt it's true
A change in the weather
Could be made by you
And all the information
You're holding back
Is it written in the water
That ????? not my type
When few had the proof
That jesus christ
Was no more of a man than you or I
Whould you tell the people
Would you try to deceive
For fear on undermining
Their religious belief
Well there's a war going on
???obvious one???
??????? magic medecin
Time travel will be the death of man
Only the devil fools with the best laid plans
The best laid plans best left unplanned
Time travel will be the death of man

Never give up the fight!
Talkin€™ gypsy market blues
I was too late but I never got to choose
Talkin€™ gypsy market blues
I was too late but I never got to choose
Got to have them gypsy boots
Followed them by familiar root
Rambled round from town to town
Sleeping in a doorway as still as a mouse
Saw the bullfighters last stand
I've been drinking dust
I've been kicking cans
All my family, they went home
Let me in Portugal, all alone
Thought I saw that caravan
But it was just a car park man
Said to me as I stood in line,
There's nothing in the world as sad as time
Well if nothing comes to nothing
Then what's the point?
I sat right down and I built my joint
Flat caps they just pass me by
The dust pneumonia left me dry
Talkin€™ gypsy market blues
I was too late but I never got to choose
Talkin€™ gypsy market blues
I was too late but I never got to choose
3 days later when I awoke
My dust filled lungs could hardly cope
Realised I was not alone
I was in the old car park man's home
Looked out the window at the local scenes
One the ledge were some grilled sardines
Then through the door in came the maid
Said Maria was her name
Long dark hair and copper skin
Washed away my seven sins.
Said senor what's this bad news
Told her of my gypsy blues
Maria laughed and said your cute
You don't need no gypsy boots
Picked myself up off the floor
I don't need them boots no more
I don't need them boots no more
I don't need them boots no more
Said I don't need them boots no more (don't need them boots baby)
Every day I recognise
What's deceased and what's alive
But don't repeat what I just said
Until boulders turn to lead
Then all the tales will be told
Whilst you and I are in the cold
But don't think this is the end
Cos it's just begun my friend
And when it's done
And all this is gone
Just find a/the(?) feeling pass it on
For every tear cried in shame
There'll be someone else to blame
And every crime that I commit
There'll be a punishement to fit
But I'd accept what's coming round
If I could only lose this sound
That's been ringing in my ears
And tormenting me for years
When it's done
And all this is gone
Just find a/the(?) feeling pass it on
And when it's done
And all this is gone
Just find a feeling pass it on
Just find the feeling pass it on
Just find a feeling pass it on
Just find the feeling pass it on
I had a girl her name was Liezah
She had only one desire
To walk the cobbled streets alone
Heading anywhere but home
With Crowley as her close companion
His Diaries went hand in hand with
All the men that she has known
She leaves their silver but keeps their gold
So lawyers, doctors please beware
Of that girl with wavy hair
For she will cut you down to size
Reveal the truth behind your disguise
Liezah
Just passed by yer
Now you're standing
Empty handed
Liezah
Can't despise her
She'll change your look
She'll have you hooked
The city sleeps as she's arriving
Tongue tied and twisted was her timing
Her eyes glazed in deep despair
Those crocodile tears they don't care
Don't turn your back cos she'll be gone
Chasing shadows in the sun
All along the dusty road
Where she goes well we'll never know
And everytime I think of Liezah
I break down and I start crying
Although she tore me apart
There's still a place for that girl in my heart
Liezah
Just passed by yer
Now you're standing
Empty handed
Liezah
Can't despise her
She'll change your look
She'll have you hooked
Don't put your heart in careless hands,
Those careless hands they don't understand.
Sugar and spice and all things nice,
You won't think twice about sacrifice,
You'll put your heart in careless hands,
Those careless hands they don't understand.
They'll lift you up and they'll put you down,
Having you running round this one horse town.
Those careless - hands,
Those careless - hands,
Won't understand,
Those careless - hands.
Don't warm your hands in this cold heart,
Cos this cold heart won't play that part,
The choice is yours to hesitate,
Threw his line and you took the bait,
And warmed your hands in his cold heart,
But his cold heart won't play that part.
Open your eyes and look around,
Any chance they get to put down,
With careless hands,
Those careless hands,
Won't understand,
Those careless hands
There's a bad man that I once knew
His heart was black and his blood was blue
Bad man, he's comin' for you
He'd sell his wife for a dollar or two
To be a rich man with many maids
He's got eyes like hand grenades
He had a good woman
In the palm of his hand
Until she left him for another man
Now he's a bad, bad man
A bad, bad man
You gotta' do what you can
When you're a bad man
(Everyone gotta' be a bad man every once in a while, the lord knows he's a bad man )
He's a bad man and that's the truth
The devil's law don't need no proof
He's a jealous man .All alone
A motel room is not a home
Helpless man, he fell ill
He was prescribed a fatal pill
Now he's a dead man
His heart's still black
His only love stabbed him in the back
Now he's a bad, bad man
A bad, bad man
You gotta' do what you can
When you're a bad man
Now he's a bad, bad man
A bad, bad man
You gotta' do what you can
Cos you're a bad bad man
You're a bad bad man
You're a bad bad man
You got to do what you can
When you're a bad man
The oldest path beneath the grave
Lies a myth that's still the same
There ain't no way to make a change
Till Kings and Queens have walked in chains
And the wind it blows them down
And the sea it takes them in
In their sleep you'll find the answer
To everywhere they have been
Sailors tossed by stormy seas
All in the name of slavery
Arm in arm, toe to toe
Sometimes your best friend is your foe
And the wind it blows them down
And the sea it takes them in
In their sleep you'll find the answer
To everywhere they have been
Side by side their pasts in disguise
Together alone as he greeted the tide
And on the water knees lay the thoughts of
A hundred sunken shackle bound souls
And the wind it blows them down
And the sea it takes them in
In their sleep you'll find the answer
To everywhere they have been
Here's a tale of my true love
Fair and free was she
Wasn't I just like tonight
she stole my liberty
Ooooh
Like a flower in the spring
Words don't mean a thing
Like the ocean greets the sand
Beyond my own command
Ooooh
But then she warned me
She'd have to go
(And I'd ?) be left to show
Accept the feeling and then I'll know
I'll always love her so
Why do I listen to sad songs
To make me feel good when I know I've done wrong
What have I done wrong is it in this song
I guess I'll know before to long
But I can't understand
Why she's holding my hand
No I can't understand at all
I'm waiting for the heartaches to come
I'm waiting for the heartaches to come
There's nowhere that I can possibly run
I'm waiting for the heartaches to come
Got to keep on holding on
Another day and I'll try to hide
The endless pain and the tears I've cried
Feels like I'm fixing to die
She took my soul and she blew my mind
But I can't understand
Why she's holding my hand
No I can't understand at all
I'm waiting for the heartaches to come
I'm waiting for the heartaches to come
There's nowhere that I can possibly run
I'm waiting for the heartaches to come
Got to keep on holding on for you
But I can't understand
Why she's holding my hand
No I can't understand at all
I'm waiting for the heartaches to come
I'm waiting for the heartaches to come
There's nowhere that I can possibly run
I'm waiting for the heartaches to come
I'm waiting for the heartaches to come
I'm waiting for the heartaches to come
There's nowhere that I can possibly run
I'm waiting for the heartaches to come

Never give up the fight!
Simon Diamond sold his soul
Changed his name by deed poll
Started out as Simon Russell
Lived his life inside a nutshell
Oooh ooooh Oooooooh Ooooooh
He couldn't take the public scorn
Changed from human to plant form
Now he swapped his legs for roots
His arms and soil are in cahoots
Oooh ooooh Oooooooh Ooooooh
What will become of Simon Diamond
Water himself
Can't change the climat
What will become of Simon Diamond
Water himself
Can't change the climat
Oooh ooooh Oooooooh Ooooooh
That'll do (That'll do) (16x)
Oooh Oooh
Sail lightly on winds
Disappear on the breeze
Lie firmly on pins
Pull them out with ease
Solid boned skeleton key
Opens the most intricate locks
Brother roll another for me
I am shipwrecked on the rocks
Fumble blindly as we speak
You will wither if you are weak
Finger turns and points at me
I'd hoped they wouldn't notice me
Solid boned skeleton key
Opens the most intricate locks
Brother roll another for me
I am shipwrecked on the rocks
Will I ever return?
Will I ever get back?
Are the rocks too high?
Has the dust turned black?
Will I ever return?
Will I ever get back?
Are the rocks too high?
Has the dust turned black?
Skeleton Key (x4)
Will I ever return?
Will I ever get back?
Are the rocks too high?
Has the dust turned black?
Solid boned skeleton key
Opens the most intricate locks
Brother roll another for me
I am shipwrecked on the rocks
Oh yeah
Hey
That's more like
Here we go here we go
Here we go go Byker Grove
Can't believe it's so good
Can't believe it's so good
I remember when I saw the sea freeze
But it said nothing about the birds and the bees
They were swarming around my head
You'd be better off dead
But I ain't going down like that
I ain't going down like that
Cos I'm better than him and I know where I've been
You know where god I'm bound
And I'm higher to sin but don't we all sin
If that is the truth then the truth is grim
Now it ain't easy in jail, the stories for sale
Your father has died while he's gripped for bail
He points to the west and he leaves out the rest
And wants you to be his special guest
ooooooooooooooooh
I remember when I saw the leaves fall
I was in the woods, and the ??????
Into the ditch I fly
Wanted dead or alive
But I ain't going down like that
No I ain't going down like that
Cos I'm better than him and I know where I've been
You know where god I'm bound
And I'm higher to sin but don't we all sin
If that is the truth then the truth is grim
Now it ain't easy in jail, the stories for sale
Your father has died while he's gripped for bail
He points to the west and he leaves out the rest
And wants you to be his special guest
oooooooooooohh
Hi Hi Hi
Cos I'm better than him and I know where I've been

Sheriff John Brown just wandered into town
Looking for a cripple and a thief
A black man and a woman and a lonesome guy like me
Just trying to raise the stakes so we can be free
The dustballs were blowing the sun it cracked the ground
Where could a crime like this ever be found
Good people of the town said to sheriff John Brown
Go and shoot those invalids right down
I said Sheriff no don't you be cruel it could happen to you now
What exactly have they done said sheriff John Brown
For me to shoot those poor old bastards down
Then outstepped the preacher with his hand upon his heart
Can't you see that I've been chosen by god
And I tell you this for nothing
That crowd ain't no good
They're standing out just like a sore thumb
But yes I do agree said the lawyer on the left
I'd kill them now if it were up to me
But I said sheriff don't be cruel it could happen to you now
Out into the wilderness the sheriff he did ride
Heading for the river bridge the laws you must abide
Two hours became three, I knew he would come for me
The day grew long and I began to tire
John Brown's face appeared from behind the fire
Boys and girls whatcho doing gonna be so free
The people of the town talk dissapprovingly
Don't want to take you in, thats not up to me
I said sheriff don't be cruel it could happen to you now
But guilt and doubt they cloud his mind
He thought what exactly is the law
He didn't even know what it stood for
And who pays the cost for all that is lost
Seems to me an impossibility
And who says whats right and who says whats wrong
Who benefits it sure ain't me
And outstepped the woman saying we mean you no harm
Come closer and I will read your palm
But I said sheriff no don't you be cruel it could happen to you now
That night he left a long road came back without a rest
Knowingly he questionned ??? lawyer on the left
Bet you've gone and set them sinners free
Well yes replied the sheriff they done nothing wrong
My god why can't you people see
And the preacher shot him down and his head it hit the ground
The last you'll ever see of poor John Brown
And the moral of this tale it is simple it is plain
People always need someone to blame
But I said sheriff no don't you be cruel it could happen to you now
But I said sheriff no don't you be cruel it could happen to you now
Your good fortune's gonna come to you
Obscure and lonely's only half the truth
Downright upright here comes the night
Here we go again so hold on tight
See the stars will pass the moon
Head back home for the afternoon
Men will sit upon the grass
Watch present turn to past
And hope this day will last
Your misfortune's gonna stop and say
Church and peers and musical chairs
Hop skip tooth pick money to burn
Timbuctoo that's where we will turn
See this sand??? turn to dunes
Head back home for the afternoon
Men sit beneath the waves
And watch the coral caves
And hope this day is saved
Your good fortune's gonna come
Keep that fortune on the run
Your good fortune's gonna come
Keep that fortune on the run
Your good fortune's gonna come
Keep that fortune on the run
Deal not the truth till you find the proof
And feel not the weight (wait?) can you step today
We go out we come in
And God knows where we've been
We go out we come in
And God knows where we've been
He knows where we've been
Deal from the path and place it on the stack
Pick out the card that's been there from the start
We go out we come in
And God knows where we've been
We go out we come in
And God knows where we've been
He knows where we've been
We go out we come in
And God knows where we've been
We go out we come in
And God knows where we've been
He knows where we've been
This is an educational talk about flies
Ichneumon flies deadly killers
Collectively catching caterpillars
Hatching their eggs in the wounds of the wounded
Beg, beat or steal from whomever he chooses
Wooooh Ooooooh
Worker wasp familiar in fact
Three sided needle illiterate cats
Sharp-toothed mandibles that work in the grooves
Insects protect and don't often like to loose
Oooooh
Well I went to a movie with a girl last night
Dressed like a cow but she looked so fine
Bought my ticket just in time
Sat right up close like she was mine
But then it seemed so sad
I never felt that bad
But then I caught her eye
An innocence that tells no lie
I came into the light and out of the dark
It turns out that I was really a calf
Oh I've been a fool for oh so long
But how can all of theses people be wrong
But then it seemed so sad
I never felt that bad
But then I caught her eye
An innocence that tells no lie
But then it seemed so sad
I never felt that bad
But then I caught her eye
An innocence that tells no lie
Yeah
Darkness has entered my room
Suddenly I change my mood
Start to believe that I'm right
All of my words are in spite
Gone just as quick as they came
Feels like I've been shortchanged
Silence now empties the air
Stand naked my soul laid bare
I've been down time and time again
But there's something I found
To shelter from the rain
So beautiful, so beautiful to me
I've searched for miles around
Nowhere is love to be found
Darkness has returned so soon
Death by pale afternoon
But I've been down time and time again
And there's something I found
That shelters from the rain
So beautiful so, beautiful so, beautiful so, beautiful to me
The day that you came, you'd gone so fast
That alas I had someone to blame for the sad sunken tone
The sparrows lonely morn? that cried silently
Through every sleepless day that (?) carries me away
To a faraway place where I can dream
To a rivers flow and mournfull sparrow sound of woe
