Every time that I look in the mirror
All these lines in my face gettin' clearer
The past is gone
It went by like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay
Yeah, I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You got to lose to know how to win
Half my life's in books' written pages
Live and learn from fools and from sages
You know it's true
All the things
Come back to you
Sing with me
Sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing it with me
If it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away
Sing with me
Sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing it with me
If it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away
Dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream yourself a dream come true
Dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream until your dream comes through
Dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream on, dream on, dream on, ahh
Sing with me
Sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing it with me
If it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away
Sing with me
Sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing it with me
If it's just for today
Wayfaring warrior soul
Still wild the archer stands
Arrow measured to the goal
Sing of strong and living man
In his mind, there is a vision
Wandering through the forest town
Telling of riches only given
If through the woods the way is found
Crying, beautiful dancers
Wake up from your sleep!
Ahh, gentle romancers
Drink of love so sweet!
Treasure glowing in their eyes
Forest deepens dark their dream
Keep to the pathway he advise
For the woods are more than they might seem
Are heed you now the apparition?
Bending never ending sounds
Call you away into her mystery
Are your eyes not sparkling now?
Sighing, take you no warning
Make no foolish fight!
Ahh, think not of morning
Lie here through the night!
Ahh...
Beauty, take us! They call
In my arms, they hear her say
As the silken web falls
In a mist of illusion rips away
Helpless! helpless! Now they scream
Helpless on the path, he stands
And awakens, awakens from his dream
Singing string beneath his hand
Ahh...
Gentle archer ages old, release the aim and free the goal!
Ahh...
Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithfull to their knees
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for soemone or something to show you the way.
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.
So you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
And Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desparation is the English way
The time is gone the song is over, thought I'd something more to say
Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
When I come home cold and tired,
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
Johnny moon
Dreams in class
Answers the question before it's asked
You can see johnny but he's not here
Nobody saw johnny disappear
Mother says his mama's too easy
Letting him come and go as he pleases
Walls and windows won't do it
Lock the door
Johnny goes right through it
It's so hard to get his attention
When he's out there in another dimension
Johnny I wanna follow you outside
I wanna feel that high
It's so hard to get his attention
When he's out there in another dimension
Johnny, I wanna follow you outside
I wanna feel that high
Johnny, you, I can pretend with
You're only one I can really bend with
Take me 'cross the river styx
Fill my eyes with fire tricks
Anything you got up your sleeve
Anything you tell me, johnny, I'll believe
It's so hard to get your attention
When you're out there in another dimension
Johnny, I wanna follow you outside
Breathe, breathe in the air.
Don't be afraid to care.
Leave but don't leave me.
Look around and choose your own ground.
Long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be.
Run, rabbit run.
Dig that hole, forget the sun,
And when at last the work is done
Don't sit down it's time to dig another one.
For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
I just read your letter and fell down to my knees
My tears stain the paper and inside I found your keys
You're leaving for somewhere to find yourself again
You hope I forget you, like an echo in the wind
What now my heart cried
How am I to survive?
Like the ship of Cleopatra
With silver oars and flowing purple sails
I long for Alexandria
The land of fairytales
I walk to the bedroom and turn off all the lights
I'm hiding from sorrow and the fire of our nights
I lay on your pillow and breathe your memory
And dream of the city far beyond the deep blue see
What now my heart cried
This is not America – sha la la la la
A little piece of you
A little piece in me will die
This is not a miracle
For this is not America
Blossom fails to bloom this season
Promise not to stare too long
This is not America
For this is not the miracle
There was a time
A storm that blew so pure
For this could be the biggest sky
And I could have the faintest idea
For this is not America – sha la la la la
This is not America – sha la la la la
No – this is not – sha la la la la
Snowman melting from the inside
Falcon spirals to the ground
This is not a miracle
So bloody red tomorrows clouds
A little piece of you
A little piece in me will die
This could be miracle
For this is not America
There was a time
A storm that blew so pure
For this could be the biggest sky
And I could have the faintest idea
For this is not America – sha la la la la
This is not America – sha la la la la
In a dream last night
I watched as the angels came down
Slowly they float like they're shadows
Asleep on the ground
And there's no way home
No way home
I asked the gypsy for the answer
Then saw the writing on the wall
She turned the sky to alabaster
Drinking raindrops as they fall
And now night falls on the mountain
Day crawls to the edge
Sleep well majestic captain
Dream of your golden age
Moving pictures turn to black and white
See them burning in the wind
Watch the ashes pave the road of light
Let the dream begin again
Night falls on the mountain
Day crawls to the edge
Sleep well majestic captain
Lay me down in a bed of roses
Touch my lips before I sleep
You're with me now and when I close my eyes
You're in my dreams and pain's still deep
Like a candle in the rain I'm easy to put out
Like a picture through your window
You see right through my heart
Like a candle in the rain I'm easy to put out
Like a picture through your window
You see right through my heart
I never knew that nights could be so long
Without you
And only time will heal, time will heal all wounds
I never knew that nights could be so long
Without you
And only time will heal, time will heal all wounds
Lay me down in a bed of roses
Feel the thorns they cut my heart
The drops of blood they fall and mix with all my tears
Have I given up on love
Like a candle in the rain I'm easy to put out
Like a picture through your window
You see right through my heart
I never knew that nights could be so long
Without you
And only time will heal, time will heal all wounds
I never knew that nights could be so long
Without you
In the white room with black curtains near the station.
Blackroof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings.
Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes.
Dawnlight smiles on you leaving, my contentment.
I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines;
Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves.
You said no strings could secure you at the station.
Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows.
I walked into such a sad time at the station.
As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning.
I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back;
Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves.
At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd.
Consolation for the old wound now forgotten.
Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes.
She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings.
I'll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd;
One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah-smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Call Alice
When she was just small
When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know
When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's off with her head
Remember what the dormouse said
Feed your head
You who thought
Your eyes could tell no lies
So your life became a compromise
And it was you
Who had seen men dyin'
You heard their children cryin'
While their women weep in silence
And you who thought
You were so wise
Succeeded only in disguise
Now and then
You'd find a bridge to cross
Reach the other side
And you'd still be lost
Evaded by the sweet smell of life
And the people that you try
To show the way
Never believe you
Never believe you - no way
While your women weep in silence
Your women weep in silence
Lay me down in pity roses
Touch my lips before I sleep
you're with me now and when I close my eyes
Youre in my dreams and pain's to deep
like a candle in the rain
a missing to put out
like a picture through your window
You see right through my heart (x2)
I never knew... that nights could be so long
without you...
And only time will heal...
time will heal all wounds... (x2)
(guitar solo)
Lay me down in pity roses
Feel the toughts they cut my heart
four drops of blood before he takes with all my tears
have a given and put life
like a candle in the rain
a missing to put out
like a picture through your... window...
You see right through my heart...
I never knew... that nights could be so long
without you...
And only time will heal...
time will heal all wounds... (x2) Yeah yeah yeahhhhh!!!
(guitar solo)
I never knew... that nights could be so long
without you...
And only time will heal...
On and on, running in the shadows
I've been eluded by love
Can it find me here?
Reach out into the darkness
I've been waiting here for you
We've been through the war
And we've settled the score
I've paid my dues
Get me through the rain
Take me far away, lead me to the sun be my only one
Through the rain
Day by day turns into lonely nightfall
I pray that someday you'll hear me
Come and rescue me
I call out into the darkness
Only echoes return
Cursing the day that our love went away
Come and ease the pain
Get me through the rain
Take me far away
Lead me to the sun
Be my only one
I'm woven in a fantasy, I can't believe the things I
The path that I have chosen now has led me to a wall
And with each passing day I feel a little more like
something dear was lost
It rises now before me, a dark and silent barrier
between
All I am and all that I would ever want to be
It's just a travesty, towering, marking off the
boundaries my spirit would
erase
To pass beyond is what I seek, I fear that I may be too
weak
And those are few who've seen it through to glimplse
the other side
The promised land is waiting like a maiden that is soon
to be a bride
The moment is a masterpiece, the weight of indecision's
in the air
It's standing there, the symbol and the sum of all
that's me
It's just a travesty, towering, blocking out the light
and blinding me
I want to see
Gold and diamonds cast a spell, it's not for me to know
it well
The treasures that I seek are waiting on the other side
THere's more that I can measure in the treasure of the
love that I can find
And though it's always been with me
I must teard down the wall let it be
All I am, and all that I was ever meant to be, in
harmony
Shining true and smiling back at all who wait to cross
Late one night in the forest
I could smell the burning sage
And I heard the chants from the wizard
Calling for the hands of fate
Signs in the Tarot cards
Foretell the future's tale in the falling stars
The song of the nightingale
Tales from the Tarot cards
Songs of days gone by
Shine a light upon your mind's eye
Violet light filled the Heavens
The rain began to fall
And the cold white breath from the gypsy
Glowing through the crystall ball
Signs in the Tarot cards
Cross the starry sky
Dream of all the days gone by.
Shine a light upon your mind's eye
Signs in the Tarot cards
Foretell the future's tale in the falling stars
The song of the nightingale
Tales from the Tarot cards
Songs of days gone by
Shine a light upon your mind's eye
Signs in the Tarot cards
Cross the starry sky
Dream of all the days gone by.
The afterglow of sorrow
You can leave behind the pain
If you hold on to tomorrow
It'll get you through the rain
All of the bridges have been burning, burning down
Everything comes around
When the music dies the song will find you
After all the rain there's a rainbow
In your darkest night hear them singing
Arias and fables
Symphony of angels
If you've sold all your tomorrows
And there's no one left to blame
If you've got no time to borrow
Take shelter from the rain
All of the bridges have been burning, burning down
Everything comes around
When the music dies the song will find you
After all the rain there's a rainbow
In your darkest night hear them singing
Arias and fables
Symphony of angels
All of the bridges have been burning, burning down
Everything comes around
Ooh, everything comes around
When the music dies the song will find you
After all the rain there's a rainbow
In your darkest night hear them singing
Arias, arias and fables
When the music dies the song will find you
After all the rain there's a rainbow
In your darkest night hear them singing
Arias and fables
It's getting near dawn,
When lights close their tired eyes.
I'll soon be with you my love,
To give you my dawn surprise.
I'll be with you darling soon,
I'll be with you when the stars start falling.
I've been waiting so long
To be where I'm going
In the sunshine of your love.
I'm with you my love,
The light's shining through on you.
Yes, I'm with you my love,
It's the morning and just we two.
I'll stay with you darling now,
I'll stay with you till my seas are dried up.
I've been waiting so long
I've been waiting so long
I've been waiting so long
To be where I'm going
I stole a ride... on a passing star...
Not knowing where I was going, how near or how far."
" Through years of light... lands of future and past...
'Til the Heavenly gaze... was sighted at last. "
" Star-rider... (rider-RIDER)
... take me to the stars. "
" Star-rider... (rider-RIDER)
... show me where you are! "
" Northern Lights flash by... and then they were
gone...
and the old stars were dying... so the new ones were
born."
" Ever on our own... celestial ways...
And in the light of my years... shown the rest of my
days. "
" Speed increasing, all control is in the hands of
those who know! "
" Will they help us grow?... to one day peace -
star*rider !!! "
" Star-rider... (rider-RIDER)
... show me where you are."
" Star-rider... (rider-RIDER)
... take me to the stars!"
" Speed increasing, all control is in the hands of
those who know! "
" Will they help us grow?... to one day peace -
Sitting in my velvet chair, unaware
That time's stealing moments away
Daylight fades like salt in the sea, a mystery
Passing like a shooting star
Flowers bloom in the dark
And reach for starlight
Standing on the edge of time
The breath of a butterfly
Will lift the clouds of nine
Walking through a silken web, spiders bed
Hanging on the tree of life
Break the line it floats like a song, ever long
Singing like a falling star, a star
Candles burn in the dark
And light the way home
Standing on the edge of time
The breath of a butterfly
Will lift the clouds of nine
Standing on the edge of time
The wings of a butterfly
Will lift the clouds, lift the clouds
Cloud nine
Looking towards the sun
Closing my eyes slowly
Dreaming of a sky
Clouds of violet blue
River of the Stars
Garden of the Moon
Standing on the edge of time
The breath of a butterfly
Will lift the clouds of nine
Standing on the edge of time
The wings of a butterfly
she´s hittin´like a heart attack
trouble comin´down
the sea of love is a wonderful thing
until you finally drown
you´re buying´the dream now baby
wait´til she takes it away
she´s pourin´it on like rain
gonna pull you under oceans of pain
´cause love it´s an illusion
and time, time, time is slipping´away
she´s runnin´like a thief in the night
runnin´out of time
you´re gonna wake up, wake up alone
you been bitin´her line
you bought the dream now baby
and sugar just took it away
she left you nothin´but pain
gonna roll out lightnin´, thunder and rain
love it´s an illusion
High noon
Oh I'd sell my soul for water
Nine years' worth
Of breakin' my back
There's no sun in the shadow of the wizard
See how he glides
Why he's lighter than air
Oh I see his face
Where is your star
Is it far, is it far, is it far
When do we leave
I believe, yes, I believe
* in the heat and the rain
With whips and chains
Just to see him fly
So many die
We built a tower of stone
With out flesh and bone
Just to see him fly
Don't know why
Now where do we go
Hot wind moving fast across the desert
We feel that our time has arrived
The world spins while we put his wing together
A tower of stone to take him straight to the sky
Oh I see his face
Where is your star
It is far, is it far, is it far
When do we leave, yeah
I believe, I believe
All eyes see the figure of the wizard
As he climbs to the top of the world
No sound as he falls instead of rising
Time standing still
Then there's blood on the sand
Oh I see his face
Where was your star
Was it far, was it far
When did we leave
We believe, we believe, we believe
In the heat and rain
With whips and chains
To see him fly
So many die
We built a tower of stone
With out flesh and bone
To see him fly
But why, it don't rain
With all our chains,
Did so many die
Just to see him fly
Look at my flesh and bone
Now look, look, look, look
Look at this tower of stone
I see a rainbow rising
Look there on the horizon
And I'm coming home
Coming home, I'm coming home
Time is standing still
He gave me back my will
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Going home
I'm going home
My eyes are bleeding
And my heart is weeping
We still hope, we still hope, oh
Take me back
He gave me back my will
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Going home
I'm going home
My eyes are bleeding
And my heart is weeping
We still hope, we still hope, oh
Take me back, take me back
Standing in the dark
No soul to guide me
Flames from candles dance upon
My lonely stone walls
Staring in a mirror and hoping to see
The queen that I long to be
And all I need
Is someone to believe in me
This haunting melody plays on and on
Take this wish my darling
Don't be frightened
The kingdom on the hill is waiting
For you to come
Everyone is sleeping
So no one will hear
By morning all will clear
And all I need
Is someone to believe in me
This haunting melody plays on and on
Everyone is sleeping
So no one will hear
By morning all will clear
And all I need
Is someone to believe in me
This haunting melody plays on and on
And all I need
Is someone to believe in me
This haunting melody plays on and on
In the canopy of stars
Are secrets of the nine centuries
Between Venus, Earth and Mars
Symbols of the ancient fantasies
Signs of life 'cross the starry the sky
Moonlight dances on the water
Rivers flow into the sea
Stars align in perfect order
Secrets of Astrology
In an age of metaphor
The search for epiphones
Between here and evermore
From Atlantis to the Pleiades
Signs of life 'cross the starry the sky
Moonlight dances on the water
Rivers flow into the sea
Stars align in perfect order
Secrets of Astrology
Fire burns across heavens
Time will flow like mystery
Find the source of holy water
Secrets of astrology
On nights when stars shine bright
Over mountains near the sea
Like candles on a lonely night
They light infinity
And when the stars align
High in the sky
I wonder where they hide away
Somewhere out of everyday
There's a place where you can hide away
Stories ever told
About a long lost city of gold
Where you can dream for ever more
Chorus:
Catch the light of a falling star
And find the rainbow's end
Fortune falls on you from afar
At the water's edge
Eldorado and Shangri-la
Sounds of old obey
Colors of every orchestra
Are with you here today
When you find you're all aone
There's a way to find your way back home
Stories ever told
About a long lost city of gold
Where you can dream for ever more
(Chorus)
[Instrumental break]
Sailing on a sea of glass
In autumn rain's
Winds of change
And underneath the waters still and dark
I swear I saw her face
Lay me down in leaves of grass
Where ocean air
Blows through my hair
And up above where the rainclouds gather round
I swear I saw her face
And when it thunders
She will return here again
Queen of the ocean
Enter the pale sovereign
Floating on silver waves
Let pools of tears
Release your fears
Walk behind the sky's deep yellow moon
And there you'll see her face
And when it thunders
She will return here again
Queen of the ocean
Enter the pale sovereign
And under the blue skies
A daydream rushes by
And down in the ebbtides
Nights in white satin,
Never reaching the end,
Letters I've written,
Never meaning to send.
Beauty I'd always missed
With these eyes before,
Just what the truth is
I can't say anymore.
'Cause I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.
Gazing at people,
Some hand in hand,
Just what I'm going thru'
They can't understand.
Some try to tell me
Thoughts they cannot defend,
Just what you want to be
You will be in the end,
And I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.
Oh, how, I love you.
Nights in white satin,
Never reaching the end,
Letters I've written,
Never meaning to send.
Beauty I'd always missed
With these eyes before,
Just what the truth is
I cant say anymore.
'Cause I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.
Oh, how, I love you.
'Cause I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.
Oh, how, I love you.
"Late Lament"
Breathe deep the gathering gloom
Watch lights fade from every room
Bedsitter people look back and lament
Another day's useless energy spent.
Impassioned lovers wrestle as one,
Lonely man cries for love and has none.
New mother picks up and suckles her son,
Senior citizens wish they were young.
Cold hearted orb that rules the night,
Removes the colors from our sight.
Red is grey and yellow white,
But we decide which is right,
It was a Monday
A day like any other day
I left a small town
For the Apple in decay
It was my destiny
It's what we needed to do
They were telling me
I'm telling you
I was inside looking outside
The millions of faces
But still I'm alone
Waiting, hours of waiting
Paying a penance
I was longing for home
I'm looking out for the two of us
I hope we'll be here when they're through with us
I was inside looking outside
Oh the millions of faces
But still I'm alone
Waiting, hours of waiting
I could feel the tension
I was longing for home
I'm looking out for the two of us
And I hope we'll be here when they're through with us
I'm coming home
Monday, sad, sad Monday
She's waiting for me
But I'm a long, long way from home
Sad, sad Monday
She's waiting for me
But I'm a long, long way from home
Sad, sad Monday
Oh she's waiting for me
Once in a lonely dream
We lived as one
Kindred spirits, locked together
And I've known you for all time
Never ends my love
I've traveled time to find
Home in your eyes
Send your light my way
Forevermore, love make us one
If not now then when, let's let heaven in
Here me touch me, let heaven in
Seven times seventy oceans
Fill my heart
Could I pour them out
Just to let you know
But I fall so silently
Deep inside my soul
I've traveled time to find
Home in your eyes
Send your light my way
Forevermore, love make us one
If not now then when, let's let heaven in
Here me touch me, let heaven in
Forevermore, love make us one
If not now then when, let's let heaven in
Doll house in the corner Where you used to sit and play
Cutting paper playmates Having tea at noon each day All
the things you've cherished Now have faded all away And
you're a big girl now you say All familiar faces That you
used to watch and grow Now have turned to faces That you
really do not know Now some special boy Has come along
and brought you joy And wants to make love to you There
goes your innocence Who's to say what's right or wrong
But it's your innocence when you give it up it's gone In
your heart and in your mind If you feel it's the time
Then your innocence is gone All those little shadows
flickering on your bedroom wall Once were scary monsters
Now they are so very small Dangling as you whisper As you
hurry down the hall You want to show off to all There
goes your innocence Who's to say what's right or wrong
But it's your innocence When you give it up it's gone In
your heart and in your mind If you feel it's the time
Then your innocence is gone Follow intuition No, you
ain't done nothing bad Take a look around you At your
mother and dad You're not alone, happens all the time You
should be glad Yeah, you're a big girl now So sadThere
goes your innocence Who's to say what's right or wrong
But it's your innocence When you give it up it's gone In
your heart and in your mind If you feel it's the time
Your innocence, innocence... Innocence Innocence is
I'll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart in mind embraces
All day through
In this moe cafe
The pork across the way
The children's carrousel
Majestic dream, they wishing well
I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In everithing that's life gave
I'll allways think of you that way
I'll find you in the morning sun
and when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But i'll be seeing you...
(sax solo)
I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In everithing that's life gave
I'll allways think of you that way
I'll find you in the morning sun
and when the night is new...!!!
I'll be looking at the moon
When are you gonna come down
When are you going to land
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man
You know you can't hold me forever
I didn't sign up with you
I'm not a present for your friends to open
This boy's too young to be singing the blues
So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
What do you think you'll do then
I bet that'll shoot down your plane
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again
Maybe you'll get a replacement
There's plenty like me to be found
Mongrels who ain't got a penny
it could've been a blessing or it could have been a
dream
things aren't always what they seem
it happened in a instant it happened at night
married to the moment like a bird in flight
i saw it once and it started to fade
i reached out to touch and i asked it to stay
please please precious light must you leave so soon
tonight
i'm either dreaming or i'm out of my head
there's no ghost beside my bed
my skin feels so cold my heart beats like it gonna
explode
there's no fear there's no fright
just another visit from a spirit in the night
can somebody tell me what this means to me
or show me the truth behind what i see
please please precious light must you leave so soon
tonight
i'm either dreaming or i'm out of my head
there's no ghost beside my bed
are you a message from the grey beyond
or my mind telling me sanity's gone
it must be dreaming or i'm out of my head
there's no ghost beside my bed
i feel strange
i feel so strained
When the invention of your misdirection
Takes you places you never would go
You've had suspicions that all of your visions
Are moving in ways that you couldn't have known
In the dead of the night
Every direction's another dimension
Working the angles to bring him to life
Feeling the tension of every suspension
Wondering how he will ever survive
In the cool morning light
Out here where time and space collide
Nowhere to hide
Frankenstein what have you done
Now your ambition has clouded your vision
You will be tried for the crimes of the world
Nighttime is falling, voices are calling
Bring down the walls under the stars
In the eternal night
Out here where time and space collide
Nowhere to hide
Frankenstein what have you done
What have you done
What have you done
What have you done
The monster in you is the evil you do
here's something in the air tonight
Shapes are comin' out of the darkness
Ooh there's a shadow in the sky tonight
I see it rising up from the water
From the staircase
You see where the future lies
It's struggle between dark and light
From earth to sea
Symmetry fades into change
Between you and me
It's never enough
Break the chain, walk the path
Climb the steps to heaven's door
Turn the key, turn the page
Yesterday forevermore
There is darkness in the psyche
And a light that's burning bright
Within your soul
You find yourself so far away
Come and shake the hand of forever
Goes on and on and endlessly
Turning points of light into matter
When you're finding the holes
In geometry
It takes time to find your way home
From earth to sea
Symmetry fades into change
Between you and me
It's never enough
Break the chain, walk the path
Climb the steps to heaven's door
Turn the key, turn the page
Yesterday forevermore
There is darkness in the psyche
And a light that's burning bright
He stopped by the other day
Said he came to say he was leavin'
She just closed the door,let out a sigh
No more tears to cry
Now he's gone
No more tears
All the tears i cried have dried
Like fading diamonds in an ebbtide
Made her way back to the willow tree
Heard a honey bee humming softly
Saw the carving,still so very clear
Jack and Jill were here-now they're gone
So many tears
All the years i lived have died
Like fading diamonds in an ebbtide
Time to put away the fairytale
Let your ship set sail to the future
'Cause in the mirror there's a woman now
The child remains somehow
Never gone
No more fears
All the fears i has subside
Like fading diamonds in an ebbtide
All the tears i cried have dried
Like fading diamonds in an ebbtide
All the fears i has subside
I'm lookin' at the midnight like a loaded gun
And I'm caught in it's sight and there's nowhere to run
I know I gotta face it, it's a long cold fight
When you're just halfway through a lonely night
And I'm closin' my eyes but I just can't see
Got a fever inside and it's killin' me
I can see this dream burnin' down
There's nothing left but ashes on the ground
I see this dream goin' up in flames
And I know my life's never gonna be, never gonna be the same
And now I hold a pillow where I once held you
And the evening sun has turned me to blue
I think about tomorrow but I just don't care
'Cause I ain't gonna make it without you there
And I'm closin' my eyes but I just can't see
Got a fever inside and it's killin' me
I can see this dream burnin' down
There's nothing left but ashes on the ground
I see this dream goin' up in flames
And I know my life's never gonna be, never gonna be the same
No, no, no
I can see this dream burnin' down
There's nothing left but ashes on the ground
I see this dream goin' up in flames
And I know my life's never gonna be, never gonna be the same
No, no, no
There's nothing left but ashes on the ground
I see this dream goin' up in flames
And I know my life's never gonna be,
In the southwest desert
North America
Back in '47
The day was almost done
The sound of the locusts
The color of the sand
And the sky in the desert
Fell to the land
There's something hidden in Hanger 18
What did they find, what do they know
Down in New Mexico
They're holding out, they're laying low
Down in New Mexico
There are secret meetings
In low lit rooms
There are careless whispers
In dark saloons
It's plausible denial
The chain of command
There's a secret hiding
And a master plan
They're hiding something in Hanger 18
What did they find, what do they know
Down in New Mexico
They're hiding out, they're laying low
Down in New Mexico
Who pulls the strings, who runs the show
Down in New Mexico
They're holding out, no secrets told
Down in new New Mexico
And everything will change
Astronomy, Astrology
Nothing stays the same
Theology, Philosophy
There's something hidden in Hanger 18
What did they find, what do they know
Down in New Mexico
They're hiding out, they're laying low
Down in New Mexico
Who pulls the strings, who runs the show
Down in New Mexico
They're holding out, no secrets told
Down in new New Mexico
What did they find, what do they know
Down in New Mexico
Who holds the key, who writes the code
Down in New Mexico
Who pulls the strings, who runs the show
Down in New Mexico
They're holding out, no secrets told
All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I've been for a walk
On a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm
If I was in L.A.
California dreaming
On such a winter's day
Stopped into a church
I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees
And I pretend to pray
You know the preacher likes the cold
He knows I'm gonna stay
All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I've been for a walk
On a winter's day
If I didn't tell her
Words are flying out like
endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass
They slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow waves of joy
are drifting thorough my open mind
Possessing and caressing me
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Images of broken light which
dance before me like a million eyes
That call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a
restless wind inside a letter box
they tumble blindly as
they make their way across the universe
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Sounds of laughter shades of life
are ringing through my open ears
exciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which
shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on across the universe
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

We skipped the light fandango
turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
but the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
as the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
the waiter brought a tray
And so it was that later
as the miller told his tale
that her face, at first just ghostly,
turned a whiter shade of pale
She said, 'There is no reason
and the truth is plain to see.'
But I wandered through my playing cards
and would not let her be
one of sixteen vestal virgins
who were leaving for the coast
and although my eyes were open
they might have just as well've been closed
She said, 'I'm home on shore leave,'
though in truth we were at sea
so I took her by the looking glass
and forced her to agree
saying, 'You must be the mermaid
who took Neptune for a ride.'
But she smiled at me so sadly
I don't know what I'm searching for
I never have opened the door,
Tomorrow might find me at last,
Turning my back on the past,
But, time will tell, of stars that fell,
A million years ago.
Memories can never take you back, home, sweet home.
You can never go home anymore.
All my life I never really knew me till today,
Now I know why, I'm just another step along the way,
I lie awake for hours, I'm just waiting for the sun.
When the journey we are making has begun,
Don't deny the feeling that is stealing through your heart,
Every happy ending needs to have a start.
All my life I never really knew me till today,
Now I know why, I'm just another step along the way,
Weep no more for treasures you've been searching for in vain.
'Cos the truth is gently falling with the rain,
High above the forest lie the pastures of the sun,
Where the two that learned the secret are now one.
I don't know what I'm searching for
I never have opened the door,
Tomorrow might find me at last,
Turning my back on the past,
But, time will tell, of stars that fell,
A million years ago.
Memories can never take you back, home, sweet home.
Da sind sie, blind vor Schmerz
Total gelenkt, ohne Herz
Sie sind schön, so schön zu sehn
Können nicht alleine gehn
Marionetten tanzen gerne
Wie es immer war
Da, sieh ! Ekstatisch blind
Tanzen sie im Kreis geschwind
Die Fäden oben ziehn und schwänken
Marionetten lassen sich gerne lenken
Marionetten tanzen gerne
Wie es immer war
Der große Lenker wirkt geschwind
Bis die Fäden verheddert sind
Wahlos liegen sie ohne wehr
Tanzen werden sie wohl niemals mehr
Doch Marionetten tanzen gerne
Wie es immer war
Dreh dich, dreh dich
Schneller, schneller
Mein Puls schlägt plötzlich Sturmalarm
Landunter weit und breit
Und die Gedanken dreh'n glatt durch
Im Beben dieser Zeit
Ich hör' Trommeln hoch am Himmel
Irgendwo Trommeln hoch am Himmel
Die Tage flieh'n an mir vorbei
'ne Knarre im Genick
Blauer Dunst in meinem Kopf
'ne Zigarette für das Glück
Ich hör' Trommeln hoch am Himmel
Irgendwo Trommeln hoch am Himmel
Ist Sturmalarm, ist Sturmalarm
Ist Sturmalarm, ist Sturmalarm
Bunte Blätter auf dem Pflasterstein
Der Wind weht in's Gesicht
Und die Mauern der Vergangenheit
Versperren mir die Sicht
Ich hör' Trommeln hoch am Himmel
Irgendwo Trommeln hoch am Himmel
Ist Sturmalarm, ist Sturmalarm
Hier steh ich schwankend auf dem Tisch.Was die Leute denken, interessiert mich nicht.
Und ich sing vom Leben. Sing vom Tod.Durch das Fenster schimmert das Abendrot.Heyo. Hey das Glas in der Hand.Zerspringen soll es gleich an der Wand.Was soll das Jammern. Mir ist nicht bang.Wenn der Sensemann bittet zum letzten Tanz.
Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Dann sollst du tanzen. Tanzen.
Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Dann sollst du tanzen.
Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Dann sollst du tanzen. Tanzen.
Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Dann sollst du tanzen.
Die Augen rollen und das Glas zerspringt.
Ich geniess es. Wie es in den Ohren klingt.
Verspotte das Leben. Verachte den Tod.Durch das Fenster schimmert das Abendrot.Ich will den Suff und die Liebe pur.Keine halben Sachen. Denn da läuft die Uhr.Heut soll keiner klagen. Lieber mal was wagen.
Bis der Sensemann bittet zum letzten Tanz.
Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Dann sollst du tanzen. Tanzen.
Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Dann sollst du tanzen.
Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Dann sollst du tanzen. Tanzen.
Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Dann sollst du tanzen.
Nochmal Wasser des Lebens an der Liebesbar.
Und schon war es das hier unten. Alles klar.Doch von da oben lässt es sich gut loben.Hallelulia. Alles wunderbar.Heyo. Hey die Zeit verrinnt.
Und ich geniess es. Wenn der Himmel swingt.Vergib dem Leben. Vergib dem Tod.Über den Wolken schimmert das Abendrot.
Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Dann sollst du tanzen. Tanzen.
Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Dann sollst du tanzen.
Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Wenn ich tot bin. Dann sollst du tanzen. Tanzen.
Rosa, so heißt die feine Dame
Rosa ist ihre Lieblingsfarbe
Rosa, ich bin verrückt nach dir
Rosa vom Kopf bis zu den Fersen
Rosa, so magst du es halt gerne
Ja, deine Welt ist rosarot
Rosa sind alle deine Worte
Rosa die Kerzen auf der Torte
Und rosa jeder Kuss
Rosa, so heißt...
Rosa sind alle deine Wände
Rosa der Lack an deinen Händen
Und rosa ist sogar dein Bett
Rosa lässt du die Hüllen fallen
Rosa, dann kommt mein Blut ins Wallen
Ein ganz gemeines Spiel
Rosa, so heißt...
Walzer der Liebe 123
Im Kreis herum und 123
Dein Rosa Kuss und 123
What do I do stand in a shop
Waiting for that money to drop
Stand all day on a concrete slate
My feet are aching don't get a break
Singin'
What do I do? What am I to do? [x2]
You know I get up early, I come home late
You can crack that whip but I'm miles away
I wonder how long I gotta stay here for
Hell, I'm more than a little bored
Singin'
What do I do? What am I to do? [x2]
Hands in bleach I'm scouring
I've got lovely smelling skin
My favorite chore is sweeping the floor
Glamor to the very core
Singin'
