Take me to another place, she said
Take me to another time
Run with me across the oceans
Float me on a silver cloud
If I could I would, but I don't know how
If I could I would, but I don't know how
If I could I would and I'd take you now
Stay with me till time turns over
I want to feel my feet leave the ground
Take me where the whispering breezes
Can lift me up and spin me around
If I could I would...
Hear you laughing as we go
Flipping backward through the doors and through the windows...
I'm melting into nothing
If I could I would, but I don't know how
If I could I would, but I don't know how
I'm floating in the blimp a lot, I feel the feeling I forgot
Of swimming weightless in the womb or bouncing gently around the room
In a minute I'll be free, and you'll be splashing in the sea
I feel no curiosity, I see the path ahead of me
In a minute I'll be free, and you'll be splashing in the sea
I hear a tiny cry as we go sliding by
[Instrumental]
[Many years after the overthrow of Wilson, a rebel soldier crouching
high on a hilltop above the war torn forests of Gamehendge spots a
group of loyalists approaching from their lakeside encampment below.
His trusty llama stands beside him, loaded down with a canvas pack
that holds two large bazooka type guns to the animal's sides. Near the
man sits a cache of blastoplast, each capable of destroying the entire
hillside in an instant...]
Sunrise over the turquoise mountains
Messenger birds in sight
They came up through the valley
Both sides at a time
Through the cold steady rain
Raid!
I bend down
Poke a double decker on a llama
Taboot
Llama, Taboot Taboot
Trigger a blastoplast, ramshackle laker recedes
I start to run
It was the loudest thing I'd ever heard
And I knew my time had come
To enter the delta
Leave it on press [2x]
Depress, Depress
Llama, Taboot Taboot
Leave it on press
Depress, Depress
Llama, Taboot Taboot
Llama, Taboot Taboot
Llama, Taboot Taboot
Taboot Taboot
Taboot Taboot
Taboot
I'm looking through and it all would be so crystal clear
If it wasn't for the foam
But the foam keeps getting thicker, and it just keeps getting harder
I crashed, I burned
But then I learned
To keep my eye on you
You always say
You'll lead the way
But then you never do
I slowed, I swerved
But lost my nerve
And quickly looked away
When I looked back
The day was black
Then I heard you say
Why is the sun hot?
Why does it rain?
Why is there danger and
Why is there pain?
Why can't the burden
we carry go away?
And why isn't it Friday today?
Your lack of trust
Is hardly just
So do as you've been told
Please follow me
Into the sea
Don't worry if it's cold
I knew right then
My chance again
Had quickly slipped away
I crash I cry
I burn but I
Still follow anyway
Why is the sea cool?
Why is it blue?
Why do I stay here?
Why is it you
Notice the danger
But don't help in any way?
Oh Tequila, I turn to you like a long lost friend
I want to kiss my Mexican Cousin once again
We'll cover every emotion from happiness to sorrow,
And the conversations I forget, you'll tell me about tomorrow
When the phone calls start, am I in bed or in a hearse?
The things you tell me about myself can't make me feel any worse
Well I'm awful sorry you got pissed
Just have to cross you off the list
Of my true friends...
The overhead view is of me in a maze
And you see what I'm hunting a few steps away
And I take a wrong turn and I'm on the wrong path
And the people all watching enjoy a good laugh
Embarrassed with failure, I try to reverse
The course that my tread had already traversed
So doing the trauma engulfing my dream
Invaded through what was an unguarded seam
The torrent of helplessness swept me away
To the cavern of shame and the hall of dismay
Inside me a voice was repeating this phrase:
I am the king of nothing
The emperor of emptiness
I don't have a castle
And I don't wear a crown
I recall as a small child
The dreams that I once had
Yes, I recall as a small boy
Those dreams which drove me mad
'cause I once found myself a kingdom
It was not too far away
I once found myself a kingdom
But somehow I let it slip away
So I am the king of nothing
The emperor of emptiness
And I don't have a castle
And I don't have a crown
And I recall as a small child
Those dreams I once had
I recall as a small boy
Those dreams which drove me mad
I once found myself a kingdom
And I thought that it was here to stay
Yes, I once found myself a kingdom
But somehow I let it slip away
So I am the king of nothing
The emperor of emptiness
And I don't have a castle
Jesus left Chicago
And he headed down to New Orleans
Jesus left Chicago
And he headed down to New Orleans
Hey hey
Workin' from one end to the other
And all points in between
Took a drive through Mississippi
Muddy water turned to wine
Took a drive through Mississippi
Muddy water turned to wine
Hey hey
Went out to California
Through the points and through the pines
You might not see him in person
But he'll see you just the same
Might not see him in person
But he'll see you just the same
Hey hey
Don't have to worry about nothin'
'Cause takin' care of business is his name
Jesus left Chicago
And he headed down to New Orleans
Jesus left Chicago
And he headed down to New Orleans
Hey hey
Workin' from one end to the other
There are men high up there fishing
Haven't seen quite enough of the world
I ain't seen a sign of my heroes
And I'm still diving down for pearls
Let me flow into the ocean
Let me get back to the sea
Let me be stormy and let me be calm
Let the tide in, and set me free
I'm flowing under bridges
Then flying through the sky
I'm travelling down cold metal
Just a tear in baby's eye
Let me flow into the ocean
Let me get back to the sea
Let me be stormy and let me be calm
Let the tide in, come set me free
Set me free
I am not the actor
This can't be the scene
But I am in the water
As far as I can see...
I'm remembering distant memories
Recalling other names
Rippling over canyons
And boiling in the train
Let me flow into the ocean
Let me get back to the sea
Let me be stormy and let me be calm
Let the tide in, come set me free
Set me free
Set me free
I wanna drown
i'll tell you about the driver who lives inside my head
starts me up and stops me and puts me into bed
he opens up my mouth when it's time for me to talk
fires up my legs when he wants me to walk
keeps my eyes open most of the day
adds to my memory the things that people say
when he makes decisions i dont have to wait
but sometimes it seems he's got to much on his plate
like this morning when i woke up and he dressed me in this shirt
that looks a little ragged where he drug me through the dirt
i'm moving through this life and i'm thinking about the next
and hoping when i get there i'll be better dressed
keeps my eyes open for most of the day
adds to my memory the things that people say
when he makes decisions i dont have to wait
Washed up on shore...
Washed up on shore...
I'd like to live beneath the dirt
A tiny space to move and breathe is all that I would ever need
I want to live beneath the dirt
Where I'd be free from push and shove like all those swarming up above
Beneath your heals I'll spend my time
Shout your name into the wind
I'll wiggle in the earth and dew
Shout your name into the wind
And somtimes I will think of you
Shout your name into the wind
And if you ever think of me
Kneel down and kiss the earth
And show me what this thought is worth
I'll never hear your voice again
Shout your name into the wind...
Shout your name into the wind...
Shout your name into the wind...
Shout your name into the wind...
Shout your name into the wind...
Shout yout name into the wind...
Shout your name into the wind...
The woman was a dream I had though rather hard to keep
For when my eyes were watching hers, they closed, and I was still asleep
For when my hand was holding hers, she whispered words and I awoke
And faintly bouncing around the room the echo of whomever spoke
I awoke and faintly bouncing round the room the echo of whomever spoke
The place I saw was far beneath the surface of the sea
My sight was poor but I was sure the sirens sang their songs for me
They dance above me as I sink I see them through a crystal haze
And hear them bouncing round the room the never ending coral maze
I'm leaving you a message
I'm leaving you a trace
I'm leaving thoughts for you
I hope that time will not erase
And when the moment comes
To read the words that I engraved
You'll find them on the walls of the cave
Of the cave
I know you heard the question
But you didn't make a sound
And when it fell you caught my heart
Before it hit the ground
But if you ever need the names
Of those you couldn't save
You'll find them on the walls of the cave
You'll find them on the walls of the cave
Look at me and time stands still
A mountain here is now a hill
Look away
Look away
The time goes past
These rocks will fall away at last
Look away
Maybe you will see it
As you're passing by alone
Below the moss forgotten
Where some words that turned to stone
It might have been an etching
On a marker of a grave
Or maybe on the walls of the cave
Listen to
The silent trees
But still your words
Float on the breeze
Look away
I see them all
Carved into
The cavern wall
Listen to
The silent trees
Listen to
The silent trees
Listen to
The silent trees
Listen to
The Swiss Miss Girl made her fortune
Doing commercials on TV
But ";Easy come, easy go"; was
Her philosophy
She spent all of her money
She was searching for some cash
So she went to her friend Capt 'n Crunch
Whom she'd met at a Hollywood bash
The second that he saw her
He said, ";I bet you're in need
Of some dough";
Perplexed and confused she asked him,
";Oh but Captain how did you know?";
Laughingly he responded,
";It was really just a lucky hunch";
With tears in her eyes she pleaded,
";Will you help me out Capt 'n Crunch?";
The trials and tribulations
Of the Swiss Miss Girl
She's got a famous reputation
And she's known throughout the world
But life's no bed of roses
She would change things if she could
She plans to make a brand new start
And move out of Hollywood
The Captain now was grinning
He felt he had her in the palm of his hand
He said, ";Darlin' you're a penniless woman
And I'm a wealthy man";
You know the rules of the game by now
I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine
He said, ";Let me take you out
And we'll talk about this
Over a bottle of wine";
The Swiss Miss Girl was disgusted
And she smacked him right in his face
Then she took his hat
And she stamped on that
Just to put him in his place
But the old man was persistent
He would not be undaunted
The more that he'd been taunted
The more she turned him on
Then the Captain made a pass at the Swiss Miss Girl
Tryin' to show her his affection
She screamed for help And when she did...
Mr. Clean came to her protection
The trials and tribulations
Of the Swiss Miss Girl
She's got a famous reputation
And she's known throughout the world
But life's no bed of roses
She would change things if she could
She plans to make a brand new start
And move out of Hollywood
We've got it simple, 'cause we've got a band
And we've got cymbals in the band
We've got it simple, 'cause we've got a band
And we've got cymbals in the band
What is a band without cymbals?
Ooh ooh, cymbals are grand
We've got a saxophone, 'cause we've got a band
And we've got a saxophone in the band
We've got a saxophone, 'cause we've got a band
And we've got saxophone in the band
What is a band without saxophone?
Ooh ooh, saxophone is grand
Cymbals and saxophones
Saxophones and cymbals
Cymbals and saxophones
Saxophones and cymbals
We've got Be-bop, 'cause we've got a band
And we play Be-bop in the band
We've got skyscrapers and it seems a pretty tune
Every band needs skyscrapers too
What is a band without skyscrapers?
Ooh ooh, skyscrapers is grand
Sim-Bop and Be-Bophone
Sky-Balls and Sax-Scraper
Sim-Bop and Be-Bophone
Sky-Balls and Sax-Scraper
It's hidden far away but someday I may tell
The tale of metal tangle when into your world I fell
Without you now I wander soaking secretly afraid
But in your grasp the fears don't last though some of them have stayed
I wheeled around because I, I didn't hear what you had said
And saw you dancing with Elihu up on Leemor's bed
And I was foggy rather groggy, you helped me to my car
The binding belt enclosing me, a sample in a jar
And on the market stands unfolding with all their willies and their wares
I shuffle by alert but numb to all the glances and the glares
I think of you unheeding all the times I raise my cup
It's now I know that you knew that I'd soon end up, end up
I wheeled around because I, I didn't hear what you had said
And saw you dancing with Elihu up on Leemor's bed
And I was foggy rather groggy, you helped me to my car
The binding belt enclosing me, a sample in a jar
You tricked me like the others and now I don't belong
The simple smiles and good times seem all wrong
I wheeled around because I, I didn't hear what you had said
And saw you dancing with Elihu up on Leemor's bed
And I was foggy rather groggy, you helped me to my car
The binding belt enclosing me, a sample in a jar
Sample in a jar
A sample in a jar
There's a mouse starin' out of the window
His car is trapped in the snow
He's planning a family vacation
But he just can't go
Around the next corner's a red bird
His feathers are trapped in a sling
He's passed by some gunslinging parrot
Who's jealous he ain't got no grin
There ain't no time to stash the gumbo
Or rattle around in a cage
The sacrificed child's made bubbles
And spittle is everywhere enraged
In a hot sand I render my feet
They're blistered and caked with debris
Chez rolez is guarding the tote board
While Angry piddles with glee
There's a fool writing notes out on sandpaper
He's sending them off to himself
He gets them a couple days later
Who put them along his top shelf
If you get tired of shavings
And carve up a good hunk of wood
Remembering to check on the sausage
Much ado is all I see
And feel like it's surrounding me
The crowd intrudes all day
'Til I'm finally swept away
I'm finally swept away
I'm finally swept away
I'm finally swept away
there are no lyrics to this song
It's time I sling the baskets off this overburdened horse
Sink my toes into the ground and set a different course
Cause if I were here and you were there
I'd meet you in between [originally "Mathilda in between"]

Ahhh!
Divided sky, the wind blows high
[the divided sky chant is part of an ancient ritual dating back to the
Pre-wilson years of she purity in gamehendge. after listening to the
Sacred sounds for a sloping lawn, three chosen subjects eat a special
Root collected at the base of the enormous mountain that rises in the
Center of the forest. the root is believed to contain the spirit of
Icculus, who lives at the top of the mountain. after eating the root,
They venture into a vast field at sundown. the field is deep green,
And stretches as far as the eye can see in all directions. in the
Center of the field stands an enormous black rhombus. they climb the
Rhombus and begin to sing, paying homage to the gods of the night
[(appears twice on the album)]
When you're there, I sleep lengthwise
And when you're gone

[Part 2 - The Chase]
[Part 3 - Who do? We do!]
[Part 4 - Clod]

Hellborn elfchild roadhog mountain fortune hunter man beheaded her

Tipsy fuddled boozy groggy elevated prime did edit her

Soon your luscious honey sugar mellifluous life is gonna end

(instrumental)
Rhine wine, Car horn
Now that you've deceived me, and played my name around
And hung those nasty flyers, on all the buildings in town
Dribbled my possessions in a ring around the earth
And bought and sold my self-control for less than it was worth
Now I know the reason that I'm feeling so forlorn
I'll pick you up at eight as usual, listen for my horn
[Instrumental]
Don't want to be an actor pretending on the stage
Don't want to be a writer with my thoughts out on the page
Don't want to be a painter 'cause everyone comes to look
Don't want to be anything where my life's an open book
A dream, it's true but I'd see it through
If I could be wasting my time with you
Don't want to be a farmer working in the sun
Don't want to be an outlaw always on the run
Don't want to be a climber reaching for the top
Don't want to be anything where I don't know when to stop
A dream it's true but I'd see it through
If I could be wasting my time with you
So if I'm inside your head
Don't believe what you might have read
You'll see what I might have said
To hear it come waste your time with me
Come waste your time with me
So if I'm inside your head
Don't believe what you might have read
You'll see what I might have said
To hear it come waste your time with me
Come waste your time with me
Come waste your time with me
Come waste your time with me
Come waste your time with me
Come waste your time with me
Come waste your time with me
I spoke your name for many days
Pronouncing it in several ways
I spoke your name for many days
Pronouncing it in several ways
And moving letters all around
And when you heard the end result
I told you it was not my fault
If you were here more of the day
It wouldn't twist around that way
It wouldn't twist around that way
It wouldn't twist around that way
It wouldn't twist around that way
It wouldn't twist around that way
It wouldn't twist around that way
It wouldn't twist around that way
It wouldn't twist around that way
It wouldn't twist around that way
It wouldn't twist around that way
It wouldn't twist around that way
It wouldn't twist around that way
It wouldn't twist around that way
Wouldn't twist around
Wouldn't twist around
Wouldn't twist around
Won't you step into the freezer?
[Instrumental]
I need a new way to express myself
So you don't need to guess
What otherwise I'd say aloud
And watch it float just like a cloud
High up above you like a thunderhead
But you would just look down instead
And you wait 'til foggy skies abate
And vapor clouds all dissipate
And when with them all my words for you
Have softly sublimated too
And you'll just hope that I've moved on
The squirming coil of sunset, I keep within my reach
Tried yesterday to get away and hitchhiked to the beach
I saw Satan on the beach trying to catch a ray
He wasn't quite the speed of light and the squirming coil
It got away, yea, it got away
It got away, yea, it got away
It got away, yea, it got away
The muscles flex the mother's ring, they fasten children to her king
And sent him down the crooked street
When he returns, the birth's complete
Jimmy holds the tannis root, the forest's tasty nectar shoot
The sun tips off the monarch's suit from sequined sash to shiny boot
I'd like to lick the coil some day like Icarus, who had to pay
With melting wax and feathers brown and he tasted it on his way down
Stun the puppy, burn the whale, bark a scruff and go to jail
Forge the coin and lick the stamp, little jimmy's off to camp
It got away, yea, it got away
It got away, yea, it got away
It got away, yea, it got away
Slave to the traffic light, slave
Slave to the traffic light, slave
See the city, see the zoo
The pressure builds, you buy a gift
You're hoping that your dread will lift
It glitters on her like a glass
You shudder as it comes to pass
Apologize to Luce and Lil'
Converse with Ed, a drive with Jill
Your friends confine you in their worlds
One by one, a string of pearls
Confuse you say, this isn't me
You hover in their unity
Ashamed, you slowly lose your grasp
Release the links, undo the clasp
The skin that drips down from the tree
And peels back slowly from your knee
Erupts into your lung and heart
You laugh and laughing, fall apart
Laugh and laughing, fall apart
Laugh and laughing, fall apart
Laugh and laughing, fall apart
Much ado is all I see
(Although my roots were deep)
In fact it is surrounding me
The seething crowd intrudes all day
(I sank in hillsides deep)
Until I'm finally swept away
Although I thought my roots were deep
(The rivers that erode)
I sank them into hillsides steep
And riverbanks that soon erode
(And canyons overflow)
I can't describe the feeling when
I'm in my bed asleep and then
I wake up with a vision blurred
And all my efforts are deterred
To reconstruct this image lost
There're certain things my mind must do
And even though they're very few
The image glistens like a gem
Repairing is not one of them
So I'm awake though in my mind
The image thats so unrefined
Is calling to me from the deep
If you can heal the symptoms
but not affect the cause
it's quite a bit like trying to heal
the gunshot wound with gauze
if you instead attempt to rest
the pistol from the hand
then I would not be able to
equate my life with sand
Flowing through the hourglass
pushing through the funnel
turn once more and racing
all your siblings for the tunnel
slide and let the silicone
embrace you as you fall
then bounce around
and let your brothers
crush you to the wall
I would choose my own religion
worship my own spirit
but if he ever preached to me
I wouldn't want to hear it
I'd drop him a forgotten god
languishing in shame
and then if I hit stormy seas
I'd have myself to blame
If you can heal the symptoms,
but not affect the cause
Oh, to be Prince Caspian afloat upon the waves
Oh, to be Prince Caspian afloat upon the waves
Oh, to be Prince Caspian afloat upon the waves
Oh, to be Prince Caspian
With nothing to return to but the demons in their caves
Oh, to be prince Caspian afloat upon the waves
Oh, to be Prince Caspian afloat upon the waves
Oh, to be Prince Caspian afloat upon the waves
Oh, to be Prince Caspian
And the children in the fields are sewing seed and chaffing wheat
Oh, to be Prince Caspian with stumps instead of feet
Oh, to be Prince Caspian
Oh, to be Prince Caspian
Oh, to be Prince Caspian

Zither, Rachel, cardamom, frost - But at what cost?
Threshold, skin, fortress, win - A life of sin
Pliers, tension, toy store, grace - The human race
Raking, fourteen, basket, screw - Now how 'bout you?
Passion, cardboard, raisin, stop - A better crop
Field, cater, open, new - Who's mocking who?
It's just a mock song
Gas, thirsty, rattle, tick - A bone to pick
Fountain, egg, treason, cave - Will you dance on grave?
Throat, carrot, meeting, choke - I got that joke
Temper, thistle, Rodney, wilt - The house I built
Fewer, pink, Kyle, ball - I've known them all

Because it's just a mock song
The old man knows very well
Going down round the snowbank, there's a mound
A mound that an old man knows good
Look who raises his shoe all over this mound
Right over the world that's another rewind
And it's time, time, time for the last rewind
For a broken old man and a world unkind
He buried all his memories of home
In an icy clump that lies beneath the ground
No one knows how far he traveled
Oh! I heard he walked miles from the little mound
Can he find some shelter?
He doesn't know to behold what the cold frost can do
And at last till he realized he'd circled back around
Round a back circle, round a back realized
chorus
Ice is all he was made of
The bitter blue, and frozen through
He went over to the mound
Reclining down his final thoughts
My sweet one, I'll call you my sweet one
You're my only true sweet one
With my all, I'll call you my sweet one
From far away, I'll say your name
Oh with you, I'd travel thick
And with you, I'd also travel thin
And all the spaces in between
I'd travel with you, you're my sweet one
But for now I must sit here and ponder the yonder
Herbivores ate well cause their food didn't never run
Oh, if You're ever unsatisfied with the way life's treating You
You know You can count on me to take good care of You
I love you honey oh yes I do You know that's true of course
Piper, piper the red, red worm
Awoke last night to the sound of the storm
The words are the words, I sailed upon
Piper, piper the red, red worm
Awoke last night to the sound of the storm
The words are the words, I sailed upon
Piper, piper the red, red worm
Awoke last night to the sound of the storm
The words are the words, I sailed upon
Written by dizzy gillespie and gil fuller
Crab in my shoemouth
Crab in my shoemouth
Crab in my shoemouth
And we're glad glad glad that you're alive
And we're glad glad glad that you'll arrive
And we're glad glad glad glad glad glad glad
