Brazil i/brəˈzɪl/ (Portuguese: Brasil, IPA: [bɾaˈziw]), officially the Federative Republic of Brazil (Portuguese: República Federativa do Brasil, listen (help·info)), is the largest country in South America. It is the world's fifth largest country, both by geographical area and by population with over 192 million people. It is the only Portuguese-speaking country in the Americas and the largest lusophone country in the world.
Bounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the east, Brazil has a coastline of 7,491 km (4,655 mi). It is bordered on the north by Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname and the French overseas region of French Guiana; on the northwest by Colombia; on the west by Bolivia and Peru; on the southwest by Argentina and Paraguay and on the south by Uruguay. Numerous archipelagos form part of Brazilian territory, such as Fernando de Noronha, Rocas Atoll, Saint Peter and Paul Rocks, and Trindade and Martim Vaz. It borders all other South American countries except Ecuador and Chile.
Brazil was a colony of Portugal from the landing of Pedro Álvares Cabral in 1500 until 1815, when it was elevated to the rank of kingdom and the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves was formed. The colonial bond was in fact broken in 1808, when the capital of the Portuguese colonial empire was transferred from Lisbon to Rio de Janeiro, after Napoleon invaded Portugal.Independence was achieved in 1822 with the formation of the Empire of Brazil, a unitary state governed under a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary system. The country became a presidential republic in 1889, when a military coup d'état proclaimed the Republic, although the bicameral legislature, now called Congress, dates back to the ratification of the first constitution in 1824. Its current Constitution, formulated in 1988, defines Brazil as a Federal Republic. The Federation is formed by the union of the Federal District, the 26 States, and the 5,564 Municipalities.

Brazil, where hearts were entertaining june
We stood beneath an amber moon
And softly murmured someday soon
We kissed and clung together
Then, tomorrow was another day
Morning found me miles away
With still a million things to say
Now, when twilight dims the sky above
Recalling thrills of our love
There's one thing I'm certain of
Return I will to old brazil
instrumental
Then, tomorrow was another day
Morning found me miles away
With still a million things to say
Now, when twilight dims the sky above
Recalling thrills of our love
There's one thing that I'm certain of
Return I will to old brazil
That old brazil
Man, it's old in brazil
Brazil, where hearts were entertaining June,
We stood beneath an amber moon
And softly murmured "someday soon."
We kissed and clung together,
Then, tomorrow was another day
The morning found me miles away
With still a million things to say;
Now, when twilight dims the sky above
Recalling thrills of our love,
There's one thing I'm certain of
Return I will to old Brazil.
Brazil
When hearts were entertained in June
We stood beneath an amber moon
And softly whispered 'some day soon'
We kissed and clung together
Then
Tomorrow was another day
The morning found me miles away
With still a million things to say
When twilight beams the skies above
Recalling thrills of our love
There's one thing I'm certain of
Return I will
Ooh, next time I see you, I'll be singing in Brazil,
Misty land of music where the feet are never still,
And pretty senhoritas dressed up for the kill,
They'll be glad that you're coming to Brazil, yeah, me too,
So glad that you're coming to Brazil...
Ooh, next thing you know you're out here dancing in the streets,
Working with the people on that Boss-a-Nova beat,
And some dark-eyed lady brings you wine and a chicken wing,
In Brazil where the Carnival is king, yes,
Brazil where the Carnival is king, everbody's singing,
Ah la la Brazil,
Ah la la Brazil,
Ah la la Brazil,
Ah la la Brazil,
Ooh, Rio de Janeiro is the kind of place for me,
Dancing in the moonlight, making love down by the sea,
From Copacabana to the Corcovado hill,
Everybody's always singing in Brazil,
Yeah, everybody's, ooh singing, in Brazil,
All together now...
Ah la la Brazil...
Cancao du Brazil...
(Song of Brazil)
Tudo beum Brazil...
(All's well in Brazil)
Ah la la Brazil...

Bust off shotties, knock niggas mother's out
Rolling in them renters in winter, too much bones get bent up
The saw'll eat up, your chrome for dinner
We tasting VS's, very special Cognac since G.S.'s
Now we leaning Louis sneakers and C.L.S.'s
I'm far from your average rapper, yeah Shallah, hit with an actor
Cutting through your time, then slap ya
Yo, you see me on them Smack shits, all of my Skittles on
In black whips, living comfortable in some glass cribs
Word to Jabari, my junior, only two years old
Swimming with the sharks, I'm a feed you tuna
Your pops been a whale since jail

[Ill Bill:]
Where carnivale mamis is I'll
Take me to Paul Wall, buy me a grill
I got groupies, buying me Gucci's and exclusive Nike's, it's real
I stay biz in the kitchen with the Chef Rae-Kwiz
It's easy five mill or I'm a have to take they kids
I figured out how to rape the system, I made more than your album budget
Off of a freestyle, on this mixtape, a hustler
That understand dollars and cents
I get blowjobs from runway models in France
The rap Burt Reynolds, when I married the world troubles
Producing earthquakes, turning ya stone hedge to pebbles
The life we chose, the path we lead, ain't none of us'll
See heaven, that's our own guarantee
Never, rat on your friends, always keep your mouth shut
The back of the Benz, put this in your mouth, slut
I saw, I conquered, I came and I'm out
I hear they have the good drugs in Brazil
Maybe I'll take some
Maybe I'll feel better if I do
In Brazil
I hear they're pretty laissez-faire down there
But me I'm so uptight
Taken unaware - well, I just might
In Brazil
I hear they have the good drugs in Brazil
Maybe I'll take some
Maybe I'll feel better if I do

From the four corners of this land
We hear a cry, we hear a prayer
The tears of hope and faith are shed
To bring forth things that are still ahead
We have the promise of revival
The nations wait for it to see
And our inheritance, our country
We declare that all God’s self will be
Brazil, there’s a people here who love You
Brazil, there’s a dream that God has given
We cry out to Him
We believe his faithful plan
Soon He will come to restore you once again
If my people who are called by my holy name
Humble themselves,
If they pray,
If they seek my face
If my people who are called by my holy name
Prepare to turn away from their wicked ways
I will hear,
I will forgive,
I will heal their land
Se o meu povo que se chama pelo meu nome
Dos seus caminhos maus se desviar
Eu ouvirei,
Perdoarei
Brazil, where hearts were entertaining june

There's one thing that I'm certain of
Return I will to old Brazil
That old Brazil
Man, it's old in Brazil
It's true darling, I'll walk you home
I'll be your date forever
I love you girl, I love you
Until they split the atom
So many times, there's nothing left
There's nothing left at all
I know I'm right, cause when you're gone
There's nothing left at all
I've thought about this for a long time
I've been getting no sleep at night
One day I'm sure I'll forget all about it
Might even make me smile
I guess you crashed my heart at the worst time
You left a bitter taste in my mouth
I don't wanna spend the rest of my days
Drinking cheep red wine
Tell me what to do
Cause I don't know what to do
You said do what's good for you
That's all you gatta do
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh yeah, oh yeah!
Tell me what to do
Cause I haven't got a clue
You said do what's good for you
That's what I would do
If I were you
Oh yeah, oh yeah!
Oh, I though I'd given it all away
Ain't that what lovers are supposed to say
One day you come round with a knife
Cut out a chunk of my life
Sometimes I wish I had a yellow jersey on
While wearing it, I'm pretty sure that nothing would go wrong
I would tackles all my troubles and be the one who scores the goal
But now I'm sitting on the bench waiting for my time to come
Tell me what to do, oh yeah
Tell me what to do, oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh yeah, oh yeah!
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh yeah, oh yeah!
Tell me what to do
Cause I don't know what to do
You said do what's good for you
That's all you gatta do
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh yeah, oh yeah!
Tell me what to do
Cause I haven't got a clue
You said do what's good for you
That's what I would do
If I were you

Sidewalk slide
I just want a ride
Electric city lights the scene
The color of your eyes
Faux Brazil
Sunrise
Emotion killed its all mine
Mine all mine, yeah
Glowing skin
Japanese skyline
I was looking in for some love
To cover me
Fade in
Fade out
Fade in
Fade out
I was looking for some love to cover me
I was looking for some love to shower me
Would you cover me with love?
Cover me with your love
Cover me with love
Cover me with your love
Fade in
Fade out
Fade in
Fade out
Sidewalk slide
I just want a ride
Electric city lights the sky
Sidewalk slide
Let it ride
Shades of green and blue
Violent with life
Colours of earth so vibrant and true
Mist of the dense forest of rain
Amazon people
Bearing the global pain
Brazil, Brazil
Can you ever forgive us
Brazil, Brazil
What have we done
See the native people's conscious way
Sustainable growth
In a competitive age
Discover a world of medicinal use
A shaman's secret
Is the power we'll all lose
Brazil, Brazil...

Where hearts were entertaining June
We stood beneath an amber moon
And softly murmured someday soon
(Someday) We kissed
(We kissed) And clung together
Then tomorrow was another day
The morning found me miles away
With still a million things to say
Now when twilight dims the sky above
Recalling (thrills) of our love
There's one thing that I'm certain of
Return I will to old Brazil
(Return) Return
(I will) I will
I'm sorry for suggesting
I'm reading the whitewhashed faces
I could use a connection
I'm watching the whitewashed faces
On a good night sent spinning
Knows to play it winning
Strawberry red twizzlers
I wanna know what's with her
In the sun lie pale lovers
Drink slow and slowly
Over each of us in our turn sat in line
And stuck to burn
She shines like a carnival
Swimming through my book of dreams
All I know is all you've learned
Is all I want to be
You're right I'm left You're right
In the morning goldfish dead in a bowl
Everybody is up on a pulpit all alone
This is your word of stone
Where were you when Rome was burning?
Who wants points well it's not worth it
I'm trying hard to answer the letter
Brazil
You got me where you want me
You got me where you want me
You got me where you want me
You got me where you want me
You got me where you want me
Whoooo
brazil... brazil...

repeat chorus
(Cameo... cameo)
There!
There you are!
There again...
Staring through the screen when the lights are dim
I wonder why you are there
Oh wait, I saw you again!
Your gossamer skin
I saw your cameo
There goes a shadow behind the scene
An ingenue phantom on the screen
I wonder why it is there
Oh wait, I saw you again!
Your gossamer skin
I saw your cameo
Out on the sidewalk I see your grin
The truth in your eyes is closing in
I wonder why she is there
Oh wait, I saw you again!
Your gossamer skin
I saw you again
Your gossamer skin
I saw you again
Your gossamer skin
Breathe in breathe out your contradictions
Breathe in breathe out your words of fiction
"Breathe in breathe out," you say, "but not on my time."
Says I, "Good bye to Grace."
Breathe in breathe out your pale addiction
Breathe in breathe out without conviction
"Breathe in breathe out," you say, "but not on my time."
Says I, "Goodbye to Grace."
Says the look on my face
Says I, "Goodbye to Grace, but not on my time."
Says I, "Goodbye to Grace."
We may never be something better
We may be down but we're not afraid
We may never be something better
We may be down but we're not afraid
Breathe in breathe out without permission
Breathe in breathe out your final mission
"Breathe in breathe out," you say, "but not on my time."
Says I, "Goodbye to Grace."
Says I, "Goodbye to Grace."
Says I, "Goodbye to Grace."
Says I, "Goodbye to Grace."
Say goodbye to Grace. Say goodbye to Grace.
Say goodbye to Grace. Say goodbye to Grace.
Say goodbye to Grace. Say goodbye to Grace.
Mr. Mercury, (U.S. patent No. 55453xx54), a cast iron steam machine,
Made the morning tea for the Admiral Gabardine
Went out on an errand, but came back too late
The runabout was idling behind the gate
Mr. Mercury, his dials and his springs
Set out for Mr. Quick (U.S. patent No. 353480723x0894)
By following the oil slick
Mr. Mercury, why did they all leave?
Could it be I wonder, a strange disease?
Because everybody's gone
The house is empty and the silence is killing me
The was overheard
And the city streets were dead
They heard a soft alarm
That was set by Mr. Arm (patent pending)
Mr. Mercury, why did they all leave?
Could they be, I wonder, all overseas?
'Cause everybody's gone
The town is empty and the silence is killing me
"Follow me.
I will take you to the admiral.
He will tell us what to do."
You can tank Smythe and Tinker for your curious demeanor.
(He is a patented Marvel, He is a patented Marvel)
They no longer linger, but he knows he'll be alright
Are you getting existential in your clockwork differential?
(He's a patented Mechanical Marvel!)
Our serial numbers are etched in ours thumbs.
Send someone who could us a good Automaton!
We are, we are, we are, we are alone
We are, we are, we are, we are alone
We are, we are, we are, we are alone
We are, we are, we are, we are alone
We are, we are, we are, we are alone
We are, we are, we are, we are alone
We are, we are, we are, we are alone
We are, we are, we are, we are alone
And so it was.
Mr. Mercury
There's not much use for us three
I'll turn your On switch Off
If you'll do the same for me
'Cause everybody's gone
"I'm thinking we're shrinking," said the lady to her darling.
"But the word is getting and my patience is getting thin.
I'm guessing it's pressing that we start progessing
Our ships are sinking so I would understand."
She indiscreetly mutters to herself
Where do we go?
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go?
Where do we go from a year in heaven?
"Chasing the rabbit was my habit," said the addict to the sidewalk
But he caught it with his wallet and the tracks upon his skin
And it follows that he swallowed the notion he was Apollo
But he lost it, exhausted, so he pushed the needle in
In the street he mutters to himself
Where do we go?
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go?
Where do we go from a year in heaven?
Where do we go from here?
Forsyth and Zebulon
Earhart and Komarov
Capucine and the cats that she left us
And all of the passengers on the Sultana
Were drinking their coffee and smoking havanas
"The Sky line is my line," said the rich man from his airplane
But he won't say that in his dreams that he crashes in the woods
In his sleep he mutter to himself
Where do we go?
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go?
Where do we go from a year in heaven?
Where do we go?
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go?
One time for me
Is too late for you
Their plastic gaze
Would melt for you
My passive face
Keeps me away
Cold, stark, and pale
Our sobriquet
Sending a wire transmission
Falling into submission
Are you real or are you a vain imagination
It's not for nothing
Breathe the air
Eye the eye
Reach out and grab the hand that beckons
The Great Divide
Is in our minds
You'll see some things are bound to happen
Drink the wine
Touch the ice
Enter the ruined and fallen city
Dead by design
Complete the line
I know some things are bound to happen
Send the match and send the flame
And send the heat
One more white the other dressed in red
One invincible and the other fell down and bled
One to touch your face the other to wipe the sweat
One to know your name and the other not just yet
One day calm broke the silence
I heard my voice in the audience
And it said, "Look at my face"
One day calm broke the silence
I wear my nerves on the outside
Hide them under, hide them under
Hide them under my
There's no one out there, I know
Her eyes were gleaming in I.O.
And I'm still breathing on my own
The thoughts are leaving one by one
One stood by while the other came and went
The other flew away so she couldn't fall out again
One to let you know the other to make you wait
Worlds across the fence and they're traveled every day
One day calm broke the silence
I heard my voice in the audience
And it said, "Look at my face"
One day calm broke the silence
I wear my nerves on the outside
Hide them under, hide them under
Hide them under my
One day calm broke the silence
I heard my voice in the audience
Hide them under, hide them under
One day calm broke the silence
I heard my voice in the audience
Hide them under, hide them under
One day calm broke the silence
I wear my nerves on the outside
Hide them under, hide them under
Hide them under my
There's no one out there, I know
Her eyes were gleaming in I.O.
And I'm still breathing on my own
Yesterday morning upon my waking
Inside my pocket, I found a calling card
It said in cursive "Meta-detective"
And had a number I didn't recognize
It rang all morning and in the evening
I heard an answer. It sounded like a sigh.
It was a woman on the receiver
(she was a breather)
I said i'd see her because you never know
She said she'd meet me under the marquee
Of a theater that was abandoned
She ran up to me and leaned in closely
Whispering softly, she told me how I would die
She spoke in cipher and coy conundrums
Her hair was like lightning and smelled like thunder
Ending our rendez-vous, she said "Rappelea-vous?"
And with a pirouette, she disappeared and I said,
"You never know"
I'll let you be my eyes if we fly
I'll let you be my eyes because I'm blind
Automation is a subtractive process
Do you remember it?
We had a data date
You tried to turn it back
Now you're a bit too late
Stand in the light again
Open your mouth speak
Give me a sign of life
Touch me
Make peace with your right brain
Sense of security
Logic cuts pure and deep
Logic all you need
A line dividing us
Cold stark reality
In logic you will find transformation
We have all the strengths of genius
And all the signs of weakness
You'd better go on believing
Interface cannot come between
Deep down I believe
My head is floating like a rock in a riverbed
Today, the Vapours came and took my mind away, like an angel.
I look in the mirror and say
"Does anyone ever feel like I do?
Does anybody ever feel this way?
I never know how to explain it to you
I still wonder if it's all inside my head?"
My hands are aching like they're wrapped around a gun
Today, the Vapours put a rope around my tongue
And now my hands write down on paper what I say
"Does anyone ever feel like I do?
Does anybody ever feel this way?
I never know how to explain it to you
I still wonder if it's all inside my head?"
...I can never seem to some the same familiar beating drum...
My head is floating like a rock in a riverbed
Today, the Vapours came and took my mind away, like an angel
I look in the mirror
"Does anyone ever feel like I do?
Does anybody ever feel this way?
I never know how to explain it to you
I still wonder if it's all inside my head?" [x2]
I dream of airplanes crashing
Solemn beginnings daily
Everyday I grow old
And am born again
Bath in light that starts to darken when I emerge
I dream of airplanes crashing
Solemn beginnings daily
Dissolution is change
I see tongues of fire upon our heads
Turn off the lights to see the next room
The constant
Save a match for me
Run with me into the flames
Save a match for me
Play the game with me tonight
Will november lose its meaning
When your fingers lose their feeling?
Today make it shatter like glass
Today makes tomorrow unbecoming
November is what can change me
There's a room inside my finger
Where ghosts of authors linger
There's a little man who whispers
In a radio transmitter
There's a lady on a spider
With a baby's head beside her
There's a voice inside my earlobe
From a place the sidewalks don't go
These are strange days!
There's a man with an umbrella
Who is smoking citronella
And he sees fantastic visions
Of a world outside my prison
There's a fountain full of ashes
And a snake beneath the grasses
And he's asking everybody
What makes them melancholy
These are strange days!
These days are strange!
These are strange days!
These days are strange!
My language is patois
Philosophy is in my boudoir
My head's in Constantinople
And my body's in a bubble
I'm a Rosicrucian Lackey
In the ministry of Peculiar Things
I will tell you my secret
But only if you keep it
These are strange days!
These days are strange!
These are strange days!
These days are strange!
But enough about me, why don't you tell me about your day?
But enough about me, why don't you tell me about your day?
But enough about me, why don't you tell me about your day?
But enough about me, why don't you tell me about your day?
But enough about me, why don't you tell me about your day?
But enough about me, why don't you tell me about your day?
But enough about me, why don't you tell me about your day?
But enough about me, why don't you tell me about your day?
But enough about me, why don't you tell me about your day?
But enough about me, why don't you tell me about your day?
But enough about me, why don't you tell me about your day?
But enough about me, why don't you tell me about your day?
But enough about me, why don't you tell me about your day?
But enough about me, why don't you tell me about your day?
But enough about me, why don't you tell me about your day?
But enough about me, why don't you tell me about your day?
But enough about me, why don't you tell me about your day?
But enough about me, why don't you tell me about your day?
Blue water
Runs deep
Blue water
Brings sleep
In the valley
Sleep comes easy
In the valley
There is no fear of sharks
And since the battle's end
The river flows red with blood
The shark has swam upstream
The shark bites everyone
And no one seems to notice
This gaping wound
At my side
The shark bites deep and red
The shark bites until you're dead
Voices carry
And I hear you
Watershed
Standing room
Curtain call
Pull it down
I don't want to
Have to need you
purse your lips until they're white
drag me kicking into night
didn't I want to be free
or do I want to be right
only you can deprogram
only you can understand
only you can take the blade
and cut [the gag] from my mouth
the dusty book on your endtable
taught you how to make a lethal
fragmentary detonator
from common household thoughts
you put a fistful of salt [in my eyes]
this is what it was like
my thoughts
my eyes
my face
my skin
my heart
my bones
are slowly
Take a breath
Random streaks of light prevade
The petrol perfume that I breathe
Taken at the witching hour
Missle launch and fuselage
Rivets from a row of eyes
Factory glass state of mind
Glare
Thus matching begets machine
1 is 10 is 423
Affectionate utility
The death of time
Replaces the need
For age
I think I tried to steal a kiss
Amind hollow shriek and hiss
Building's blacker then the sea
The sky a wash of acid pain's
Gray
The air is thick and oil slick
The architecture breathes anf it's breath
Soon I'll not want to go away
Black and silver
Soot stained eyes see fire and steel
How can I tell if it's for real?
I think sometimes today
I'll rescue you away
Andromeda can wait
Je suis desole
Nirvana encoded in concrete
My life is daigonal lines
A satellite leaving earth behind
To outer space
Without any tether
I see the sun
But i'm getting frostbike
Drifting past the empty vast
And my head is getting light
Gravity keeps pulling me downward
Radio radio radio
Give my best regards
In this world of brokwn dreams
And broken voices
Keep singing to be free
It's all behind my eyes
To find a way
To get away
From my own demise
My truth in an age of question
You can tell my father
The very least I tried
It's been a long long trip now
Comming from the other side
We are born
from one institution
into another
falling asleep
listening to the poetry
of steel
and we are chained
arm to arm
pulling each other down
the irony of quitting time
can you really stop?
inhale deeply because it's your last breath
so enjoy what's left
and we are chained
arm to arm
pulling each other
seasons change
from green to red
seasons change
Your sky falls forever
A black heart endeavor
The game of laissez-faire
Aces in the air
Your eyes stare forever
In the cold dry hereafter
Hiding an affair
I swore was never there
It's over and under and over and under
In the city that never sleeps
You're the creature that never wakes
I thought you were someone else
Scent of attraction
Lean in to listen
"Resurrect the dead on Jupiter" she said
Time's game is wasting
Worldwide lambasting
A billion miles away
A deadly bird of prey
Flies over and under and over
Force fed everytime
My tongue everytime
J'ai une ame solitaire
Feels the same
Can you not see it?
Our lips are trailing poison
The feeling will last forever
The fighting is over
Won without a sound
Alone in a white room
Alone with no one
Exstacy
Constancy
Rapidly
One, Two, Three
And if I get the chance
To lead one sheep astray
I'll pull the rope with bleeding teeth
There's something in his eyes
An angel can't tell lies
The war torn streets of Paradise
How hard the code to break
Depends on what's at stake
It's a story about
A street named “Decision”
Lays open the skin
With it's painful incision
Erasure
It's time to rest
Erase your
Complicated mess
A sharp dressed narcotic
That drips dark red
Keeps you smiling
When you say it's ok
It's breaking me
With breathtaking ease
Erasure
Rub me out
Erase your
Panic anxiety
Truth be told
I never liked her around
But she kept coming around between us
I can hear you
Pioneer you
Whisper near you
Fire and virtue
Got to keep a light burning all day
Whatever
Happened to
Old-fashioned
Face value
Straight talking
Went out with
June brides and fashion queens
It's a story about a street named “Decision”
Lays open the skin with it's painful incision
Your words are guns
Watch me and stay close beside
So helplessly waiting close my eyes
And hold me now because it's after me
Just waiting for my last breath
Vague distant holes in my history
The nightside I'm drifting so far away
The words that I'm speaking come haltingly
The air that I'm breathing taste sulfuric
Deep inside me
Deep inside my fortress
Feeling is lost with my memory
I'll work my way back to what it means
It's far to late to trace my steps back again
The thoughts petrifying me because
The spider man is after me
Fading hoping of familiar recognition
I built a castle made of arms cross and breathless
Watch me turn things around
Turn them on their head
This nightside where I'm drifting
This place is a lie I'm believing
To live with myself
To ease the strain
Release the brain
It's all I want
Run run away
And don't remain
Running on the data track
And don't look back
Surprise attack
Conscience tells me I am right
Burning lungs, suffocate
Scream with every breath I take
Wondering, 1-2-3
Will I ever see my...
Run away, run so far away
The monolith stands in a darkening shadow
If I should die before I wake
Never see the shores
With foreign waves
Memory fades to black
Under crushing marble slab cool me off
Rinse me clean
Let me please come with you
Porcelain ivory
Look at you now look at me
Run away, run so far away
The monolith is beckoning every day
Awake
Dreaming
Solemn revery
Too lost
Secret
Link in a broken chain
Eyes are open
Only they don't see
Colour, shape, and terminal velocity
Run away when I feel danger
Danger hides in every stranger
Stranger things haves happened
So I feel like being stranger, laughing
All is lost
And all is lost on me
(L)orazepam
Says it will set me free
No cold
No heat
Feeling has passed through me
Give me one thing
Escape is all I need
Breathing down my neck you see
Is someone else's destiny
It makes no difference to pretend
So give me all my garmonbozia
Pain and suffering
The right make a world of your own
Is it called a crime if I play with time?
All the shame it brings, it changes everything! (x2)
Time delay
Synchrionicity
Is all in disarray
From another tear under my duvet
It's antique and smells like Chantilly
The other day it took me far away
When we were young and so risque
You said to stay but I disobeyed
Now I've erased the mistake!
Is it called a crime if I play with time?
All the shame it brings, it changes everything!
Long ago
Someone that I know
Took all the torment I could throw
How would I know I couldn't let it go
Without a dose of a-d-o
And although it's been a year or so
I think I will never outgrow
I'm laying low, so in reverse I go
Because she's the one that I owe
Is it called a crime if I play with time?
All the shame it brings, it changes everything! (x2)
I have gone awry
Trying to defy the laws of time where they apply
And so I sigh that I am high and dry
It really took me by surprise
It caught my eye, I had to say good-bye
It seems I've lost my paradigm
And I could die, because I don't know why
But I forget the name I go by
Is it called a crime if I play with time?
All the shame it brings, it changes everything! (x2)
Underwater in a submarine
He smokes a cigarette and blows the steam
He navigates though the deep blue sea
All by his lonesome, no company
Mainwaring in his submarine
Rescued a lady from a sinking ship
Then let her go on an iceberg tip
Ferried a family from an island head
Brought them to cannibals on a beach instead
Mainwaring in his submarine
His eyes are hollow just like his cheeks
His faded uniform not washed in weeks
He had a daughter to call his own
Poseidon's water took her long ago
Mainwaring in his submarine
Out the portal late at night
A sailor might see a watery light
And if he sees it, he'll let it be
It's the lonely Captain in his submarine
Mainwaring, where's your queen?
Mainwaring, where's your queen?
Mass of rain scaling skyscrapers.
Point only to failed ambitions.
Alone in the city of millions he walks on the left.
Against the open floor of human traffic,
Hourly inflicting and literally pulling.
Wanting to connect to the source.
Hes too afraid to ask so he walks alone.
Hes the monolith.
Like limbs of a dismembered poet rippling vains of lengthy full scars.
Yet just above the internal wounds that never seem too mit completely,
A world of great matter house a city he calls his own.
Standing on a ledge he surveys the land between his feet and the horizon.
Seeking projectile eyes burnt in a flame retile dress of the mob.
The lithium change seems to sting his tongue.
He's the monolith.
(HES THE MONOLITH!)
Chorus:
They will break they will burn far,
It feels so missed.
It feels so missed.
Hey, they say you died in your sleep
From a poison vapour leak
In 1917
You were only 23
And the time I saw you last
Was in a piece of broken glass
When you moved across the room
And I smelled your cheap perfume
Late, the candles cast long shadows
No matter where you are
Shiver! In the apartment where I live
And the death that you relive
Is too close to my bed
And it replays in my head
You are the ghost in the machine
You are the ghost in my routine
And I find you quite obscene
'Cause the way that you make me fiend
Late, the candles cast long shadows
No matter where you are
The candles cast long shadows
I, I don't know what to do
'Cause your body, I see through
Though I could not see your face
Though I saw your breath on the mirror
And there's one thing that you should know
That's that I fell for you long ago
And everything that I do
It begins and ends with you
Late, the candles cast long shadows
No matter where you are
The candles cast long shadows
