There's a story to tell about mister Jones he rides adventure into the night
Not a man of iron but a man with goals he opens dreams to let in light
Breaking into silent tombs to steal the only key
Tries to find the hidden prize set the secrets free
Watching prying waiting lying in these hollow lives they're dying
Upon the tomb it's written here lies the ark
Screaming praying dreaming baying there destiny we're laying
Upon the tomb it's written here lies the ark
To struggle long and find the mark Indiana races to the scene
To find the map and find the ark he has to cross into the dream
Breaking into silent tombs to steal the only key
Tries to find the hidden prize set the secrets free
Breaking into silent tombs to steal the only key
Tries to find the hidden prize set the secrets free
Watching prying waiting lying in these hollow lives they're dying
Upon the tomb it's written here lies the ark
Screaming praying dreaming baying there destiny we're laying
Upon the tomb it's written here lies the ark
Watching prying waiting lying in these hollow lives they're dying
Upon the tomb it's written here lies the ark
Screaming praying dreaming baying there destiny we're laying

I've been drinking indifferently
I've been fucking indifferently
I was drunk like a death on the average
And as usually I escaped the scythe
I've been
Down indifferently
And like an average nitwit
I've been
Dreaming about comeback
Beat the drum, you morons !!!
We carry the villainy
Like they carry the Ark...
But our procession is dark
I am closed between rubber walls
In the crowd of rubber freaks
They have pumped a superbalm
In my delicate pipes
And the crowd of the freaks is rockin'
They have short and very weak tails
Freaks are ashamed of Comodo Snakes
They will jump through the bars of the cage
Beat the drum, you morons !!!
We carry the villainy
Like they carry the Ark...
But our procession is dark
Beat the drum, you morons !!!
We carry the villainy
Like they carry the Ark...

See the dark night has come down on us
The world is livin? in its dream
But now we know that we can wake up from this sleep
And set out on the journey
Find a ship to take us on the way
The time has come to trust that guiding light
And leavin? all the rest behind
We?ll take the road that leads down to the waterside
And set out on the journey
Find a ship to take us on the way
And we?ll sail out on the water
Yes, we?ll feel the sea grow
Yes, we?ll meet out on the water
Where all strangers are known
If you travel blindly, if you fall
The truth is there to set you free
And when your heart can see just one thing in this life
We?ll set out on the journey
Find a ship to take us on the way
And we?ll sail out on the water
Yes, we?ll feel the sea grow
Yes, we?ll meet out on the water
Where all strangers are known
See the dark night has come down on us
The world is livin? in its dream
But now we know that we can wake up from this sleep
And set out on the journey
Find a ship to take us on the way
And we?ll sail out on the water
Yes, we?ll feel the sea grow
Yes, we?ll meet out on the water

God, He called for rain
So I built an ark but no rain came
I was ashamed
Man, he called for war
So I built a gun and I joined the corps
But I wasn't sure
Love, she asked for more
But what I gave only made her poor
I wasn't sure
The dove, she promised land
As she laid the branch right into my
There was no land
What does it mean to be here?
Well, I know because I can and I will
Yes, I know because I can and I will
What does it mean to be here?
Well, I know because I can and I will
What does it mean to be here?
Well, I know because I can and I will

We fly at light speed into the universe
The Earth is so far, our homes are empty
We break through the silence cradling the galaxy
Sailing this ocean of stars and planets
Searching for a land to claim
For a place we can call home once more, maybe
In this never-ending night every time we spot a light
We hold our breath in silence
Roaming in space
If There's a home we will find it
Calling from space
We're here, can't you see?
And while our small lives sturggle with our fears
We face the deep space, we hear it's calling
It calls for a new hope, hope for a future
Into this darkness we follow a bright light
It's the light of our hope
Guiding us in search for home, we will find it
In this never-endintg night every time we spot a light
We hold our breathe in silence
Roaming in space
If There's a home we will find it
Calling from space
We're here, can't you see?
[Such a long way, such a long time. Even if we knew it
since the
very beginning, being lost in space for all these years
is a hard
thing mining our sanity. We almost lost the hope and
all this
silence is giving me strange feelings; sometimes, when
I close
myself into my room trying to fall asleep. I think
about Ulysses and
his never ending trip on the way back home... cometimes
I even
seem to hear voices calling me from out there, just
like mermaids

Look, the ark, it is bearing down
And you are staring down
The wind and the sea
And hoping perhaps
With the waters going back
That a new day will have dawned
But see, the ark, it is resting now
High on Mount Ararat
Starting again
And the cargo that it brought
Is leaping from the hold
Looking for the chaos that it sought
The ark, the ark, it is giving forth
You might say it is giving birth
To the children of man
But who is this?
Staring at the sunshine?
Drying socks, laughing, shoving, crying?
Not you, not me my friend
Are not these the men of the iron mountain?
Were not these the leaders of the fighting?
Ah now, you see my friend . . . . .
Polish up your helmets, lads, we're going on parade
We praise our God for sparing us to fight another day
We'll sing his song in unison, we'll sing in harmony
We'll stamp out insurrection, wherever it may be
So bring on the rain
And the lightning from the sky
And let us hope again

I'm afraid, embarassed to
I have never seen anything like you
My God, you're great, greater than I'd expect
And the night is silver round your neck
and the night is silver round your neck
Men high and low sing hymns to you
Your sons and daughters do what you want them to
I wanna wear your love like a laurel wreath
And the night turns silver when you breathe
and the night turns silver when you breathe
Oh, I'm out of time, you bring me down
You leave me naked standing out of line
'Cos you're a soul on an endless trek
And the night is silver round your neck
and the night is silver round your neck
And the night is silver round your neck x2

Whatever happened to the funky race?
A generation lost in pace
Wasn't life supposed to be more than this?
In this kiss I'll change your bore for my bliss
But let go of my hand and it will slip on the sand
If you don't give me the chance
to break down the walls of attitude
I ask nothing of you
not even your gratitude
And if you think I'm corny
then it will not make me sorry
It's your right to laugh at me
and in turn that's my oppurtunity
to feel brave
Because ridicule is no shame
Oh, it's just a way to eclipse hate
It's just a way to put my back straight
Oh, it's just a way to remain sane
Every morning I would see her getting off the bus
The picture never drops, it's like a multicoloured snapshot
stuck in my brain
It kept me sane for a couple of years
as it drenched my fears
of becoming like the others
who become unhappy mothers
and fathers of unhappy kids
and why is that?
'Cos they've forgotten how to play
Oh, maybe they're afraid to feel ashamed
to seem strange, to seem insane
to gain weight, to seem gay
I tell you this
That it takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, it takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, it takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, in this world all covered up in shame
(Oh, take it to the stage)
So, take it to the stage in a multicoloured jacket
Take it jackpot, crackpot, strutting like a peacock
Nailvarnish Arkansas, shimmy-shammy featherboah
Crackpot, haircut, dye your hair in glowing red and blue
Do, do, do what you wanna do
Don't think twice, do what you have to do
Do, do, do, do, let your heart decide
what you have to do
That's all there is to find
'Cos it takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, it takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, in this world all covered up in shame
Oh, it takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, it takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, it takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, in this world all covered up in shame
Oh, it takes a fool
(It takes a fool to remain sane)...

Hey modern days, here we come
But our feet are swollen and we got no place to stay
But we hope it would still be okay
'cos we brought champagne
and we thought that there must be sleeping bags
(in this very modern day)
But we're all very proud to be here today
The first of a thousand million modern days
'Cos it's a scam, it's a royal kind of wham-bam figure
It's abrieved in the sense of being up-john and senseless
It's a see-saw sickness, it's a snake-bite, low-chant jive
on the century's crime
Well, it's a scam, it's a royal kind of wham-bam figure
It's abrieved in the sense of being up-john and senseless
It's a see-saw sickness, it's a snake-bite, low-chant jive
on the century's crime
Hey modern days, we're taken a-back
We're a flame and a-gog, aloof and inhaled
with a don-don briefcase, oh, wait for our call
And I therefore shall declare
that the stores shall be locked no more
(no more), no more, (no more)
Why shall men suffer, why shall there be freaks?
Why am I still rehearsing a song when I oughta sleep?
'Cos it's a scam, it's a royal kind of wham-bam figure
It's abrieved in the sense of being up-john and senseless
It's a see-saw sickness, it's a snake-bite, low-chant jive
on the century's crime
Well, it's a scam, it's a royal kind of wham-bam figure
It's abrieved in the sense of being up-john and senseless
It's a see-saw sickness, it's a snake-bite, low-chant jive
on the century's crime
Oh, chin-batty dour face, why did you go there?
Sitting on a cold stone, waiting for the train home
Hoping it would carry me home
hoping it would carry me home
Well, it's a scam, it's a royal kind of wham-bam figure
It's abrieved in the sense of being up-john and senseless
It's a see-saw sickness, it's a snake-bite, low-chant jive
on the century's crime
It's a scam, it's a royal kind of wham-bam figure
It's abrieved in the sense of being up-john and senseless
It's a see-saw sickness, it's a snake-bite, low-chant jive
on the century's crime
...
Chin-batty dour face, why did you go there?
Sitting on a cold stone, waiting for the train home
Hoping that the wind blows in the right direction
Hoping someone [?] offering protection
Chin-batty dour face, why did you go there?
Sitting on a cold stone, waiting for the train home
Hoping that the wind blows in the right direction
Hoping someone [?] offering erection

(Echo, echo, echo, echo
echo, echo, echo, echo)
(Echo, echo, echo, echo)
No
Have you heard the word no, no, no?
I thought so
'cos everybody says yes
everywhere you go
You know
If you always must know what's right
you will end up
You will end up among the ones
who always are wrong
Remember a star that shone so bright
but now his glare fills me with fright
And now I actually fear
that something's gone wrong with your ears
I'm singing
Step out, step out of your echo chamber
Step out, step out of your echo chamber
Before it is too late (late)
Before it is too late (late)
Before it is too late
'cos I miss you so
(Echo, echo, echo, echo)
You
You always stayed among the ones
Not so strong
Too eager to belong
to object when you were wrong
When
When will you ever get sick of
listening to repeats
of what you have said?
You better listen instead
to folks who think with their own head
I never want to be your foe
I just wanna say I miss you so
How long will you stay in there?
I just wish that you could hear me singing
Step out, step out of your echo chamber
Step out, step out of your echo chamber
Before it is too late (late)
Before it is too late (late)
Before it is too late
'cos I miss you so
(Step out, step out of your) echo chamber
Oh, step out, step out of your echo chamber
Step out (step out)
before you go crazy
x2
Before it is too late (late)
Before it is too late (late)
Before it is too late
'cos I miss you so
(Echo, echo, echo, echo

I don't believe in angels
Well, at least not in yours
But I believe in the sensation
of holding you close
And I don't believe in exile
Well, at least not how you practise it
But I'm willing to regret
all the travels I made
all the triumphs in my book
'cos I'm afraid that they took me away from you
So don't be upset
'cos your bottleneck barbiturate
ain't helping you out
It wasn't meant to be a hole in the ground
Don't make me wait
'cos your bottleneck barbiturate
is letting you down
'Cos I know other ways of getting around
the lonely hour
Oh, I'm the one who used to tell you
oh, that something is for free
And that being lonely
doesn't have to be a drag (what a gag)
Now if I was to envy you
you know it wouldn't be for real
No, just a way to steal
Or can it be so
that we've made it on our own?
I don't know, but these walls seems to tell me it ain't so
So don't be upset
'cos your bottleneck barbiturate
ain't helping you out
It wasn't meant to be a hole in the ground
Don't make me wait
'cos your bottleneck barbiturate
is letting you down
'Cos i know other ways of getting around
the lonely hour, hour, hour
Oh, don't make me wait
'cos your bottleneck barbiturate
is letting you down
It wasn't meant to be a hole in the ground
Oh, don't make me wait
'cos your bottleneck barbiturate
is letting you down
'Cos I know better ways of getting around
the lonely hour
Don't make me wait x3

With a yawn
the peaceful city goes to sleep
It's long till dawn
cries a siren in the street
'Cos the night
is where the young, bold lovers rule
A reign of spite
daytime they're hidden in the clouds
Click, clack, cluck
Oh, when their feet clack to the ground
Click, clack, cluck
Oh, it makes a joyful sound
'Cos the air is clean
where the danger's always near
It's easily seen
they're unfamiliar with fear
'Cos boys wanna know what makes men crawl
what makes empires fall
Wanna hear and see it all
'cos it seems to us a mystic and unbelievable
Don L. Lee
and the sisters of the night
Yours for free
if you dare to take a bite
'Cos love is cheap
and nutritious in the streets
We hide and seek
it's easy not to fall asleep
'Cause boys wanna know what makes men crawl
what makes empires fall
Wanna hear and see it all
'cos it seems to us a mystic and unbelievable
Lofty hills of laughs we climb
sugary spices wait outside
Time is on our side
and we have everything to gain
But if you hear the mountains swing
if you hear the angels roar
Let me know, I'll play the chord
There's a goal in our flow
that would make a strong man bow
Oh!
Oh, it's a marvel to be seen
how it flows
in chryzantemummy green
But some do scorn
hearing the fleshy engines roar
Afraid to show
where their angelheads do grow
Ah hoo
I wanna hear and see it all
'cos it seems to us a mystic and unbelievable
Yeah, yeah, ooh yeah
Oh
la la la...
Mystic and unbelievable

I'm dangerous
'cos I'm ridiculous
And it seems to me
that I'm a threat to the
whole society
'Cos I ain't got no dignity
so if you want respect from me
Well, have it for free
it's worth nothing to me
and in your eyes I see
it's something else you seek
It's fear that you wanna see
But I ain't too proud to bow
I ain't too proud to kneel
I ain't too proud for any gesture
that is meaningless to me
I ain't too proud to beg
I ain't too proud to run
'cos I don't want respect
I'd much rather have fun
If you think you're tough
when you're laughing at us
Well, it's no big buzz
you can laugh if you must
'cos me and my friends
like the way that we look
and that's enough for us
And we don't want no fuss
but if you'd like to stay
then to me it's okay
and I don't say there's anything
wrong with your head
Just wish you'd try to
think for yourself instead
'Cos I ain't too proud to bow
I ain't too proud to kneel
I ain't too proud for any gesture
that is meaningless to me
I ain't too proud to beg
I ain't too proud to run
'cos I don't want respect
I'd much rather have fun
Aah
So it's fear you wanna see
But I ain't too proud to bow
I ain't too proud to kneel
I ain't too proud for any gesture
that is meaningless to me
I ain't too proud to beg
I ain't too proud to run
'cos I don't want respect
I'd much rather have fun
Ola la la
Ain't too proud to bow
ain't too proud to beg
x2
Ooh, I ain't too proud to bow
I ain't too proud to kneel
I ain't too proud for any gesture
that is meaningless to me
I ain't too proud to beg
I ain't too proud to run
'cos I don't want respect
I'd much rather have fun

I've got sunshine in the palms of my hands
Generating slowly
into somekind of a wave of a trance
Oh, I'm reacting madly
If I was home
I wouldn't be late to tell you
'Cos sure I would like to burn
but if I'm gonna burn
Oh, then it must be fire
Oh, but now it burns, burns, burns, burns
So it must be fire
but tell me love
ain't this desire
I can't tell love from desire
but it sure feels good
Must be something in the air that I breathe
Oh, that affects me wildly
And to put it as it makes my blood seethe
is to express it mildly
Oh no, oh no
I wouldn't dream of dreaming that dream
'Cos sure I would like to burn
but if I'm gonna burn
Oh, then it must be fire
Oh, but now it burns, burns, burns, burns
So it must be fire
but tell me love
ain't this desire
I can't tell love from desire
but it sure feels good
Oh, sure I would like to burn
but if I'm gonna burn
Oh, then it must be fire
Oh, but now it burns, burns, burns, burns
So it must be fire
but tell me love
ain't this desire
I can't tell love from desire
but it sure feels good

I was born to start a revolution
It would be my contribution
to a worldwide resurrection
I was born to start a million fires
The joy of men's desires
was laid in my hand
But I was born a weak and worried thinker
with an eagerness to know myself
that throws it all away
'Cos all I can think of is
love and Saturday
and how the golden road can seize to glare
Oh, man
What if I just don't gave a damn?
How wonderful
But after all the worst can't be that bad
Oh, man
What if I knew how to say
"Stop
no, let go"?
Oh, the angelheaded demon's-tongue
who thought he knew
why some mirrors crack so easily
Oh, now he ain't got a clue
And every now and then
it seems to me it's come to this
that promises and prophecies
was all I had to give
'Cos all I can think of is
love and Saturday
and how the golden road can seize to glare
Oh, man
What if I just don't gave a damn?
How wonderful
Hut after all the worst can't be that bad
Oh, man
What if I knew how to say
"Stop
no, let go"?
Oh, love
The worst can't be that bad
Oh, love
Saturday, and how the golden road can seize to glare
Oh, man
What if I just don't gave a damn?
How wonderful
But after all the worst can't be that bad
Oh, man
Seems like a joy surrender
Love

You, who stole my solitude
and expelled me into this mood
Who permitted you to intrude
so unelegant and rude?
You, who haunt me all day long
Who make me write this song
of how you've done me wrong
You, who stole my solitude
The most precious thing I owned
I never will forgive you
You, who barricade my streets
Who leave me no retreat
Who haunt me in my sleep
and bitter what I eat
You, say, what did you expect?
For a person who's infected
my association paths
(Did you expect a lovesong?)
You, who stole my solitude
The most precious thing I owned
I never will forgive you

Words
come to me so easily
They make me forget what I mean
They seem so very unsound
when I don't want them around
Let your body decide where you want to go
Let your body decide where you want to go
high or low, fast or slow
x4
I don't know if I'm ready
but everything must be unsteady
on the first go-round
Thoughts
Is it right to feel this way?
Will I be happy one day?
Is my posture okay?
Am I straight or gay?
Let your body decide where you want to go
Let your body decide where you want to go
high or low, fast or slow
x4
I don't know if I'm ready
but everything must be unsteady
on the first go-round
First go-round x6

It took time, took time to develop a concept
A new me
based upon the traits from which I could not flee
It took time, took time to embrace the nature
All my dreams
All this time just turned into a sad long wait
This sad long tale of moments passé
must come to an end before it is too late
Wasn't born to hate, I was made to love
but I never knew it was so hard
It took time, took time to accept the fact
that one must lose
everything except what you do not choose
It's taken time, long time and yet more time
it will take
before my heart is free and brave enough to break
This sad long tale of moments passé
must come to an end before it is too late
Wasn't born to hate, I was made to love
but I never knew it was so hard
This sad bouquet of forget-me-not
that I threw away is growing scars and dots
In this weary heart where there's a bird, so shy
but one of these days that bird will learn to fly
