[rev. Mar. 24, 2023]
When the sea is boiling
And the earth recoiling
Kundalini coiling
Rushing like a current up your spine
And you know these days are strange
And that something had to change
Something always out of reach
Something no one else could find
When the weather darkens
And still no one hearkens
Strange time
Strange land
Your ascension is assured
Your ascension, your reward
Your ascension is assured
Your ascension, your reward
Your ascension is assured
Your ascension, your reward
And the universe changed its mind
And you don't want what you can't find
And you say I saw the sign
It's a sign for the blind
Into your heaven
I want to get even
Into your heaven
I want to get even
When the weather darkens (when the weather darkens)
And still no one hearkens
Struggle with my thoughts
In a dream, in a room
In a song, in a paper
In an article you read in The Age
Since I failed ya
Since I failed ya
Your ascension is assured
Your ascension, your reward
Your ascension is assured
Your attention, more and more
Your attention, a little more
Your attention, more and more
Ok
Ok
More and more

Hey they say, c'est la vie
Here comes the future according to me
On no they go how can this be
I won't fuck with that so good luck with that
Watch out tiger you're on the skids
Falling out of favour with the kids
You couldn't do what Joe Public did
You couldn't change her, you just estranged her
Oh yeah, you're so good
Fizzle and the drizzle, walk through the wood
Oh yeah, you're so bad
You blew that bonanza with the chances that you had
What if I told you
What if I told you it was true
What if I told you
What if I told you it was you
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
This could be better
Ooh-ooh-ooh
This could be better than you think
What if I told you (what if I told you)
What if I told you it was true
What if I told you (what if I told you)
What if I told you it was you
Ahhh
What if I told you (what if I told you)
What if I told you it was true
What if I told you (what if I told you)
What if I told you it was you
Hey they say (hey they say)
C'est la vie
Hey they say, hey they say (hey they say)
C'est la vie (c'est la vie)
Hey they say
Here comes the future (hey they say)
According to me (c'est la vie)
Hey they say
Oh no they go (hey they say)
How can this be (c'est la vie)
Hey they say
I wouldn't fuck with that (hey they say)
So good luck with that
C'est la vie
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
I think I knew what you wanted
Nothing made sense to me anymore
I think I knew what this machine has done to you
It's playing that song I adored
Hey
Can you help me to see
Well ok
Nevermind
I think I knew what you wanted
You find a way to turn this all off
I think I knew how one and one and one make two
It's playing my song too softly
I think I knew what you wanted
I think I better think it through
I think I knew where it all was leading to
Just playing my song just for you
Hey
Can you help me to see
Hey
Nevermind
Hey
Can you help me to see
Well ok
Nevermind
A vision of you
So water clear
A thought of it pursuing me
All through these years
Just one click
She disappeared
Maybe you're just being a baby
Walk on through the darkness
Walk on through the storms
Walk on through the roses and the bricks
And walk on through
An image of you
So damn indelible
Haunting me always
Oh so incredible
So tangible
It's almost edible
Maybe you're just being a baby
Walk on through the thunder
Walk on through the rain
Walk on through the brambles and the briars
And walk on through
You got the rest of me
You wanted none of it
You got the best of me
I wanted all of it
[rev. Mar. 24, 2023]
When you wanted it
I was there
When you first went in
No one twisted your arm
When you tasted it like
You've been tasting it your whole life
'Cause you went under
Into unknown
Remember the music
Pulled out of your head
Piano trickery
Into the cans
Insulating guitars
Reptilian bass
Kick in your face
The sear in your heart
You won't get something
Did you make a reservation
You won't get something out of me
For tonight
You won't get something ??? [1:43]
I got no reservation
You won't get something out of me
For tonight
Losing strings in the garden
You finger the cymbals
Gawk at machine heads
Cast off your accounts
Suddenly we had too much
The organs were swelling
The moonbeams were burning
The arrows did fall
Then like the tide went out
The ensemble were dying
A quick end in flourish
But that's another story
Well I got a jet
It's already late
It's already too soon
I'm ready to jam
Your tranquil apartment
The ambient music
Music for love time
Incandescent in [3:52] song
Now I stand empty-handed
At the threshold of silence
The end of performance
The end of a life
You won't get something out of me
Did you make a reservation
You won't get something ??? [4:18]
For tonight
You won't get something out of me
I got no reservation
You won't get something out of life
Pretty as sin
The evening begin
Think I'm going back to sleep now
The greediest wish
The tastiest dish
Delicious encounter queued us all around
Now I want this forever
Everyone must want something
Everyone must want something
Somewhere you cannot go
The luckiest shot
The suckiest plot
Hot nights in the port I caught you briefly
You were such a good sport
You said I want this forever
Everyone must want something
Forever
Everyone must want something
Somewhere you cannot go
Everyone must want something
Forever
Forever
Everyone must want
Forever
Ever
Something
Everyone must want something

If you want to see the future that's ok
If you buy all of the sky I'd say
Come back another day
If you wanna see your nature that's too bad
If you bleed and so you'll see
When you gave your notice
I was laughing in my office
The offers pouring in
And exploring all the offers all the way
And I wanna send a shout-out to all the ladies
I'm saying Eden it's coming back soon
As she walk through the dawn and the myth and the moon
Ecce to picae [1:31]
If you want to see the future that's ok
If you buy all of the sky I'd say
Come back another day
John the Baptist dressed in white
Mack the Knife dressed in black
I'm going down, lost in the town, I won't be back
Where have you been all day
Elysian Fields where we shapes take wing
What have you done all day
Written on the wind, sparkled in the sea spray/script
In the light of the morning
The cold and the grey
And I wanna send a shout-out to all the ladies
Bathing in the Tigris and the Euphrates
I'm saying Eden it's coming back soon
With new improved features and the garden all in bloom
As she walk through the dawn and the myth and the moon
Her teeth are chattering
Her feet are aching to be kissed
A warm afternoon
And I'll be there so soon with you
Let us out a day
I'll find a way to break through
Running on a spot in the aerodrome
Journey so hot all the way home
I hate feeling this alone
They're gonna fade it
They're gonna fade it
You're gonna hate it
I wish I never said it
I wish I never read it
I wish I never bought it
I wish I never thought it at all
The jungle all crushed by a monsoon
Journey all rushed on a ??? [1:55] moon
I hate feeling this alone
They're gonna fade it
They're gonna fade it
You're gonna hate it
They're gonna fade it
They're gonna fade it
You're gonna hate it
Hidden costs of living
Now I'm giving this life
A burden of a Boomer
Now the rumours are rife
The echoes snatched away by the whispering wind
The serpent is hatched
New world begins
I hate feeling this alone
Ahh-ahh-ahh
Ahh-ahh-ahh
I hate feeling this alone
Ahh-ahh-ahh
Gonna feel so alone now
Ahh-ahh-ahh
I hate feeling this alone
Ahh-ahh-ahh
Gonna walk it away
Ahh-ahh-ahh
Hey
Ahh-ahh-ahh
Gonna live down by the sea
Ahh-ahh-ahh
If anybody lookin' for me
Ahh-ahh-ahh
I'm gonna be safe, I'm gonna be free
Wallpaper like your favourite cafe
The paper flowers in the kitchen
Aeromatic pines, rambling vines
Fill up all of your days
Gardens on rooftops in the city
Speedboats moored up to the jetty
The Biblical palms, the loveliest psalms
Take up all of your days
And it happened again
And it happened again
Rusting steel chassis of a stripped down car
Spirit and it's a signal near and far
The beckoning hand
The welcoming land
Fill up all of your days
Fill up all of your days
The flying and the fallen
Finding yourself in a venomous heart
Three-thirty and you knock off early
Four-o'clock you're ready to stop
You can smell the future
As it happens again
You can smell the future
As it happens again
You can smell the future
As it happens again
You can smell the future

Sun Kim Jong
Well she got in my song
Running ahead in my head
Sun comes along
Nothing can go wrong for her
She's laughing out loud
She's making me proud
And justice is hidden
Then love comes unbidden
I'm kidding
There's no other you
There's no other you
Sun Kim Jong
I feel you belong
Blessed sister
Double happiness
Sun comes along
Mute sings a swan song
She's running amok like fuck
When the spell is broken
Then love is awoken
I'm joking
There's no other you
There's no other you
(No other you
There's no other you)
(I wanted to take this opportunity to move on together
Stop
Stop
You make a ??? [0:40]
Stop)
Who imagined you
The nuts and the bolts
The end of the night
Charging me up like 1,000 volts
Drop me a line
'Cause I synced and I'm hooked
And turn on a light
I'm checking it out and this place is booked
The feeling peeled away
The ceiling flaking down
The hotels are all empty
So I'm kneeling on the ground
(I'm kneeling on the ground)
Who imagined you
The veins and the blurs
The start of the race
Trashing my ski, crashing your curve
Drop me a line
Line up for the queue
Excuse me user
I'm wondering who on Earth imagined you
The feeling peeled away
The ceiling flaking down
The hotels are all empty
So I'm kneeling on the ground
(I'm kneeling on the ground)
I am the voice in another room
Entombed in the depth above your heart
Voice from a gloomy future
Voice from a gloomy past
The hotels are all empty
The feeling peeled away
[faint, mostly unintelligible words in background from 5:04 to end]
I am the voice in another room
Entombed in the depth above your heart
Voice from a gloomy future
Voice from a gloomy past
Voice from a gloomy future
Voice from a gloomy past
Voice from a gloomy future
Voice from a gloomy past

Antarctica
I hear you calling me all through the night
Antarctica
I feel you holding me so cold and white
Antarctica
I feel you watching me and take a big bite
Antarctica
I hear you calling me all through the night
I'm coming on board
I feel your hand on my shoulder
I'm coming on board
I feel your hand on my shoulder
Antarctica
Well I've been calling for days
Antarctica
I've been freezing today
Antarctica
Yeah you've been under my gaze
Antarctica
Well I've been calling for days
Well I was out there
(Yes, yes)
Well I was out there
(Yes, go on)
Well I was out there that day
(Yes, yes)
Well I was out there that day
(Go on, go on)
Oh no I can't go on
(Yes, yes, go on)
Oh no I can't go on
(Yes, yes)
Oh no
Oh no
Down on the cold side of town
(You take the easy way down)
The fisherman in the shack
(Water so cold and so black)
The scientist in the graveyard
(Sea lion marching up the boulevard)
Doctor and his wife who ran away
They don't care
The walrus and the carpenter
They don't care
[rev. Sept. 30, 2023]
I'm sorry I was miles away
A black cloud left me here
With a lack of remorse
Of course we've been blown off course
A source of the present
The moon as a crescent
The master and the servant
The dragging of the currents
The pressure of the distance
The measure of insistence
They say
This isle is full of noises
An intruder in the burrow
Hand within the hollow
Follow me down
To the ruined town
The tears upon the pillow
The shock of the first hello
The weather on the window
A shadow of a widow
Today they wake up to a nightmare
The choking of the shallow
The weeping of the willow
I wanted to (possession) be here for you
I'm home too late, I'm fading out
We loved you (repossession) even greater
Than you ought to
Than you ought to know
The terrain upon the surface
The meaning of the purpose
I'm nervous about the delay
Chatter of the carriage
Married to the damage
We'd love to (possession) be here for you
We're home too late, you're fading out
We loved you (repossession) given greater
Things you ought to
Things you ought to know
Today
I came to in the morning
I was writhing in the undergrowth
DA says you're under oath
Tonight
I go to my sleep backwards
But then I live life forwards
Are we completely normal
