[rev. Sept. 6, 2010]
Distance ain't a joke
When you're wheelless and broke
But I'm walking through time
And I'm starting to acclimatize
Long may you run
Yeah, the race has begun
But I'm looking so slow
I'm starting to get solarized
You see, this map is unclear
It says you are here
But I lost my little gem
Had it all memorized
Your mouth, who knows what lies ahead
Her eyes, who sees eyes ahead (alright now)
I wade through this marsh
And these measures are harsh
But I'm sifting through sand
Starting to get vandalized
And I fight off the birds
That feed off my words
But my brain fuels my thoughts
'Cos my heart has been cauterized
Your mouth, who knows what lies ahead
Her eyes, who sees eyes ahead
Your mouth, who knows, lies ahead
Her eyes, who sees eyes ahead
You see there's nothing up my sleeve (your mouth)
Nothing you won't believe (who knows)
I'm just saving my hide (lies ahead)
No one you should idolize
[rev. Sept. 6, 2010]
Mornings after come and go somehow
The warning laughter wafts up, you laugh
My will be yours, you will be mine
I will lose all that I will find
My will be yours, you will be mine
Yeah, that's the trouble with the stars and the gossip rags
You go in empty, when you come out you're carrying bags
You go in Mondays sometimes, maybe not at all
You believe it when you see it, you really got some gall
The voyage relief calms my aching nerves
The ending more than it deserves
My will be yours, you will be mine
I will lose all that I will find
My will be yours, you will be mine
My will be yours, you will be mine forever
Valentine
Some oil for this friend of mine
A little something you could be so kind
A pipe of hashish, some Andorran wine
The night you sold me I was frozen like the stars
You might have told me that our love would last
Stretch into the past
The end
The kind of ending that you can depend
The kind of mending that you'd do for a friend
The blinding sending when you hope it will end
The night you sold me I was frozen like the stars
You might have told me that our love would last
Stretch into the past
Evermore
That's what you said outside the master's door
When you cast your pearls before the poor
When you embraced that creature I deplore
The night you sold me I was frozen like the stars
You might have told me that our love would last
Stretch into the past
The night you sold me I was frozen like the stars
You might have told me that our love would last
And stretch into the past
That our love would last
That our love would last
The night you sold me I was frozen like the stars
You might have told me that our love would last
That our love would last (stretch into the past)
That our love would last

Child don't climb too high
There's danger in the sky above you
There's all this waiting here for you
Child don't swim too deep
Just your breath will keep you going
There's no way I could show you this
Child don't walk away
There's something in the things I'm saying
All them people out there praying, paying
Child don't wander off
The mirror's soft, you'll fall right through
Nothing to stop you
I always wanted to talk with you
I'm so afraid of the moon
I always wanted to walk with you
Maybe soon
Maybe soon
Maybe soon
Child don't make mistakes
Life is full of fakes and failures
It's all so far in front of you
Child don't take it hard
It's just that all your cards ain't aces
God, the faces that you do
I always wanted to talk with you
I'm so afraid of the moon
I always wanted to walk with you
Maybe soon
Maybe soon
Ah, when the night comes down
Everything is gone
Find me standing all alone
[rev. Sept. 3, 2015]
Overshot my sake
Awkward old malarkey
It's a bit parky, my lord
Overdid my dinner
Washed it down with thinners
Ate it with the sinners, my god
Underpass the villa
Understood the thrilla
Undertook the killer, my god
Why can't I leave it all in front of me?
I don't know
(What you gonna do?) I don't know
(What you gonna do?) I don't know
(What you gonna do?) I don't know
(What you gonna do?) I don't know
Opened up the letter
I reach right out to pet her
I ain't even met her, my god
I evened up the odds, man
Fly without your wingspan
Die without your fortune, oh no
Ultra-nasty weather
Intra-muscle leather
Lighter than a feather, oh yeah yeah
Why can't I leave it all in front of me?
I don't know
(What you gonna do?) I don't know
(What you gonna do?) I don't know
(What you gonna do?) I don't know
(What you gonna do?) I don't know
Far away the clamour
Deep inside the hammer
Water in the camera, my god
In between the planets
In amongst the gannetts
That's the way I ran it, oh lord
Over shot my sake
Awkward old malarkey
It's a bit parky, my lord
Why can't I leave it all in front of me?
I don't know
Why can't I leave it all in front of me? (What you gonna do?)
I don't know
Why can't I leave it all in front of me? (What you gonna do?)
I don't know
I don't know
If time was really like this song
You'd cut it short, sing along
Or take it apart
Hold its beating heart
If you were really like this time
This time we climb into your mind
See the orange glow
No one that you know
You said the thought of leaving made you feel so strange
Made you feel like grieving for every little change
For every empty evening
Every wasted day
If love was like a garden gate
Swing it shut, come in late
We could walk on through
Just like we never do
If life was like a tranquil pool
I'd dive in first just like a fool
Then I'd breathe in deep
'Cause life don't come so cheap
If you were really like you said
I'd put an arrow to your head
And I'd pull the string
Every time I sing
You said the thought of leaving made you feel so strange
Made you feel like grieving for every little change
For every empty evening
Every wasted day
You said the thought of staying made you feel so odd
Made you feel like praying to every little god
Every film that's playing
Every lightning rod
If music soothes the savage beast
You can make this song your feast
Eat it with a spoon
You better do it soon
If you ever change your mind
You'd better watch that beast behind
'Cause you gone clean
Don't mean that he ain't mean
[rev. Jan. 19, 2010]
It's your sympathy I feel sorry for
Shuffle down the corridor
What you look so worried for?
I'll see you in another place
Another place, another scene
Another sign say, "where you been?"
Another time, another score
I'm a stranger at your door
It's your guess, it's so exact
That's the truth, that's a fact
It's the loser that you backed
The one from the other place
Another place, another scene
Another sign say, "where you been?"
Another time, another score
I'm a stranger at your door
Memory has really slipped
The rip is torn, tear is ripped
Was that nepenthe that you sipped
It took you to another place
Another place, another scene
Another sign say, "where you been?"
Another time, another score
I'm a stranger at your door
Meet you in another place
I'll be wearing my new face
Meet you in another place
Meet you in another place
It's your sympathy I feel sorry for
I'll see you in another place
In another place

When the sun has finaly set
And the lion lays down with the lamb
Say goodbye to everyone you've ever met
Prepare to take me as I am
All is one
Two's an illusion now
Shattered when day is done
All is one
Show me the holy night
Show me the rising sun
Angels play Dixie on their horns
Giants walk this earth once more
And the dead rise up as you mourn
Here I come right through your door
All is one
Two's an illusion now
Shattered when day is done
All is one
Show me the holy night
Show me the rising sun
And the stars will fade from the sky
The moon will fall in the sea
And the mountains will crumble and die
Just be sure you're hanging out with me
All is one
Two's an illusion now
Shattered when day is done
All is one
Show me the holy night
Show me the rising sun
Spirit, come and take me now
Spirit, come and take me now
Spirit, come and fill me now
Spirit, come and fill me now
Spirit, come and take me now
Spirit, come and fill me now
[rev. July 16, 2013]
A story came to be told
About a fight between love and honour
A fight between soul and goal
You had something to ask us
On the road to Damascus
Where the trail was cold
A man was said to be saved
During a time [of] sickness and famine
A man who set free the slaves
You had something to ask us
On the road to Damascus
In the lepers caves
A war was fought in the sky
Angels fell [like] stones in the ocean
A war where no one could die
You had something to ask us
On the road to Damascus
The sure sign
The invisible line
The desert night
Some strange light
The fire's touch
You want so much
The shifting sands
Your lifting hands
The prophet's eyes
The Summer sky
The wind and the sea
Brings you to me
The marriage feast
The love increased
The wedding bed
The fire fed
A certain mark
Placed in the dark
A certain name
Supports my claim
A time of joy
Pure unalloy
A time of peace
The love increased
The journey done
The race is run
The end beheld
All fear dispelled
[rev. Sept. 6, 2010]
Anyone home, am I alone?
Who am I speaking to?
Who is it there, why don't you appear?
What are you trying to do?
I always never see your face
I know you from the other place
(Every night I try to make some kind of contact
Lacking cohesion
Fix our coordinates
Meters are going crazy on you
You'd better get a look at this)
Anything on, I knew this song
What am I singing for?
Turn off your night, candles so bright
Why are they bringing more?
I always never see your face
I know you from the other place
Anyone in, Know where you've been
Next time I'm coming too
Anyone out, out and about
Next time I'm coming through
I always never see your face
I know you from the other place
I always never see your face
I know you from the other place
From the other place
[rev. Aug. 5, 2014]
I will stay here all the day if you want me to
I will wait, suspended state, if you ask me to
I know you're always lonely, lovely as you are
(Follow the sun, yeah, follow the sun, yeah)
You go and come and own me, naked as a star
(Follow the sun, yeah, follow, follow the sun)
I will dream a total world if you need me to
(Follow the sun, yeah)
And I'll appear when night is near if you'd like me to
(Follow the sun, yeah)
I know you're always lonely, lovely as you are
(Follow, follow)
You go and come and own me, naked as a star
(Follow, follow)
As you fall so far, as you fall so far
(Follow the sun)
I will prove how pain will move if you invite me too
I will swiftly lift your gift if you give too
[rev. July 16, 2013]
You really don't know
You really don't know anything
All your facts are gone
You really can't tell
You really can't tell any more
All of your fears have come
Imaginary, every one
You really don't see
You're running away with yourself
There's always someone hiding behind you
And I don't understand the lie of the land
All of your friends along
Everyone singing this song
You really don't think
You really don't figure it out
All of your friends have gone
Aspersions been cast upon
Vanishing, every one
Everyone singing this song
Your friends can go
All your little friends can go
All them souls cast below
All below
