Waves & Blades

Hurled into this world for
Time's infinity
Whirled like a dervish
Spin rotisserie
Speak a dead language
Symbols you can't read
Hide behind mountains
That you'll never reach
I look around at the city
Up at the boiling black skies
Down on all the sleeping people
Thru all the millions of I's
You can only see it if you close your eyes
(Waves and blades, wheels and teachers)
Serve the demiurges
Sea to shining sea
Rise to the occasion
High on turpentine
Do not scratch the surface
Stick to your routine
Till you find your purpose
In empty magazines
I look around at the city
Up at the boiling black skies
Down on the sleeping people
Thru all the millions of I's
I haven't lost any patience
Let's have a look at you dear
Open your mouth wide
Look inside
Until it all becomes clear
You can only see it if you close your eyes
(Waves and blades, wheels and teachers)

Sunshine

Seasons come and seasons go
I lay my head upon the asphalt
I'm so low
Used to think I would never die
Now I'm giving it one more try
And I know what to say
And I know what to do
Cuz I can still see the sunshine
Climbing it's way to the skyline
It's so strange
To come of age
When you're lost
Out in space
And they don't even know
Your sign
Time's were high and life was grand
Now the paint is dry
The colors, they're all bland
Used to think I was made of iron
And my eyes were filled with fire
Always riding the tide
In the light of the moon
But I can still see the sunshine
Climbing it's way to the skyline
It's so strange
To come of age
When you're lost
Out in space
And they don't even know
Your sign
Good times come and good times go
The world's a stage and life's a show
You fought and fought
And lost the plot
That you wrote many moons ago
Life is strange
But I know we'll meet again someday
Cuz I can still see the sunshine
Climbing it's way to the skyline
It's so strange
To come of age
When you're lost
Out in space
And they don't even know
Your sign

Orpheus

Reverse, rewind
Orpheus plays the lyre
Daydreams of eurydice
Flashback, it starts
It pulls me apart
Can't look back or it'll disappear
It's not
Like
You and me can be
If life is but a dream
Wake up
Knocked down
Dragged out
Can't hear the angels sing
My head is spinning with demons
Within, without
Someway, somehow
We'll find our way out of here
I've chased, this muse
Spoon fed on half truths
Then I hear all this music in my ear
It's not
Like
You and me can be
If life is but a dream
Wake up
Knocked down
Dragged out
Can't hear the angels sing
My head is swimming with demons
Anywhere you go
I will guide you home
Leave it all to me
I will set you free
Anywhere you fly
I will be your guide
Swim into the light
Shimmering inside
It's not
Like
You and me can be
If life is but a dream
Wake up
Knocked down
Dragged out
Can't hear the angels sing
My head is spinning with demons

BABY I’VE BEEN WAITING
TO SAY THIS JUST ONE MORE TIME
I WAS STALLING
I WAS CALLING
FROM THE FRINGES OF MY MIND
I WAS CALLOUS
I WAS CARELESS
I WAS BROKE WITHOUT A DIME
BUT YOU STRODE IN
& SHOWED ME
TO SEE WITH AN INNER EYE
REMEMBER WHEN WE WE’RE YOUNG AND WILD
THE ENDLESS SUMMERS WHEN TIME WAS ON OUR SIDE
I STILL CAN SEE IT CLEARLY EVERY TIME I CLOSE MY EYES
I COME ALIVE WITH THE TASTE OF BLOOD
MY HEART IS BEATING DOUBLE TIME BEHIND THE DRUMS
THE MOON IS SHINING BRIGHT, TIDES ARE HIGH
THE NIGHT IS YOUNG
I SAW YOU MOONWALK
TO THE JUKEBOX
FINGERS POKED AGAINST THE GLASS
DROP A COIN IN
AND YOU JOIN IN
WITH THE GHOSTS FUTURE PAST
HOODS AND HABITS
DAYS OF MAGIC
CLOUDS OF SMOKE HUNG THROUGH THE AIR
WE’RE SO FAR GONE
IN THIS AEON
WE FORGOT WHAT ONCE WAS THERE
REMEMBER WHEN WE WE’RE YOUNG AND WILD
THE ENDLESS SUMMERS WHEN TIME WAS ON OUR SIDE
I STILL CAN SEE IT CLEARLY EVERY TIME I CLOSE MY EYES
I COME ALIVE WITH THE TASTE OF BLOOD
MY HEART IS BEATING DOUBLE TIME BEHIND THE DRUMS
THE MOON IS SHINING BRIGHT, TIDES ARE HIGH
THE NIGHT IS YOUNG
ALL THE PEOPLE WILL ASK OF YOU WHAT I BECAME
I’LL LEAVE THEM ALL IN A HAZE THERE STANDING
I’LL RUN AWAY
THE WORLD WILL KEEP TURNING
THE FIRES STILL BURNING UNTIL RAIN
THE ENGINES STILL WHIRRING
UNTIL EVERYONE HAS GONE INSANE
REMEMBER WHEN WE WE’RE YOUNG AND WILD
THE ENDLESS SUMMERS WHEN TIME WAS ON OUR SIDE
I STILL CAN SEE IT CLEARLY EVERY TIME I CLOSE MY EYES
I COME ALIVE WITH THE TASTE OF BLOOD
MY HEART IS BEATING DOUBLE TIME BEHIND THE DRUMS
THE MOON IS SHINING BRIGHT, TIDES ARE HIGH
THE NIGHT IS YOUNG
