There is light at the edge of a shadow
It's a glow that you might not detect It's like gold at the tail of a rainbow A treasure you can not collect Friends I am calling, I want to be near All that I have is in you There is night at the edge of each morning It is day that will always come through It is life in mid-act of forming Like a wish that can only come true Friends I am falling but I feel you near All that I learn is from you Memory calling and focusing clear What I now see is through you There's a train at the end of the railyard - there is a train at the end It is standing abandoned alone - coming to you my friend The vines are graffiti are growing - the vines have finally grown The words have found their home There's a star at the end of Creation It seems very far and alone Quasar is pulsing The heart is still beating Hope against hope to come home Gravity's shrinking, it's floating away Far, far from this place Gravity take me and pull me away My body to space My body to space 02. Have You Hugged Your Robot?
Waking
Up from the dream I am alive in a walking machine Robot Answer my call Nobody knows what it's like In the virtual Lately Nothing means anything I am alive in an adding machine Honey Don't be unsure Metal is nice when the circuit is pure Robot Answer my call Robot Don't tell a soul 'Cos nobody knows what it's like in the virtual In the virtual 03. A Storm Of Cats
Where have you been my sweet cat Delia
Where have you been by the potting shed? I have been sunning by the barnyard With my eyes closed I noticed no dead Where have you been my fierce cat Freda Have you been by the potting shed? Nay, have I been gathering long grass Chasing my tail I discovered no dead And where were you my sleek cat Celia By the shed have your little paws tread? Rarely would I be dallying thereward Thru puddles? I never encountered the dead When all my cats were gathered together And we did go to the potting shed A violence so awful I care not remember The stems and the petals 'A twisted and dead The stems and the petals 'A twisted and dead 04. Never Gonna Go
One day down, a day away, a day away
One day down, a day away In Quentin Quick's cathedral, I was ensnared by something evil And snatched into the spotlight - A god to fool the people I'm stuck in this tomb - Everyday - I'm never gonna get away I don't like what I do - I don't like what I say, but I'm never gonna get away I can't be the one to free them - I am a puppet of the Priests There's no escape, they trapped me like some domesticated beast But something stirs inside me - An appetite that wants to feast Some accidental transfer and I have been unleashed ..I will be released The times they are a'changing One day down, a day away, a day away You're never gonna get away, get away, get away cuz I'm never gonna go away You know I know it's over And I will be okay I know you know it's over Will never be the same I know I know it's over But I will rise again You know although it's over I'll never go away I will be okay I'm never gonna go away 05. Pyramid
I always thought that it was true
I always thought that you had been there too Among the million bits of sand Everyday I come for you I'll be there in your dreams And you'll be there with me too I always knew we were entwined - We are three I always knew that we three were entrined - Three is what are we Beneath a hundred million stars Every night I look for you I'll be there in your dreams Every night I wait for you And you'll be there Too We are all we knew We are only what is true Amid the hundred million stars All my days I offer you I'll be there in your dreams And you'll be there with me too All my days I offer you All my days I do I never thought that I was wrong I always knew we three belonged To some primeval family All my days I offer you You'll be there in my dreams And I'll be there For you 06. There's Only One Of You
The fury of ten thousand years
It flashes once then disappears I stand by and gather tears It's all because of you It all comes down to you It's all because of you It all comes down to you There's only one of you There's only one of you All men face a thousand tests Springing from their loneliness Lately I've abandoned rest All because of you All because of you There's only one of you There's only one of you The fool who caused a thousand rifts Was feeling psycho-generous Holographic litmus test That I'll explain to you I'll explain to you I'll explain to you I'll explain to you 07. Orangutan
Orangutan waiting for the perfect vine
Orangutan don't you know I love your side/sign Orangutan waiting for the other side Orangutan motion from the other side Orangutan don't lose your sand That used to drive you wild Orangutan you lose your sand Waiting for the other side Just waiting for the other side Orangutan banging on the garden wire Orangutan don't ya know I love your fire Orangutan I wish you could go outside Orangutan I'll see you another night They say that you will be extinct by 2085 Because the space that is your place will no longer be wild Playing on the other side Orangutan ain't it good to be alive Orangutan don't ya know I love your mind They say that you and I will walk together miles forever They say that you and I we share a vine that can't be severed Playing on the other side 08. Sick Of Me
I'm sick of me - I'm sick of me
I hear my voice - I want to scream I'm sick of me and what I see In your eyes when you look at me Eyes that say I'm beautiful, they are so wrong I don't belong in your company Hands above the clouds and underground I want to join with you somehow I'm sick of me - what I've become I loved you more, more than anyone You think I'm so wonderful, it won't be long I don't belong in your company You don't know the half of it and if you did You'd want rid of my company My eyes say you're beautiful - They are not wrong And you belong in my company I'm sick of me - I'm sick of me Because of you what you must see I'm sick of me - All I can say I look at you - Make it go away I still say you're wonderful, the way you are The way you are in my company CODA 99 I want it I love it I need it Yes I do, yes I do, yes I do, yes I do... 09. In Search Of Bitter Ore
Saints forgive me
I have chosen to wander with the wind Beside the ragged nasturtiums I have fasted but for them Saints preserve me, I was broken But that was then Honour avenge me, be my armour I will follow to the end CATS 2 I was there, your dear cat faithful Up the tree by the potting shed Aye, but I was very careful Nobody knew I saw what they did..... 11. Watching Machine
I been telling you
All tomorrows will change I been telling you I been telling you Everything's getting strange It's a watching machine It's a watching machine Yeah We are viewing the world Through antennae eyes We can see who you are Isn't that nice? Before we had war But now We have sight It's a watching machine And it knows what it's seen Yeah We are watching you now From remote satellite And we've seen it all in the surveillance light Now the walls have eyes Isn't that great? Once there was a choice But now it's too late It's a watching machine And it's cold and it's mean Yeah It's a watching machine It's a watching machine Yeah It's a watching machine It's a watching machine Yeah 12. Run Singing Tiger
Run singing tiger
Like you've never run before Run if you want to Right across the floor Beware the stinging viper That lurks outside the door Run if you got to Til you can run no more Run singing tiger Like you've never run before Run if you want to Right across the floor Beware the swimming hydra That's moving from the shore Run if you got to Run and run some more Run for Paul Run for Silas Run for Julie For us all.... 13. Benediction
We breathe upon the land to grow
And root into the deep to know... We dig into the sand to find The grain of matter made divine We cheat the death that night will bring By everyday awakening |
