-->One Lonely Night
 
 
You and your baby had some words today
Till not another word was left to say
I see that grin boy
Maybe you think you'll win boy
Until the sun goes down and once again boy
 
One lonely night
One lonely night
That's all it takes to completely break you
 
They say it's darkest right before the dawn
But oh those dakest hours can be so long
You're feelin strong boy
Tellin yourself she's wrong boy
But how much longer can this night go on boy
 
One lonely night
One lonely night
That's all it takes to completely break you
 
Oh she's such a ggod find
Have you gone and lost your mind
You should know she's one of a kind

    watching waiting rising falling
    listening calling Drifting
    touching feeling seeing believing
    Hoping sending leaving
 
I couldn't say why you and I are Gemini
If I tried to write a Million words a day
I see your shadow coming closer
Then watch you drifting away
 
    watching Waiting rising falling
    listening calling drifting
    touching feeling seeing believing
    hoping Sending leaving
 
I couldn't say why you and I are Gemini
We are travelling a million worlds away
I see you Shadow coming closer
Then watch you drifting away

-->Silence and I
 
 
If I cried out loud over sorrows I've Known
  And the secrets I've heard
It would ease my mind someone sharing the load
  But I won't breathe a word
 
We're Two of a kind Silence and I
We need a chance to talk things over
Two of a kind Silence and I
We'll find a way to work it out
 
While the children laughed I was always afraid
  Of the Smile of the clown
So I close my eyes till I can't see the light
  And I hide from the sound
 
We're Two of a kind Silence and I
We need a chance to talk things over
Two of a kind Silence and I
We'll find a way to work it out
 
I can hear the cry of the leaf on a tree
  As it Falls to the ground
I can hear the call of an Echoing voice
  And there's no one around
 
We're Two of a kind Silence and I...

-->The Sound of Silence


   Hello, Darkness, my old friend.
   I've come to talk with you again.
   Because a vision slowly creeping
   Left its seeds while I was sleeping.
   And the vision that was planted in my brain
   Still remains, within the sounds of silence.
 
   Through restless dreams I walk along
   Narrow streets of cobblestones.
   'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
   I turn my collar to the cold and damp.
   When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
   That split the night
   And touched the sounds of silence.
 
   And in the naked light I saw
   Ten thousand people, maybe more.
   People talking without speaking.
   People hearing without listening.
   People writing songs that voices never share.
   And no one dared disturb the sounds of silence.
 
   Fools, said I, you do not know.
   Silence, like a cancer, grows.
   Hear my words that I might teach you.
   Take my arm so that I might reach you.
 
   And the sign flashed out its warning,
   In the words that it was forming.
   And the sign said,"The words of the Prophets are written on the subway
       walls
   And tenement halls, and whispers in the sounds of silence"

  -->Comfortably Numb
    
    
     Hello,
     Is there anybody in there
     Just smile if you can hear me
     Is there anyone at home
     
     Come on,  now,
     I hear you're feeling, down
     I can ease your pain
     And get you on your feet again
   
     Relax
     I'll need some information, first
     Just the basic facts
     Can you show me where it hurts
    
     
     There is no pain you are receding
     A distant ship smoke on the horizon
     You are only comming through in waves
     Your lips move but I can't hear what your saying
    
     When I was a child, I had a fever
     My hands felt just like two balloons
     Now I've got that feeling once again,
     I can't explain, you would not understand
     This is not how I am
     I have become, comfortably numb - 
    
    
     O.K.
     Just a little pin prick
     There'll be no more aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
     But you'll feel a little sick
     Can you stand up?
     I do believe it's working, good
     That'll keep you going through the show
     Come on it's time to go
   
     There is no pain you are receding
     A distant ship smoke on the horizon
     You are only comming through in waves
     Your lips move but I can't hear what your saying
    
     When I was a child, 
     I caught a fleeting glimpse
     Out of the corner of my eye
     I turned to look but it was gone
     I cannot put my finger on it now
     The child is grown
     The dream is gone
     And I have become
     Comfortably numb -

     I think about the implications
     Of diving in too deep
     And possibly the complications
   
     Especially at night
     I worry over situations
     I know will be alright
     Perhaps it's just my imagination
     
     Day after day it reappears
     Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear
     Ghosts appear and fade away
   
     Alone between the sheets 
     Only brings exasperation
     It's time to walk the streets
     Smell the desperation
    
     At least there's pretty lights
     And though there's little variation
     It nullifies the night
     From overkill
     
     Day after day it reappears
     Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear
     Ghosts appear and fade away

     So much stuff without style
     It's hard to recognize the real thing
     When it comes along once in a while
        Like a rare and precious metal
        Beneath a ton of rock
        It takes some time and trouble
        To separate from the stock
        You sometimes have to listen
        To a lot of useless talk
     
     Shapes and forms
     Against the norms - 
     Against the run of the mill
     Swimming against the stream
     Life in two dimensions
     Is a mass production scheme
    
     So much poison in power
     The principles get left out
     So much mind on the matter
     The spirit get's forgotten about
        Like a righteous inspiration
        Overlooked in haste
        Like a teardrop in the ocean
        A diamond in the rough
        Some world-views are spacious - 
        Some are merely spaced
    
     Against the run of the mill
     Static as it seems
     We break the surface tension
     With our wild kenetic dreams
     Curves and lines -

     'Cause you're a rebel you're a rebel
     Just a shadow on the run
     You're the dream that they can't remember
     The deeds that they ain't done
     Oh you're a rebel you're a rebel
     And the sea you sail is rough
     But I know you can ride it out girl
     You never seem to get enough now
         Rebel rebel rebel rebel
     The sea you sail is rough
     A dream a dream you can't remember
     Let me hear you say rebel rebel rebel rebel...

     Welcome to the Grand Illusion
     Come on in and see what's happening
     Pay the price get your tickets for the show
    
     The stage is set, the band starts playing
     And suddenly your heart is pounding
     Wishing secretly you were a star
    
       But don't be fooled by the radio
       The T.V. or the magazines 
       They'll show you photographs
       Of how your life should be
       But they're just someone elses fantasy
   
     So if you think your life is complete confusion
     Cause you never win the game
       (cause your neighbor's got it made)
     Just remember that it's a Grand Illusion
     And deep inside we're all the same
    
     America spells competition
     Join us in our blind ambition
     Get yourself a brand new motorcar
     
     But someday soon we'll stop to ponder
     What on earth's this spell we're under
     We made the grade and still we wonder
     Who the hell we are!

     Here come the woman
     With the look in her eye
     Raised on leather
     With flesh on her mind
     Words as weapons

     Makes you wonder
     How the other half die
     Other half die
     Makes you wonder
     Here come the man
     With the look in his eye
     Fed on nothing
     But full of pride

     How the other half live
     The devil inside

     We need a place called Hell

-->Ricochet (?)


We are jigsaw pieces aligned on the perimeter edge, 
Interlocked through a missing piece 
We are renaissance children becalmed beneath the bridge of sighs
Forever throwing firebrands at the stonework 
We are siamese children related by the heart 
Bleeding from the surgery of initial confrontation 
Holding the word scapels on trembling lips
        
Stand straight, look me in the eye and say goodbye 
Stand straight, we've drifted past the point of reasons why 
Yesterday starts tomorrow, tomorrow starts today 
The problem always seems to be
 We're picking up the pieces on the ricochet
     
Drowning tequila sunsets, stowaways on midnight ships 
Refugees of romance plead asylum from the real 
Scrambling distress signals on random frequencies
Forever repatriated on guilt laden morning planes 
We are pilots of passion sweating the flight on course 
To another summit conference another breakfast time divorce 
Screaming out a ceasefire, snowblind in an avalanche zone
     
Stand straight, look me in the eye and say goodbye 
Stand straight, we've drifted past the point of reasons why 
Yesterday starts tomorrow, tomorrow starts today 
The problem always seems to be
 We're picking up the pieces on the ricochet
     
Are we trigger happy? 
Russian roulette in the waiting room 
Empty chambers embracing the end 
Puzzled visions haunt the ripples of a trevi moon 
Dream coins for the fountain, or to cover your eyes 
We reached ignition point from the sparks of pleasantries 
Sensed the smoke advancing from horizons 
You must have known I was planning an escape
     
Stand straight, look me in the eye and say goodbye 
Stand straight, we've drifted past the point of reasons why 
Yesterday starts tomorrow, tomorrow starts today 
The problem always seems to be
 We're picking up the pieces on the ricochet
      
This is the ricochet....

-->Light of the World

          
I am just a stranger in a promised land 
I am only learning a game with rules I don't understand 
Going round in circles, I've been round before 
I am lost in so many ways, 
I can walk no more- 
I can walk no more
        
I am just a drifter on an open sea 
But no matter how much I try, 
the tide will not turn for me 
Going round in circles 'til I reach the shore 
I am blown by so many winds, 
I can take no more- 
I can take no more
     
Light of the world 
I stand alone 'cause 
I could not see the Light of the world
Show me the fire in a true believers' eye
     
I am just a dreamer when I close my eyes 
I can fly so close to the sun that 
I cannot see it rise 
Going round in circles in a silent sky 
I am lost for so many words, 
I cannot say why- 
I cannot say why
         
Light of the world 
I stand alone 'cause 
I could not see the Light of the world
Show me the fire in a true believers' eye

Just a traveler on an endless flight 
But no matter which way I turn 
I journey into the night 
Going round in circles 'til the mountains fall 
To believe in so many truths 
Makes no sense at all- 
Makes no sense at all
     
Light of the world 
I stand alone 'cause 
I could not see the Light of the world
I was afraid 'cause 
I could not see the Light of the world 
Show me the fire in a true believers' eye
     
So many ways... So many words...

  -->Wasted Sunsets
   
   
     The day is gone
        when the angels come to stay
     And all the silent whispers
        will be blown a way
     And lying in the corner
        a pair of high heel shoes
     Hanging on the wall
        gold and silver for the blues
     
     One too many wasted sunsets
     One too many for the road
     And after dark the door is always open
     Hoping someone else will show
   
     Someone is waiting behind
        an unlocked door
     Grey circles overhead empties
        on the floor
     The cracks in the walls have
        grown too long
     The slow hand is dragging on 
        afraid to meet the dawn
     
     One too many wasted sunsets
     One too many for the road
     And after dark the door is always open
     Hoping someone else will show

  -->Perfect Strangers
   
    
     Can you remember   remember my name
     As I flow through your life
     A thousand oceans I have flown
     And cold   spirits of ice
     All my life
     I am the echo of your past
    
     I am returning   the echo of a point in time
   
     Distant faces shine
     A thousand warriors I have known
     And laughing   as the spirits appear
     All your life
     Shadows of another day
    
     And if you hear me talking on the wind
     You've got to understand
     We must remain
     Perfect Strangers
    
     I know I must remain inside this silent well of sorrow
    
     A strand of silver   hanging through the sky
     Touching more than you see
     The voice of ages in your mind
     Is aching with the dead of the night
     Precious life
   
     Your tears are lost in falling rain
    
     And if you hear me talking on the wind
     You've got to understand
     We must remain
     Perfect Strangers

     Sweet Lucy was a dancer
     But none of us would chancer her
     Because she was a Samurai
     She made electric shadows
     Beyond our fingertips
     And none of us could reach that high
     She came on like a teaser
     I had to touch and please her
     Enjoy a little paradise
     The log was in my pocket
     When Lucy met the Rockett
     And she never knew the reason why
    
     I can't deny it
     With that smile on her face
     It's not the kill
     It's the thrill of the chase
   
     Feel it coming
     It's knocking at the door
     You know it's no good running
     It's not against the law
     The point of no return
     And now you know the score
     And now you're learning
     What's knocking at your back door
    
     Sweet Nancy was so fancy
     To get into her pantry
     Had to be the aristocracy
     The members that she toyed with
     At her city club
     Were something in diplomacy
     So we put her on the hit list
     Of a common cunning linguist
     A master of many tongues
     And now she eases gently
     From her Austin to her Bentley
     Suddenly she feels so young

     You act like a king but you ain't got a thing

     And now there's nobody home
     My belly is aching
     Your image is blown
     Your lights are burning bright
     But Nobody's Home
    
     You talk about love and affection
     If only you could
     You're full of pride but there's nothing inside
     And you think you're so good
    
     You know you got it comming to ya
     All things return
     You need me
     It's not gonna be my concern
    
     And now there's nobody home
     Your message is changing
     The children have grown
     Your lights are burning bright

     What can I say
     You get what you so
     Forgive me as I turn away

     The seeds have been sown

     Then lost in that feeling
     I looked in your eyes
     I noticed emotion
     And that you had cried
     For me
     I can see
    
     What would touch me deeper
     Than tears that fall from eyes
     That only cry?
     Would it touch you deeper
     Than tears that fall from eyes
     That know why?

      A modern day warrior
      Mean mean stride
      Todays's Tom Sawyer
      Mean mean pride
    
    Though his mind is not for rent
    Don't put him down as arrogant
    His reserve a quiet defence
    Riding out the day's events -
    The river
    
    What you say about his company
    Is what you say about society
     - Catch the mist - Catch the myth
     - Catch the mystery - Catch the drift
    
    The world is the world is
    Love and life are deep
    Maybe as his skies are wide
   
     Today's Tom Sawyer
     He gets hight on you
     And the space he invades
     He get's by on you
    
    No, his mind is not for rent
    To any god or government
    Always hopeful yet discontent
    He knows changes aren't permanent -
    But change is
   
    What you say about his company
    Is what you say about society
     - Catch the witness - Catch the wit
     - Catch the spirit - Catch the spit
    
    The world is the world is
    Love and life are deep
    Maybe as his eyes are wide
    
     Exit the warrior
     Today's Tom Sawyer
     He gets high on you
     The energy you trade

     Unstable condition
     A symptom of life
     In mental
     And environmental change
    
     Atmospheric disturbance - 
     The feverish flux
     Of human interface
     And interchange
   
      The impulse is pure - 
      Sometimes our circuits get shorted
      By external interference
    
      Signals get crossed -
      And the balance distorted
      By internal incoherence
    
     A tired mind become a shapeshifter
     Everybody need a mood lifter
     Everybody need reverse polarity
   
     Everybody got mixed feelings
     About the function and the form
     Everybody got to deviate
     From the norm

     A pound of obscure
     Process information
     At half speed

     Rewind - replay -
     Warm memory chip
     Random sample -
     Hold the one you need

      The fact is 
      This friction
      Will only be worn by persistance
    
      Leave out conditions -
      Courageous convictions
      Will drag the dream into existance
     
    A tired mind become a shapeshifter
    Everybody need a soft filter
    Everybody need reverse polarity
    
    Everybody got mixed feelings
    About the function and the form
    Everybody got to elevate
    From the norm

-->Losing It

    
    
            The dancer slows her frantic pace
            In pain and desperation,
            Her aching limbs and downcast face
            Aglow with perspiration.
    
            Stiff as wire, her lungs on fire,
            With just the briefest pause -
            Then flooding through her memory,
            The echoes of old applause.
    
            She limps across the floor
            And closes her bedroom door...
   
            The writer stares with glassy eyes -
            Defies the empty page,
            His beard is white, his face is lined
            And streaked with tears of rage.
   
            Thirty years ago, how the words would flow
      
            With passion and precision,
            But now his mind is dark and dulled
            By sickness and indecision.
   
            And he stares out the kitchen door
            Where the sun will rise no more...
   
            Some are born to move the world -
            To live their fantasies
            But most of us just dream about
            The things we'd like to be
   
            Sadder still to watch it die 
            Than never to have known it
            For you -- the blind who once could see -
            The bell tolls for thee...

-->Romeo and Juliet


 A love-struck Romeo sings a streetsuss serenade
Laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made
Finds a convient streetlight steps out of the shade
Says something like you and me babe how 'bout it?
 
Juliet says hey it's Romeo you nearly give me a heart attack
He's underneath the window she's singing hey la my boyfriend's back
You shuldn't come 'round here singing up at people like that
Anyway what you gonna do about it?
 
Juliet the dice were loaded from the start
And I bet and you exploded in my heart
And I forget I forget the movie song
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong Juliet
Come up on different they both were streets of shame
Both dirty both mean yes and the dream was just the same
And I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real
How can you look at me as if I~f I was one of your deals?
 
When you can fall for chains of silver you can fall for chains of gold
You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
You promised me everything you promised me thick and thin
Now you just say oh Romeo yeah you know I used to have a scene with him
 
Juliet when we made love you used to cry
You said I love you like the stars above I'll love you 'til I die
There's a place for us you know the movie song
When you gonna realise it was just the time was wrong Juliet?
 
I can't do the talk like they do on TV
And I can't do a love song the way it's meant to be
I can't do everything, but I'll do any thing for you
I can't do anything but be in love with you
 
And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
All I do is keep the beat and bad company
All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
Julie, I'll do the stars with you anytime
 
Juliet when we made love you used to cry
You said I love you like the stars above I'll love you till I die
And there's a place for us you know the movie song
When you gonna realise it was just the time was wrong Juliet
