Lilac Man
03:43
|
|||
When the near sky vibrates to the sound of a million beating insects wings....and the red dog sun's shadow appears upon the penumbra
then, on the night of the Hunter, a violet figure will appear in the fiery east…
In the time of drought they fear him
for his appearance presages the turning arc of history
and the division of one age from the last to the next...as the prophets of the Almagest rouse themselves from an age old sleep
to witness the one whose coming they themselves foretold…
The rise of the Lilac Man!
Saw the spotlight
on a strange night,
the morning satellite
autumn dogfight, Faith 11, he flies...
turning to gaze neath the dreams of Time’s horizon
"Make me your serving man
Let me help them understand"
…your lilac man
I'm your lilac man
I'm your lilac man
I'm your man…..Man
Signs in the sky
that the people have crossed that line...
Human hatreds
have left wars black tracks on paradise
crossed like chem trails, fixed like dreams in Time's horizon
Make me your serving man
send me to their flowerless land
…your lilac man
I'm your lilac man
I'm your lilac man
I'm your man.

Yellow Moon Road
03:32
|
|||
Met a ghost by a hollow tree
walking down the road at a quarter past three
moon shone bright and he said to me
"sir my story must be told...
She was known all around the town
as the girl who could talk the little birds down and
leave no footprints on the ground...
lived out on yellow moon road
out on yellow moon road...
Pulling petals from a daisy's face
i made up my mind to go find her place
and one drunk morning i crushed that flower
as the rooster crowed on yellow moon road
out on yellow moon road
out on yellow moon road
Six months later she gave birth to a thing
that she buried i'm told in a shallow hole
with a black tornado crawling by
she laid down to die on yellow moon road
out on yellow moon road
out on yellow moon road
Then in my dreams she began to appear
and wasn't that her voice i'd hear
crawling and scratchin all around my door
till i hung my load on yellow moon road
out on yellow moon road
out on yellow moon road
out on yellow moon road...

the Defender
03:10
|
|||
Figured out i didn't need you… in my battle.
didn't know you were an animal… in my shadow
You can hold me with all the love you've found
for a moment there in the outer bound
i'm the dweller by the dark stream …dreaming in the sound
Here is one they call Defender….Does it matter?
doesn't have to move a single finger….and the whole world shatters…
so he kicks the dust in-to the ground
in a lonely place where melody screams for miles around
he's the dweller by the dark stream…dreaming in the sound
So I sing to God…as i lay down
holding nightmares underwater till they drown
I'm the dweller by the dark stream…dreaming in the sound

The Boulevard
03:17
|
|||
Here's a kiss
to dream on...
I am Audrey and you are George Peppard
with the bloody crimson rose
in the sand between our toes
hiding out like melting pumpkins in the halloween yard
it isn't hard
Baby are there stars in your eyes?
no, there aint
and babe is there a fire in your heart?
No, ya caint
but you never let me down
when we go walking down the boulevard
You gave me a birthday
then took it away
seems we're always tripping over things…. invisible and ghostly
but when you have to throw the Bomb
just to see where you have gone
well that's everyone that I know….mostly
Now, baby are there stars in your eyes?
no there aint
and babe is there a fire in your heart
no ya caint
but you never let me down
when we go walking down the boulevard
feed the fever smile like a lover
feed the fever forever and ever

She Comes Runnin' Back
03:14
|
|||
I’ve seen the face that haunts…
A man wants what he wants.
why do you fear me?
Returning to a love
that wasn't good enough
to keep you near me…
Then she comes running back
with just one wheel left on the track
I know where I stand
She's all that matters to me
Then she comes running back
and brings me everything I lack
Love opens the door
when she comes running to me
How could i just pretend
to see your face again
when you get lonely?
Your heart I never tamed
but i am not ashamed
to say you own me
Then she comes running back
just when I think I'm about to crack
I know where I stand
She's all that matters to me
Then she comes running back
and brings me everything I lack
Love opens the door
when she comes running to me
Another calls her name - a paper to a flame -
and she don’t miss me...
Tomorrow she will know—she has nowhere to go
that isn’t with me
Then she comes running back
with just one wheel left on the track
I know where I stand
She's all that matters to me
Then she comes running back
just when I think I'm about to crack
Love opens the door
when she comes running to me
she comes running to me
she comes running to me
she comes running to me

Say Goodbye
02:49
|
|||
These assignments from heaven they should have been ours
filling eternities vases with billions of flowers
it’s a dirty job, that someone's… got to do
heaven help me now to learn to say goodbye to you
Sailing on dramamine, cigarettes, sunshine and dawn
the sight of your coattails, they whip round the corners, you're gone
and you lost me then like a friend you never knew...
never found a way, to really say goodbye to you…
All the statues on willow st, seem to just go with the flow…
pretending that we can all just carry on with the show
they don't know... that i'm missing you so...
Someday when we’re orphans calling the shots
running thru meadows of mem’ries and forget-me-nots
will you see the colors underneath your shoe?
Can't you see it's hard for me to say, goodbye to you
?
Never found a way for me to say goodbye to you...

Willow
03:19
|
|||
Everyplace is free
free enough to live
i just saw the lightning on the willow
Roses are so green
green enough to give
All I want's my blanket and a pillow
Morning is the eve
painted up for free
Have you heard the singing of the willow?
Haunted is the wind
weeping thru the trees
Wind is for the singing of my Willow
willow…willow….willow…..willow……
Everybody lives inside a Willow
Children up the street
sleep through all their years
Dreamers should be up to push the pillow
...or to kiss the girl
laughing is so free
Little kisses for the baby Willow
Fly across the sea
skip across the lakes
Tinderboat desire all a'billow
multi-colored sand
mountains over deep
they just want their baby colored willow
Willow….willow….willow….willow….
everybody lives inside a Willow

Like A Superman
02:19
|
|||
Like a song from long ago
like a love letter
Like a swan the summer goes
like a superman…..
Life's a song that can't go wrong
Do you remember when
you'd go, wherever you'd want to go my friend…Superman?
The life you know is on the go
like no other
Like a lovely summer ghost
like a superman…..
Life's a song that don't last long
there's no time to pretend
so go, wherever you want to go, my friend Superman
Like a robin on the wing
with no master plan
just Go…wherever you want to go again….Superman, superman.
Life’s a song that don't last long la la la laaa
life’s a song that don't last long
life’s a song that don't last long
life’s a song that don't last long

Golden Heart
02:45
|

Golden heart...
Who cares if i miss you?
I can reach for your reflection in the mirror there...
I believe in love… set aside
i believe in closed and open wide
and somewhere in the world right now i believe that you do
too/two
People... they sweep along
every step along the way's another one gone.
People... keep searching on for you....
Golden Heart...
Who cares where the wind blows?
How can we live divided between the living and the dying?
People... they sweep along
Every step along the way's another one gone
People... keep searching on for you....
(voice)
"The Golden Heart......sweet as Honey..
It pours out.....with Love"

Passing By
03:18
|
|||
The day begins
the golden hour
still standing in the hum of power
that's never quite gone…
till you turn the day on
You press to play
you know the tune
take the finger pointing for the moon
another new day… ah, you better not cry
Do you think we're just passing by?
round the sun until we die
if you think we're just passing by
I think you need a bit more time outside
The swelling rain... the drowning guest
I know you've tried to do your best
hand over fist climb…the rope of sand
I cant explain, so let me guess
hope by the dawn I've turned in the test
what you leave behind, that's the original Man

From the dirty Black Maria
they leapt into the din...
it’s twilight in the Palace of Reason
With the watchmen at the orgies
the barbarians waltzed in...
Now It's midnight in the Palace of Reason
Now we're going to the New World…everybody said..
Even all the Greys will be amazed and bloody red...
Hear the godless children bitching
at the unbelievers knee…
It's midnight in the Palace of Reason
for the comfort of the stars
in their dark pornography...
It's twilight in the Palace of Reason
Then she took the killers hand
and she stroked it like a Jinn (genie)
"If this is love, why then none dare, to call it Treason"
From the Tower came every language
with a curse from every chin...
It’s twilight…in the palace…of Reason
And the children of Pandora... in every diaspora
will be illuminated in these days... by Cosmic Rays…
Then she took the killers hand
and she stroked it like a Jinn...
It's twilight in the Palace of Reason
You can 'imagine there’s no countries'
but they still won't let you in…
It's twilight…in the Palace…of Reason

Twenty-one
02:23
|

Twenty-one today...
the rabbit's on the run
now i'm on my way
to all the things I'll say I did when I'm done
on the sea of sails,
where friends have gone before
See them on the rails
and crashing into shore...
I'll be wounded too...
and child I leave the timing up to you
I'll only tell you what has gone before
nothing less, nothing more
I'll be wounded too...
and child I leave the timing up to you
I'll only tell you what has gone before
I'll only tell you this and nothing more
