Where you'll find it
04:59
|

Here's where
You'll find it
Just beneath
The surface
Roots and
Dark branches
Chains and
Barbed wire
Narrow
Twisted tunnels
Disconnected
Synapses
Ties that
Bind you
Pills that
Soothe you
There is a
Right path
Just near
The wrong
Path
Helpless
Confusion
Feeling
So trapped
Feeling
So trapped (x2)
Cold dark
void
Suspended
World
Release me now
From this
Vice
Neuro-tendrils
Echo chambers
Take me
Where it's
Warm and
Nice
Here's where
You'll find it
A long rapid
Descent
Pillows for
The landing
Rocks on the
Sea shore
Friends for
The moment
Enemies on
The right
Flank
Silhouetted
Landscape
Dimmed
And forgotten
Clocks slowly
Ticking
Measure the
Hours
Dizzying
Silence
Shadows
And towers
There is a
Right path
Just near
The wrong
Path
Helpless
Confusion
Feeling
So trapped
Feeling
So trapped

Meet out by the lake
03:08
|
|||
Grab the phone
And car keys
We'll meet out
By the lake
A picnic lunch
On Sunday
Shiraz with
Cheddar aged
Pack up all
Your troubles
What he did
To you
Leave it all
Behind us
A clean break
Start anew
There were razor blades
Not poetry
There were sheer cliffs
Not gentle plains
The camera was
A Nikon
Pastel shades
To blackened eyes (x2)
The smell of
Your perfume
It lingers
In the mist
Your sweetness
Just consumes
Me
He was a monster
To do this
I hold you by
The water
Your arms
Tighten
They won't
Let go
Love was meant
To be like this
A tear stained
Shirt
With tender words
There were razor blades
Not poetry
There were sheer cliffs
Not gentle plains
The camera was
A Nikon
Pastel shades
To blackened eyes

What you deserve
05:15
|
|||
Souls in free fall
Object lessons
Lack of conscience
You get what you deserve
In the end
You get what you deserve
In the end
Concrete jungle
Exhaust fumes choking
Children screaming
You get what you deserve
In the end
You get what you deserve
In the end
Spiritual melt down
Human wasteland
Stupid Intelligence
You get what you deserve
In the end
You get what you deserve
In the end
It's all such a shame
We could have been great
It's all such a shame
We could have been grand
We pillaged the water
We plundered the land
It's too late
It's too late
You get what you deserve
In the end
You get what you deserve
In the end

Oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Hold me in your arms
In the winter
Cradle me
Like a baby
In the fall
Caress me through the rains
Of spring-time
Comfort me
Through the blazing heat
Of summer honey doll
I need a love
For all seasons
The kind of love
That won't let go
I need a love
For all Seasons
The kind of love
That won't let go
The kind of love
That won't let go

There's an idiot wind
That bears ill
There's furious heat
That will melt your soul
Hard to think with all this turmoil
That threatens to swallow
You whole
I need a love
For all seasons
The kind of love T
hat won't let go
I need a love
For all seasons
The kind of love
That won't let go
The kind of love
That won't let go

Space junk
03:32
|
|||
Space junk over Houston
Cedric scans the sky
Flying saucers over Cleveland
People moan and cry
Molten lava
On the hillside
Another swig of wine
Doris is getting nervous
It's God on the line
Weird shit
Happening to us
We ruled the planet
Now we're doomed
Weird shit
Happening to us
We ruled the planet
Now we're Doomed
Now we're Doomed
A crater In the cornfield
Smouldering smokey plume
A serpent In the fish tank
A 'gator in your room
Bubba lights a doobie
Billy snorts a line
Zombies In the graveyard
Martians On the lawn
Weird shit
Happening to us
We ruled the planet
Now we're doomed
Weird shit
Happening to us
We ruled the planet
Now we're doomed
Now we're Doomed

To be embraced
04:00
|

Summer time
Sleepless nights
Counting sheep
In a row
In open fields
By a brook
Vivid dreams
Are sown
Lace spider webs
Cinder blocks
Apple trees In bloom
I lay me down on cotton sheets
Enchanted in your womb
It's all quite
Wondrous
It's all quite
Strange
It's all
We'd hoped for
To be embraced
To be embraced
Open eyes
Emerald green
Sparkling In the haze
Of August heat and
Thunder claps
Long forgotten days
Through corridors
Key hole cracks
Stories your mother told
Flickering lights
On island shores
Childhood memories
It's all quite
Wondrous
It's all quite
Strange
It's all
We'd hoped for
To be embraced
To be embraced
It's all quite
Wondrous
It's all quite
Strange
It's all
We'd hoped for
To be embraced
To be embraced

Please please save me
05:03
|

Falling, slowly
Dark holes and caverns
Star light
Pokes through
Luminous presence
Pulse rate quickens
Head pounds chest tightens
Please, please save me
Please, please
Save me now!
Please, please save me
Please, please
Save me Now!
Gotta, gotta get out
Gotta, gotta get out
Gotta get out of here
Gotta, gotta get out
Gotta, gotta get out
Gotta get out of here
:
Weightless heat blast
Shell-shocked running
Piercing sharp pain
Wind-storm frightened
Numbing, wailing
Water flowing
Please, please
Save me
Please, please
Save me now!
Please, please
Save me
Please, please
Save me now!
:
Crimson Purple
Green glow legs weak
Rippling bubbling
Can’t breath drowning
Please, please
Save me
Please, please
Save me now!
Please, please save me
Please, please
Save me now!
Gotta, gotta get out
Gotta, gotta get out
Gotta get out of here
Gotta, gotta get out
Gotta, gotta get out
Gotta get out of here
Gotta, gotta get out
Gotta, Gotta get out
Gotta get
Out of here
Gotta, gotta get out
Gotta, gotta get out
Gotta get out of here

In dreams
04:41
|

Let me take you
Through the
Valley
Of vivid dreams
And lullabies
There's a sign
Post by the
River
A glimmer in
A child's eyes
In that moment
We'll gather
Near a
Forest of
Emerald green
Strange music
Sweetly playing
An eagle soars
Above the scene
In dreams
We long
In dreams
We yearn
Better days ahead
It all will turn
In dreams
We long
In dreams
We yearn
Better days head
It all will turn
Warm sunshine
From the heavens
A gentle breeze
In your sails
Daffodils will
Greet you
As you float
And ride
The rails
In dreams
We long
In dreams
We yearn
Better days ahead
It all will turn
In dreams
We long
In dreams
We yearn
Better days head
It all
Will turn
In dreams
We long
In dreams
We yearn
Better days ahead
It all
Will turn

Etched
04:08

Etched in
A scrap-book
From the days
When we were closer
Charcoal sketches
Of your face
Smudged where it softens
Alabaster skin
Like the finest silken porcelain
It never was as good
After that first night in Paris
Seeing you again
Makes it all
Seem so petty
The fights over nothing
Such an awful pity
If I could change a thing
In this life
Full of folly
I'd make it up
To you
I'd make it up
To you
:
Etched in a scrap-book
From the days
When we were closer
The edges pf the page
Yellowed near spiral binding
There's one of you In profile
Smiling through the winter
The light In my drawing
Is fractured and splintered
Seeing you again
Makes it all seem so petty
The fights over nothing
Such an awful pity
If I could change a thing
In this life full of folly
I'd make it up
To you
Seeing you again
Makes it all seems so petty
The fights over nothing
Such an awful pity
If I could change a thing
In this life
Full of folly
I'd make it up
To you
I'd make it up
To you

End times
02:28

It’s a scene
Those currents
Will pull you Under
Was a placid stream
Those eddies will
Rip you asunder
Grab that branch
That’s stretched
Across the river
Or a talisman
To protect you
When your threatened
It’s all a bit too much
To bear
There’s screaming
We pretend
Not to hear
Someone listen up and listen clear
Better listen up and listen clear
It’s a cross
We shouldn’t
Bear it Lightly
Radioactive ash
An Apocalypse Is coming
There’s a chance
As this ozone layer is thinning
To change our course
Before that sunlight Is searing
It’s all a bit too much
To bear
There’s screaming
We pretend
Not to hear
Someone listen up and listen clear
Better listen up and listen clear
It’s all a bit too much
To bear
There’s screaming
We pretend
Not to hear
Someone listen up and listen clear
Better listen up and listen clear

The sound
06:31
|
|||
The sound of a rain fall
The sound of the wind
A pelting a howling
The turmoil within
The sound
Of a prayer
The sound
Of a choir
As it builds
And it resonates
Higher and higher
You gave me the secret
You gave me the key
I held it briefly
It was swept
Out to sea
This cancer's
A black hole
This cancer's a curse
The rush of a waterfall
So mighty and now so small
Path taken through forest green
Lush landscape
Not what it seems
What it seems
What it seems
The sound of your heartbeat
The sound of our love
The sound of the thunder
Crashing above
The sound of your last breath
As I held you close
Nothing else matters
You were always the most
You gave me the secret
You gave me the key
I held it briefly
It was swept
Out to sea
This cancer's a black hole
This cancer's a curse
You gave me the secret
You gave me the key
I held it briefly
It was swept out to sea
Swept out to sea

Give us peace
02:50
|
|||
There's a fine line
Between right and wrong
What divides us
should make us get along
Sick and tired of
Maimed bodies and bombs
Seen through CNN cameras at dawn
Give us peace
Give us hope
Give us peace
Give us hope
Give us peace
Red poppies
The colour of blood
Green grass innocents
Drowned by a flood
What we need is
Much more love
Compassion and courage
Like the wings of a dove
Give us peace
Give us hope
Give us peace
Give us hope
Give us peace
Give us peace
Give us hope
Give us peace
Give us hope
Give us peace

Endings and beginnings
03:31
|
|||
A stone skips across the water
Like the loon It dips and dives
Then out of sight
You can't freeze-frame life
It marches on
You can't hold the moon
In the night
With everything we see
And everything we do
There are endings
And beginnings too
There are endings
And beginnings too
The day I was born
My great-grandmother died
How strange and so unfair
I remember the moment
When Kennedy was shot
To young to die
I Saw it all re-played through
The TV's glare
With everything we see
And everything we do
There are endings
And beginnings too
With everything we see
And everything we do
There are endings
And beginnings too
There are endings
And beginnings too
