I feel I've never told you
the story of the ghost that I once knew and talked to of whom I'd never boast Cause this was my big secret how I get ahead and never have to worry I'd call him instead His answer came in actions He never spoke a word Or maybe I lay down the phone before he could be heard I somehow feel forsaken Like he had closed the door I guess I just stopped needing him as much as once before .. But maybe he's still with me the latch was left unhooked He's waiting in the wind and rain I simply haven't looked I feel I've never told you the story of the ghost ...... |

I am a prince I have it all
I hear your footsteps through the wall I wait in silence for your call then take a shot and watch you fall I am a ghost but I cannot fly I'm stuck here as the years slide by I need a resting place 'cause I already felt my body die if I had a host of ghosts living on my street I'd jive and strive to stay alive and offer them some meat I need a different life I think perhaps I'd be the missing link and treasure moments as I drink away the memories let the sink |

Guyute was the ugly pig
who walked on me and danced a jig that he had learned when he was six then stopped and did some other tricks like pulling weapons from his coat and holding them against my throat he lectured me in a language strange and scampered quickly out of range I'm bouncing like a newborn elf I can't remain inside myself Guyute glances in my eyes and manages to hypnotize me as I sleep the sleep of death he suck from me my only breath that I had breathed since I was ten I hope this happens once again |

Fikus dreamed a dream for me
it cost me nothing it was free he dreamed of walking in the sand of blossoms forming in his hand of kitchen cake and cedar shakes of waterfalls and yellow snakes of earthen dams and hydrofoils of watching water 'til it boils of holding forth from singing words of flying south with flocks of birds none of this was charged to me for as I said it was for free |

the terrible thing about hell
is that when you're there you can't even tell as you move through this life you love so you could be there and not even know but you say so what I'm doing just fine the irony is that it's all in your mind and that's why hell is so vicious and cruel but you'll just go on an oblivious fool |

The shoulder that I leaned on was carved out of stone
But when I'm done freezing I want to be alone Never want my hand cut off Never want a hacking cough Never need a cliffside push Never turn my brain to mush Always give me what I lack Always take the best parts back Always recognize your fate Always just a moment late Left is where I always turn Left is how I'm forced to learn Left the route my walking takes Left alone with my mistakes Up against a person who Up 'til now I never knew Up from hell the answer blew Up and down it's up to you. Drop me off the chinese wall and peel my fingers off the rim I come unglued while in mid-air and land to reform limb by limb And I am taken far away.... Lingering slowly and melting away Tossed with the salad and baled with the hay Pooling like water that drips from above Trampled by lambs and pecked by the dove Drop me off the chinese wall and peel my fingers off the rim I come unglued while in mid-air and land to reform limb by limb |

Time is me, and I should know
I knew this several months ago I knew more than I do now For I've been turned around somehow Relax, the world will spin beside itself and suck you in With threats and hopes beyond compare I change the landscape as I pass Meandering from sand to glass I suction there for one whole day Until the feeling goes away Relax, the world will spin beside itself and suck you in With threats and hopes beyond compare I don't need these orbits in my life Revolve and cycle through don't keep coming back for more I don't need this circular design Wheel and spin away from me you've been by here before I've lost my mind I've lost my way I'm bound to lose you wonder where I am Relax, the world will spin beside itself and suck you in With threats and hopes beyond compare I've lost my mind I've lost my way I'm bound to lose you wonder where I am I've lost my mind I've lost my way I'm bound to lose you wonder where I am I've lost my mind I've lost my way I'm bound to lose you wonder where I am.. |

If you're just staring at your walls
Observing echoing footfalls From tenants wandering distant halls Then this one is for you If children playing all around To you is noise not pleasant sound And you'd be lost on the playground Then this one is for you All alone the life you lead A silent diner where you feed You bow your head pretend to read Then this one if for you Slip past strangers in the street There's no one that you care to meet Longing for your TV seat this one is for you If you're just staring at your walls If you're just staring at your walls And this one is for you If you're just staring at your walls If you're just staring at your walls And this one is for you this one is for you this one is for you this one is for you..... |

Listen as she speaks to you
hear the voices flutter through the barriers arranged by you. Close the shutters draw the shades Filter out the everglades Glistening with evening dew Thunder calls through waterfalls Rising tide and ocean walls I can hear you when you sigh Listen as she speaks to you Hear the voices flutter through watch them and let them lie I can hear you when you sigh Through the water in the sky. Thunder calls through waterfalls Rising tide and ocean walls I can hear you when you sigh Listen as she speaks to you Hear the voices flutter through Through the water in the sky. Through the water in the sky. Through the water in the sky. |

The circus is the place for me with bears
and clowns and noise I love the shiny music that descends from overhead Gordon knew the moment when the stars all turned around But from that vantage point I frowned If life were easy and not so fast I wouldn't think about the past. I can't forget to turn the earth so both sides get their share of darkness and of light So now I wander over grounds of light and heat and sound and mist provoking dreams that don't exist A circus of light where dreams can take flight In the peacefulness dreaming dreams brings If life were easy and not so fast I wouldn't think about the past.... |

I've been wading in the velvet sea
I've been wading in the velvet sea I've been wading in the velvet sea I've been wading in the I've been wading in the I've been wading in the velvet sea I've been wading in the velvet sea I've been wading in the velvet sea I've been wading in the I've been wading in the I've been wading in the velvet sea I've been wading in the velvet sea I've been wading in the velvet sea I've been wading in the I've been wading in the I took a moment from my day wrapped it up in things you say mailed it off to your address you'll get it pretty soon unless The packaging begins to break and all the points I tried to make are tossed with thoughts into a bin time leaks out my life leaks in you won't find moments in a box and someone else will set your clocks I took a moment from my day wrapped it up in things you say and mailed it off to you |

and all throughout I gaze and glimpse you
loving never did convince you I see you when you're all alone it's like a person I've not known the moment ends though I feel winds blowing differently than ever before and they're pushing me further from shore a frothy cap the steady slap of lines against the rail a biting rain take in the main up the rigging take in sail mind the skipper we'll not fail he'll bring out wine all will be fine just hear the order watch the sail the moment ends |

a silent bird / a raging tide a mountainside
an open door / looming from the surf a whispered word / a steady wind as we began and then no more / to close in on the earth |
