I'm floating in the blimp a lot
I feel the feeling I forgot of swimming weightless in the womb or bouncing gently 'round the room In a minute I’ll be free and you’ll be splashing in the sea I feel no curiosity I see the path ahead of me in a minute I'll be free and you'll be splashing in the sea we'll hear a tiny cry as the ship goes sliding by free free I'm floating in the blimp a lot I feel the feeling I forgot I'm floating in the blimp a lot I feel the feeling I forgot free... |

I was taught a month ago
to bide my time and take it slow then I learned just yesterday to rush and never waste the day I'm convinced the whole day long that all I learn is always wrong and things are true that I forget but no one taught that to me yet I ought to see the man Mulcahy I was taught a month ago to bide my time and take it slow then I learned just yesterday to rush and never waste the day I'm convinced the whole day long that all I learn is always wrong and things are true that I forget but no one taught that to me yet I ought to see the man Mulcahy .. I .. I ought to see the man Mulcahy |

don't want to be an actor, pretending on the stage
don't want to be a writer with my thought out on the page don't want to be a painter 'cause everyone comes to look don't want to be anything where my life's an open book a dream it's true but I'd see it through if I could be.. wasting my time with you don't want to be a farmer, working in the sun don't want to be an outlaw, always on the run don't want to be a climber, reaching for the top don't want to be anything where I don't know when to stop a dream it's true but I'd see it through if I could be.. wasting my time with you so if I'm inside your head don't believe what you might have read you'll see what I might have said to hear it come waste your time with me come waste your time with me ... so if I'm inside your head don't believe what you might have read you'll see what I might have said to hear it come waste your time with me come waste your time with me come waste your time with me come waste your time with me ... |

I'm up and I can take what you give
And I'm here but I don't want you to live with me 'Cause all I want is a taste for free I'm down and I will drag you along and around Until you burst into song and unwind And leave your new life behind for a while Cause I can see through the lines Cause I can see through the lines I'm down and I will drag you along and around Until you burst into song and unwind And leave your new life behind for a while I'm out and I will stay here alone and without Someone controlled by the phone and TV 'Cause what it's doing to me is fine Cause I can see through the lines Cause I can see through the lines Oooh oooh Step into space Oooh oooh Alter my place Oooh oooh That someone else made Why I have stayed Into things I could be Or if I could see Into fog that surrounds And pins me to the ground I can see through the lines I can see through the lines I can see through the lines I can see through the lines |

I can't talk my talk with you
Nothing's ever soaking through The filter that surrounds your thoughts And holds out lessons left untaught I can't talk my talk with you Nothing's ever soaking through The filter that surrounds your thoughts And holds out lessons left untaught I can't talk my talk with you I can't sing my song with you Nothing's ever soaking through The filter that surrounds your thoughts And holds out lessons left untaught I can't sing this song with you Nothing's ever soaking through The filter that surrounds your thoughts And holds out lessons left untaught I can't sing my song with you I can't talk my talk with you |

I feed from the bottom you feed from the top
I live upon morsels you happen to drop and coffee that somehow leaks out of your cup If nothing comes down then I'm forced to swim up On the way upwards the colors come back, but all on the bottom is blue, gray and black, the darkness is cold and perception goes wrong and the night seems to go on incredibly long so I ask you why if I'm swimming by don't you see anything you'd like to try? .. pantomime mixtures of heaven and earth, jumbled events that have less than no worth time in the forest to dig under rocks float on the ocean and sleep in a box or sink just below all the churning and froth and swim to the light-source, or fly like a moth so toss away stuff you won't need in the end but keep what's important - and know who's your friend so I ask you why if I'm swimming by don't you see anything you'd like to try? ... |

All the way home we felt we had a chance
To review the coulds before we were born And to invite a new game of cant’s Absorbed in the clouds, a voice from afar said, “With the right device you can make a pattern grow or you can tune up your car” So we stayed on the train admiring the time As the lights of the city drew near We drank a little wine They were blurry and green, outer space in between, With a depth and a form unclear Then we saw it up ahead A flickering lantern lit up on the tracks In the rugs that had covered up the bridge From the banks of a river to the bed of a valley upstream to the place where you live The glass from the lantern cast back the sight of a drive-in movie we drove by below We saw where we’d been in the pictures within, Projecting all the places we would go So we followed the scene and flowed up your steps To a smooth wooden floor in a trance The train whistle melody wove through the trees and in through the door to signal the turns of a dance |

Tumbling greens
A pickup screams Alone above the square Oh sing softly Above the trees Where Billy breathes We float upon the air Oh.. softly sing sweet songs Softly sing sweet songs Softly sing sweet songs Silent scenes in motion means I’ll wake you when we’re there Oh sing softly Time, it seems in broken dreams To sleep beside the stair Oh.. softly sing sweet songs Softly sing sweet songs Softly sing sweet songs .. Softly sing sweet songs.... |

Much ado is all I see
And feel like it's surrounding me The crowd intrudes all day 'Til I'm finally swept away I'm finally swept away I'm finally swept away I'm finally swept away I'm finally swept away I'm finally swept away I'm finally swept away |

Much ado is all I see
(although my roots were deep) In fact it is surrounding me The seething crowd intrudes all day (I sank in hillsides deep) Until I'm finally swept away Although I thought my roots were deep (the rivers that erode) I sank them into hillsides steep And riverbanks that soon erode (and canyons overflow) And canyons that have overflowed |

Oh, to be Prince Caspian afloat upon the waves
Oh, to be Prince Caspian afloat upon the waves Oh, to be Prince Caspian afloat upon the waves Oh, to be Prince Caspian, With nothing to return to but the demons in their caves Oh, to be Prince Caspian afloat upon the waves Oh, to be Prince Caspian afloat upon the waves Oh, to be Prince Caspian afloat upon the waves Oh, to be Prince Caspian, And the children in the fields all sowing seed and chaffing wheat Oh, to be Prince Caspian with stumps instead of feet Oh to be Prince Caspian Oh to be Prince Caspian Oh to be Prince Caspian |
