You stand in the doorway
A block up the street Ringing the doorbell There’s tapping of feet High yellow hair And a worn brown suit Enter and break the news Now tell me the story I give it the time No need to worry Everything’s fine I’ll take you away From the name-calling scene Sure, you can bring your magazine Cold and windblown on the old bandstand You and I walking hand in hand A neon-glow shining down on us Don’t wait up for us, don’t wait up for us Now tell me the story I’ll give it the time When you stop looking Then you will find I’ll take you away From this name-calling scene Just bring your magazine Cold and windblown on the old bandstand You and I walking hand in hand A neon-glow shining down on us Don’t wait up for us, don’t wait up for us Cold and windblown on the old bandstand You and I walking hand in hand A neon-glow shining down on us Don’t wait up for us, don’t wait up for us Don’t wait up for us, don’t wait up for us |

You search your mind
That’s what it’s there for Check all the whys And all the wherefores In your mind You’re tall and brave Riding the crest Of a high and beautiful wave You make your movements known And where you want to be And everybody knows That’s how it’s got to be In the sheltered morning sun In the sheltered morning sun Internally You make your own rules You’ll have excuses The ones that you choose In the end You deem unsafe Riding the crest Of a high and beautiful wave You make your movements known And where you want to be And everybody knows That’s how it’s got to be In the sheltered morning sun In the sheltered morning sun There comes a time You don’t even know what’s missing Some sugar to make the pill go down You need a line A push in the right direction Some sugar to make the pill go down True True to form True to pre- Existing norms Truly wasted At a rave Riding the crest Of a high and beautiful wave Riding the crest Of a high and beautiful wave You make your movements known And where you want to be And everybody knows That’s how it’s got to be In the sheltered morning sun In the sheltered morning sun In the sheltered morning sun In the sheltered morning sun In the sheltered morning sun |

Empty glass
Gets another round Squeaky chair Makes another sound There is a gentle breeze Playing in your hair Come take a bow While you’re still all there It’s what it is It’s what it was And what will be here After us There is no memory There’s no recall No recollections At all Your dark glasses Sliding down your nose Now bring these proceedings To a close It’s what there is It’s what it was It’s what will be here After us Your dark glasses Sliding down your nose Now bring these proceedings To a close It’s what it is It’s what it was And what will be here After us It’s what there is It’s what it was And what will be here After us You can make it all worthwhile You can lend yourself some style You can give them all the reasons All the facts that you have seasoned You can hear them hoot and holler As you come across a scholar You can set your name in lights You can make two wrongs a right You can make it all worthwhile You can lend yourself some style You can give them all the reasons All the facts that you have seasoned You can hear them hoot and holler As you come across a scholar You can set your name in lights You can make two wrongs a right |

Keep your clever lines
Hold your easy rhymes Silence everything Silence always wins It’s a perfect alibi There’s no need to analyse It will be all right Through the longest night Just silence everything But we could live by the foot of a mountain We could clear us a yard in the back Build a home by the foot of the mountain We could stay there and never come back Learn from my mistake Leave what others take Speak when spoken to And do what others do Silence always wins So silence everything It will be all right In the morning light Just silence everything But we could live by the foot of a mountain We could clear us a yard in the back Build a home by the foot of the mountain We could stay there and never come back We could stay there and never come back You know it We could leave tonight But we could live by the foot of a mountain We could make us a white picket fence Build a home by the foot of the mountain We could stay there and see how it ends Yes, we could stay there and see how it ends We could stay there and see how it ends |

The shadowside you say I have
Is making everything go bad You say I don’t care enough For all the things that I have got But I do And I will I don’t want to see myself descend Into the shadowside again If you ever let me go again In the shadowside I’ll end The shadowside where I go I’m never where I’m needed so You say I don’t give enough That I don’t care for all I’ve got But I do And I will I don’t want to let myself descend Into the shadowside again If you’re letting go of me again In the shadowside But I do And I will Yes, I will I don’t want to let myself descend Into the shadowside again If you’re letting go of me again In the shadowside I’ll end In the shadowside I’ll end |

The lights change on the hill
The air seems strangely still Everyone’s asleep The floorboards creak at dawn As you walk out on the lawn The grass is wet beneath You think it rather strange You think it rather weird It’s fair to say that Nothing is keeping you here Nothing is keeping you here Nothing is keeping you here The phone is off the hook As you sink into a book You don’t know where you are From the world; detached Unto a girl you latched It never got too far And everybody stares And everybody cares It’s fair to say that Nothing is keeping you here Nothing is keeping you here Nothing is keeping you here And everybody talks And everybody stares You knew your day to shine Would come without you here Come without you here Nothing was keeping you here Here Nothing is keeping you here |

Wrong
You never got it wrong You always got it right But now some time has passed You’re ever so slightly off Things you could do asleep In a not too distant past Are trying your patience harder now And though Everything moves along You hope that the rumour’s wrong That Mother Nature goes to heaven Right You never got it right It always got away When you had it nailed It was ever so slightly off Sending you somewhere else Than where you had to be Making it that much harder now And though You’re struggling to get on track It pales somewhat to the fact That Mother Nature goes to heaven And there will be no sadder day When all the birds have flown away Are trying your patience harder now And though Everything moves along You hope that the rumour’s wrong That Mother Nature goes to heaven Mother Nature goes to heaven |

You can run through every forest
You can sail on the seven seas You can climb the highest mountain To try and dissolve these memories In case you never knew it You can’t undo it You can jump off the edge of the world Hide out in some monastery Lose your mind in meditation And never put your mind at ease You think you’re running to it But you're wading through it A sunny mystery You think you’re running to it But you're wading through it A sunny mystery A sunny mystery Life is the dream that you wake up to Dreams are the life from which you wake Everybody makes the extra effort Never knowing what to do You thought you know the answer Yeah, you know the score It feels just like before It’s a sunny mystery That’s how it’s got to be Because no one knows for sure The outcome of this sunny mystery |

Start the simulator
Controllers, listen up What’s your status, Guidance? Let’s take it from the top Coming up on docking The beginnings of a tear Clearing the tower We take to the air Start the simulator Give your tanks a stir The bright ejecta blanket All is still a blur Switch to Omni Bravo B bus under volt Roll right to zero Steady as she goes We’re going to fly so high Into the rendered sky We’re going to be all right Inside the endless night Start the simulator I.S.O. valves are grey E.D.S. to manual Translation looks okay Save it for the splash-down Things you want undone You’re in command now Your home away from home You’re in control now Now you’re on your own Now you’re on your own |
