Dreams
Inconsistent angel things Horses bred with star-laced wings But it's so hard to make them fly, fly, fly These wings Beat the night sky 'bove the town One goes up and one goes down And so the chariot hits the ground, bound, bound We have forgotten (don't try to make me fly) How it used to be (I'll stay here, I'll be fine) How it used to be (don't go and let me down) How it used to be (I'm starting to like this town) When wings beat the night sky 'bove the ground When I unwillingly shoot them down With all my petty fears and doubts, down, down? REFRAIN We have forgotten (am I in love with this?) How it used to be (my constant broken ship) How it used to be (don't go I'll shoot you down) How it used to be (I'm starting to like this town) REFRAIN |

This is my forty fifth
depressing tune They're looking for money as they clean my artistic womb And when I give birth to the child I must take to flight 'Cause the black in our pocket won't let us fight A proper fight So hey baby Can you shed some light on the problem maybe 'Cause we're all tired and we'd like to know If we should pack our tents shut down the show Yes we should like to see a burning bush type sign But anything would be fine We're all told to dance we never picked the tune Hanging like puppets they feed us from bent steel spoon But we're sealing our lips for the someday when the needle And the violet l was songs of the pain Songs that explain All our circles and strains So hey baby Can you shed some light on the problem maybe 'Cause we're all crying and we'd like to know If we should pack our tents shut down the show Yes we should like to see a burning bush type sign But anything would be fine We're all dying and we'd like to know If we should pack our tents shut down the show Yes we should like to see a burning bush type sign And we should like to see you pack your tents shut down your show And we should like to see a burning bush type sign But anything would be fine Oh anything would be fine |

Fight 'til your fists bleed,baby
Beat the fate-walls en closing you,maybe God will unlock the cage of Learning for you Fight 'til your fists bleed,baby Kick and scream at the wicked things ,maybe God will unlock the door You need to walk through When will it happen,baby? It could be near,but then maybe it could be far, Here we are in the waiting room of the world We will wait until you call our names out loud, In the waiting room of the world We will wait until you call our names out loud, And the battle will never end well You can't marry out heaven to your hell We Prolific,and you ,the Devourer ,need to see Some things are sacred,baby Why have you gone and Trampled them lately? I guess it's just all a part of your way You should be ashamed I'm getting tired of fighting I guess I should ask Do I go quiestly down? Do I kick,Do I scream when I'm bound? Are you coming to open the door? Are you near?Are you near? Is it far? Here we are in the waiting room Of the world, We will wait until you call our names out loud |

You and the moon are a beautiful sight to me.
The stars in your eyes make it really hard to see you. A night in the sun is all I really want. You and me with the best of both for once. Night breaks. My heart could not ache anymore. Am I that easy to ignore? You let your song blow right through me. Your mighty intellect makes you mighty hard to see. Will there come a time for me to be more to you, more to me? Night breaks. My heart could not ache anymore. Am I that easy to ignore |

El viento de la noche gira en el cielo y canta
El viento de la noche gira en el cielo (The night wind revolves in the sky and sings. The night wind revolves in the sky.) Oir la noche inmensa mas inmensa sin ella. Y el verso cae al alma como al pasto el roc?. (To hear the immense night still more immense without her. And the falls to the soul like dew to the pasture.) Tonight I can write the saddest lines, The saddest lines about her |

so brittle, unfertile, and ready to die I need a drink but the well has gone dry And we in the habit of saying the same things all over again, for the money we shall make This is the last song that I'll write 'til you tellme otherwise. And it's because I just dont feel it This is the last song 'til you tell me otherwise.

Leaves are falling,
and something's calling me here. The state of depression That I'm walking in, got the impression that I won't stay here long I know I am like this, but still I don't know what to do. The sky is darkening, I can feel it in the air. My heart is sinking. I know winter's on its way I know I am like this, but still I dont know what to do. I know Iam like this. Oh sister, show me what to do I know there's a way to get this another day When will I know if there's a way for me? I want to lie in the sand and have the sun shine on me. Is that way too much to ask? |

It has gotten to my head. Permeates the path I tread.
But I tread I'm moving on in a new and happy song. I can sing about the night how my tunnel without light Led me to the other side where the sky is blue. It's all I can do to not let them ruin me. I will not let them ruin me. I will not let them ruin me again. There is fire inside the tree. Flames of knowing kissing me. I have waited long to see a sign from you. It's all I can do to not let them ruin me. I will not let them ruin me. I will not let them ruin me again |
