Leonardo'S Bride

Don't be confused by my apparent lack of ceremony,
my mind is clear.
I may be low or miles high off in the distance,
I want you near.
I love you
even when I'm sleeping.
when I close my eyes you're everywhere.
and if they take me flying on the magic carpet,
see me wave.
if our communication fails I'll reconnect it,
I want to rave.
I love you
even when I'm sleeping.
when I close my eyes you're everywhere.
no matter where the road is leading us
remember don't be afraid.
we have a continent that sometimes comes between us,
that's ok.
I love you
even when I'm sleeping.
when I close my eyes you're everywhere

Lewis carroll would have loved you.
Hey buzz
There's a cloud around the room now.
I am so so sorry, I am so so sorry.
Hey buzz
This town doesn't hold me anymore.
Hey buzz
Come on over here with me.
Hey buzz
You just sit there are you happy?
We are running low, we are running low.
Counting crosses on the wall
Marking the days
This scene is fading, this scene is fading.
Hey buzz
This town doesn't hold me anymore.
Hey buzz
Funny how we ended up here.
Hey buzz
We will find our lucky feet again
Just around the corner, just around the corner
Counting crosses on the wall
Marking the days.
This scene is fading, this scene is fading
Hey buzz
Lewis carroll sure will love you.

Strange news from another star is floating around.
Now I know why when I try to stand up I fall down.
There walks a giant and the earth is just a stone in his shoe.
Believe me baby when I tell you we are so brand new.
How can anything be of importance.
Embrace confusion when it's making sense.
If you have a moment I know what we could do.
Go bathing in the glory of it baby we are so brand new.
You already know what you need to know
You know it's all in your mind.
Any hour any moment could well be the first.
Our love is wide spread across the universe.
Leave your window open and all your dreams come true.
I can feel it coming baby we are so brand new

You've been kissing bedrock I can tell
By the way you carry round the world
On your shoulders high,
Ever wonder why.
The only way to go is up from here.
You've been kissing bedrock I can see
By the way you walk straight through me,
Staring at your shoes nothing else to lose.
The only way to go is up from here.
You will come around,
You will come around,
Soon enough you'll laugh about it.
You will come around, you will come around.
What could have ever shot you down.
You've been kissing bedrock that's ok
Let the moon go on her wicked way.
Dust yourself off now,
Time will tell somehow.
The only way to go is up from here

Stay another change of heart,
Stay another memory,
Stay another great expectation,
Stay another late movie.
Stay another rush of blood,
Stay another shooting star,
Stay another revolution,
Stay another fallen czar.
Stay another spin of the bottle.
Stay another night of holding on,
Stay another sweet inspiration,
Stay another love song.

Hey hey my friend
You're upside down again.
My my your hair's a mess
Now it's anybody's guess.
Funny how life can be a desperation.
You don't have to go for that.
Hey hey my friend,
Whose hands are on the wheel.
Are they taking you for a ride
Or are you just too numb to feel
The knives in your back
The thorn in your side.
You don't have to go for that.
There's a school of thought,
There's a bull in a china shop,
There's a bird in a cage,
There's a penny that wants to drop.
Is this what you want?
Hey hey my friend guess
I'll be seeing you round now.
When it happens again,
When you feel it drag you down,
You don't have to swallow it everytime.
You don't have to go for that.

Now I've said all I wanted to say,
Try to sleep, something just won't go away,
Not alone, there's a party of ghosts in my bed.
These times are so twisted, busted,
There's no rhyme nor reason.
So I stare at a photo a friend of mine sent
From new york, she's finding it hard paying rent,
Out of sorts, looks like everybody's feeling the same.
The camel's back is bending
But it hasn't broken yet.
Everything's turning upside down
Where will it end?
Yes hello hello I see
The titanic has sunk again.
So I ride to wherever it is I will lay
As I read from the book of mercy everyday,
Understand where this parade is headed for.
Do what you want to do boy,
Sleep whenever you can,
Everything's turning upside down,
Where will it end?
Yes hello hello I see
The titanic has sunk again.

So there I was at the party
And everybody seemed to be so well rehearsed.
Come the time to play my part I tried
But I couldn't find the page
I stumbled through the scene
And out the door onto the street
And off the stage
Now I'm thinking of marcel marceau.
Marcel why is it so?
In the problematic art of conversation
I'm sitting down to t.v.
Almost every waking moment of my time
Now I find I eat I sleep I dream in hour episodes.
It sure is hard remembering the names of everyone I meet
So pardon me but who are you and am I wrong
But are you talking to me?
In the problematic art of conversation.
So I watch the prince and princesses of prose
Pissing in pockets everyday
And it only makes me think of oscar wilde
And the fickleness of pop,
Popularity,
If I had a silver tongue I would have sold it long ago
While poetry is dandy,
There are handier collectables.
In the problematic art of conversation.

I wish I was a little clearer,
I'm slipping into the slipstream,
I feel just like a falling angel,
I dreamed last night I was lost at sea.

CHORUS
Don't fall for me,
Cause I'm already down
I'm already down

I've made friends with a Boa Constrictor,
I've lost my feet in the undertow,
And the mirror's just like a matrioshka doll,
and the big black clouds are out on show.

CHORUS

I don't understand *2

Now I'm screaming underwater,
And morpheus won't let me sleep.
The meloncholy dawn birds sing to me,
i'm getting used to their company.

CHORIS
(fade to end)

Wednesday girl, wednesday boy
Comes around in the morning
Stepping lightly,
Taking coffee in the garden
Where the sunflowers inspire you
To paint a picture,
Write a letter.
Wednesday girl, wednesday boy,
Lunch is brie
And a little wine and music
On the sofa,
Soon enough siesta
Now you're finally with the one you love.
Wednesday girl, wednesday boy.
Nothing demanding here,
There's an understanding here,
No mind for matters permanent.
Step out
On another perfect afternoon for walking
Back to the tower
Where the battle rages on
Armed with love.

Hey what's your problem?
You make me so uneasy.
Have you ever thought about it.
Everything's so black and white to you.
Do you wake up every morning
Cursing the colour of your skin,
There's nothing you can do about it.
I got to stop running into you.
We had a conversation
But you were talking to yourself.
I just happened to be standing there,
I could've been a fishbowl on a shelf
And it's a crying shame
Cause I've done all I can do.
You're living in an ancient fortress,
You're letting nothing new come through.
Hey mister bluesky,
You're looking grey,
Your face is flushed but it's never red.
There's a shadow hanging over your head.
You could be a buddha baby
To be free where you belong,
There's never any misconceptions
When everything you know is wrong
And it's a brave new world,
It's a carousel come true.
That's why it gets me down
Sitting here listening to you.
Hey mister bluesky
You're looking grey
Your face is flushed but it's never red.
There's a shadow hanging over your head.

Everybody wants to take you home
You sat on your bed and cried
I wrap myself round you
You and your stupid pride.
Ditch the dark angel
Climb up on this pedestal.
Everybody wants to take you home
We stepped across the line
Now pleasure's a crown of thorns
And pain is a valentine.
Sometimes we have to learn
When to let the bridges burn.
Why do you want to be
Where no-one can find you


Nobody knows you
Set all your ghosts free
The house is so haunted
Is this what you wanted ?.
Everybody wants to take you home
You try to live up to that
You feel like you're falling short
Like a washed up acrobat.
Mirror mirror on the wall
Raise your arm against it all.

To build a fire isn't always easy
In a storm but you can try
Just when I was thinking what's an eskimo to do
Something in the fog says I can find my way with you
The walls are white
The room feels bigger than is
On into the night
The wind will be whistling a tune
Just when I was thinking what's an eskimo to do
Something in the fog says I can find my way with you
Sun in my alaska


Sun in my alaska
Time to go outside
Time to read the writing on the wall
Facing up to this
I kiss the light
Colder than a polar bear this much is true
Just when I was thinking what's an eskimo to do
Something in the fog says I can find my way with you

You stop yourself before you start
No-one is allowed inside you
The desert of your heart
The one I want to ride through
Let me come over
If you want to shoot the moon
If you want to sail for the sun
If you want to shake the monkey
Baby, I'm the one
Let me come over


I like how you're holding out
For who I wonder
I like your easy blush
And when you swing your wrecking ball
Down like thunder
Baby I can take the crush
Let me come over

Throw me down your ladder I'll climb up
Searching for a hole in the sky
I was always looking for places to hide
I was down I was done over
You pushed me off the edge of my star
When all I tried to do was grow lillies in my palm
I have turned every stone
I have shaken every tree
Holding on, letting go
I had to push my begging bowl
Where's the truth?
Where's the love?
Where were you?
Now there are sparkles on the pavement


The stars are reaching down for me
It was deep inside my heart in the darkness
I began to see
I have turned every stone
I have shaken every tree
Holding on, letting go
I had to push my begging bowl
Where's the truth?
Where's the love?
Where were you?

There's a boy, there's a boy
He really turns my world
Round and round.
Can we be, can we be
Like two birds in a tree
Free and found ?
Who's to know which way it will go.
Sister sun, sister sun
You know who is the one
To brighten your sky.


Mister moon, mister moon
Yeh you in your balloon
Don't let it all go by.
Who's to know which way it will go.
My dreamship.
Run baby run, grab whatever you can.

Somebody made the wheel
Someone said what's the point
Critics come and critics go
The faithless follow fashion mister
Don't you know
Whatever you've got under your hat
You'll need a whole lot more than that.
This reminds me
Of all the reasons why I hated school
It seemed so black and white I mean
Every moment had a rule
Maybe that's why I see red
Boy you're such a sleepyhead
I wonder what will ever wake you up


The bells of a thousand firetrucks
I sure hope that one day you wake up
Sleepyhead
Higher higher even higher
Don't stop till my head is way up
In the clouds
I don't feel any different
But you sure seem so much smaller now
The door is always open wide
If you ever want to climb inside.

I lost the bow you tied round my finger
Somewhere on the trail
I threw in my hand for a heart full of holes
I rode through the night thinking of you
And whatever it was
I couldn't pin down or tame
Or lay blame at the feet of.
This is not the end
It's just another scene
Blue gone green


I let you go
Like a balloon at the fairground
I ran after you
Saw all the signs saying give up the ghost
But I know there's more to the picture
I've got a good feeling

He got a tattoo of her name
He only met her yesterday
Always in a rush that boy
He always reads the last page first
He's always cutting to the chase
Always in a rush that boy
Like a bee
Like a bear in honey


Here he comes
There he goes again
Don't play hide and seek with him
He never counts to ten
Always in a rush that boy

Sand in my eyes sand in my hair
Sand in the places I never knew
People are cruel when they want to be
They turn into monsters
Out of the sea
You're not like all of the rest
You're always smiling and waving
When I was younger I was sure
I could fly above it all
I remember looking down
But I'm so tied up
To the ground now
You're not like all of the rest


You're always smiling and waiving
Can I be sonic too ?
Stars in my eyes stars in my hair
Stars and footprints in the air
Could I ever be that tall
Wrapped up in this mortal coil ?
You're not like all of the rest
You're always smiling and waiving
Who catches you when you're falling ?

The caravans are rolling out
On the closing day
I see you standing in the crowd
I want so much to say
If I don't look as lost as you
It's just because I've learnt to hide it
Walking the tightrope everynight
That was all we ever needed to know
I love you honey but the season is over


Where are you going ?
My conscious is up and down
I'm a human cannonball
I don't feel so holy now
Have I ever been at all ?
