Lyrics

The Land of the Dragons
in the land of the dragons, I woke up, I woke up
but I pray for a better home, and the connection, I know that I am worth
so you can kill me, you can stab me, but you’ll never make me angry
cos it’s all I have left, ain’t got nothing left, it’s the thing that I like best
so much more is better than revenge

well I was aimin’, for the world and (they) said they would feel me
but if I’m not scared, but i say I’m scared
it gets me out of my head and to you, and to you, and to you…
so you can kill me, you can stab me, but you’ll never make me angry
cos it’s all I have left, ain’t got nothing left, it’s the thing that I like best
so much more is better than revenge

the thing you think I do not know, I figured it out long ago
and I forgive you heart and soul, cos anger don’t look good on me, no

so you can kill me, you can stab me, oh but you’ll never make me angry
cos it’s all I have left, and I ain’t got nothing left, it’s the thing that I like best
so much more is better than revenge

in the land of the dragons, I woke up, I woke up
not angry, that’s not me, baby that’s you


Spies
you and your spies
but things can’t be rebuilt upon a lie
and truth be told I’d do the same as well
for who is pure to keep their fingers still
just willing them to feel the way you feel?

spies, they look through me with guilty eyes and I, I feel like it’s three years ago again tonight
but I, I wish I was a better man than the one I am, how I, I don’t even deserve your spies

you, you came around and pushed your way into
‘n how you broke my heart and left me in the dark
you stole all that I had to call it art
and so I stole away to keep our lives apart

spies, they look through me with guilty eyes and I, I feel like it’s three years ago again tonight
but I, I wish I was a better man than the one I am, how I, I don’t even deserve your spies

it’s hard in love, to share it all
and I know I’m the worst, at going first
but if you only knew the sin I was born in
my own personal hell, and I’m not gonna let it hurt you as well, hurt you as well
so really don’t have to spy, because I’ll tell you what spies would find
I thought you saw it in my eyes, on the day that we had, said our goodbyes
as good as could be a goodbye
as good as could be a goodbye

you and your spies, you and they such better hearts than mine
I wish that I was strong, yeah I would have simply just become
the person that I know that you will find

and how I wished I were a better man than the one I am
how I, I don’t even deserve your spies


Bitter and Alone

one more broken son
crowds the pile out the back
the rivers carry our bodies, to the heart of the city

but I don’t buy into the dream
our values are top down, it’s so easy to see
in fact I’d prefer to be at home,
I’m just bitter and alone

made a pact with the sky
who said it’d quit smokin’ if I tried something new tonight
but the shinin’ light above
burnt some memories into me
and I decided to leave, the clouds where they wanted to be

but I’m not, an expert on things
nor in touch with my feelings
in fact I’d prefer to be at home
yeah I’m just bitter and alone, I’m bitter and alone

but maybe the world is right, and I’m wrong
I must keep my mind open, cos there’s a reason for everything
and there is some good, you just have to see it
and is it my ego, or something much more pure, that makes me want to change the world, into how I’ve seen when so many who have come before, with their grand vision, and fucked up it for everyone, so I’ll just keep on singing, but only to myself, oh

and it’s all only my fears
and it’s all only my fears
I’m just bitter and alone
I’m trying to find a way home, to love


Away
until you’ve lost, everything, you can’t run away
desperadoes, they always fare, better in the end

come in alone and it’s easy to see
come in, our lovin’, regret it, you are now
all I know is that you’ve run away, oh for the time

where the people on the streets submit the rules
and that isn’t funny at all, but we’ve got something in our master plans
someday killers open fire, but I’m running back

to the camp solo, when love had turned so wrong, when you’d run
run away, no, the lows encourage truth, divide it and you know that this, we should not do, so we ran away, away

and up against the odds, that you used to play
but you can’t beat the house when you learn it’s a game too late,
so I’ve made my bet, there’s no turning from it, let a new day begin, cos I’m all in

with the camp solo, when love had turned so wrong, when you’d run
run away, no, the lows encourage truth, divide it and you know that this, we should not do, so we ran away, away

now that you’ve lost everything you can run away, desperadoes they always fare, better in the end

but people run around inside, karma did it sooner remove you?
I wanted to know what it is, you can run away from, loving of the finest kind
I guess it’s something that you are, yeah, mmm


My Baby Don’t Know
let’s make a deal: set me on fire, and I’ll never tell
that you don’t know, right from wrong and now the whole world’s gonna know what you’ve done

and in the first place, who could imagine, the world was not there, and petty thieves, mean nothing to me, because the whole world’s gonna know what you’ve done

my baby don’t know, she doesn’t know, nothing at all
my baby don’t know, she doesn’t know, nothing at all

and in the second place, all that was torn apart, was written to be, and all eyes turned, to exclamation, because the whole world’s gonna know what you’ve done

my baby don’t know, she doesn’t know, nothing at all
my baby don’t know, she doesn’t know, nothing at all

and you will find out that I was the one, who stood, where you said you would
too late to change the blood on your hands, and now the whole world’s gonna know what you’ve done!

and in my head, hid in my hands, my only thought
my baby don’t know, she doesn’t know, nothing at all
my baby don’t know, she doesn’t know, nothing at all
my baby don’t know, she doesn’t know, nothing at all


Cardiac
so many years they would come
lying doves enured your ears
making you sore, all of it
they break my heart
well don’t be careless in love, when you’re down

now she unlike me, is so composed
where I give in, is where she goes, and wise to all she teases me

yeah break my heart
but don’t be careless in love, when you’re down

and believe me when I say, I’d love to set us free
but our matching scars can tell, that love can hurt as well
so I said would you rather be alone?
than let your feelings show

now we both know
it’s getting late, to always play it safe
it’s common sense this way
but common sense would say

you’re so very beautiful, but you don’t feel it at all
you’re so very beautiful, but the world’s been so horrible
you’re so very beautiful, but you don’t feel it at all
you’re so very beautiful, but you don’t feel it at all

this could break our hearts,
and damn straight love don’t save, this I know now


Gentle Sky
what I’d give, to be understood, as I look back through debris
to be let go, of the burden, the change below

you know I tried to cash it in, lord knows it’s comin’ out
no matter what I do
and I try to reach out, but only cos I should, my love it’s just no good

to try to make, a difference, the war still in me
when only the skyline, knows I grieve, the rest just, they don’t see

that like a flower bloomin’ through
the cracks of concrete I know I’ll find the day
where even though I can’t, superman the earth back to the past
I would not want to anyway

nor try to make, a difference, the war still in me
when only the skyline knows I grieve, may a spark light up in me

so long, I’d fight to listen the war so loud for me
but how gentle the sky when, it saw I grieved, with love nor blood to bleed
nor help to bear, the distance between here and me
but oh for the skyline, my buoy in the sea
and it calls to me…

oh, oh, oh, it’s the simple things that you never think, they’re always there to see


First Man on Mars
my buddy will be the first man on mars
that’s good enough for him
see I did never want, to be at the front
with life is as it is

well I’ll see you on saturday, I heard a father say, by a broken home, where nobody spoke
from the plastic tomb, to the plunging harpoon, oh what on earth could save you?

so my buddy calls me, with tears in his voice
he doesn’t need to say
I say, “well I did never want, to be at the front”
he said, “well it’s your lucky day”

well I’ll see you on saturday, was all was left to say, on the telephone, then nobody spoke
from my earthly tomb, I’ll be plunging through, oh I guess I’ll be gone soon

cos there was nothing to leave behind
would you look into my soul, and tell me you don’t love me and I won’t come home

I’m not sure if it’s pink or red, but I can throw away the line
see I did never want to be at the front, but the view there is sublime

well, I’ll see you on saturday, you heard the speaker say, as we were comin’ home, yeah nobody spoke
in our metal tomb, as we plunged into blue, I finally didn’t miss you

cos there was nothing, to leave behind
would you look into my soul, and tell me you don’t love me and I won’t come home

well I was the first man on mars
I don’t know what it is
that makes me never want to be at the front
but I can tick mars off my list


Butterflies
over my fence, travel tames
ripples that couple, cobblestone roads unturned
how far can far, away be for real
offline cold into this land, loveless land

if I could fly or wade or drill
rip up the carpet, charm it and ride until
I’m with my friends, true victims, of life’s cruel and damning hand
gloveless and

here, we go, like butterflies I know, who still embark, you are the only one I wanted to hear from now

I feel my face, trouble tends
riposte that couplet quip I’ll stay rolling down
to forget all, a wind bleats a thrill
that i’ll find calling to me when I travel

and, oh

so here we go like butterflies I know, who still embark, you are the only one I wanted to hear from now
the only one I wanted to hear from now
but over my fence I better fly right now


Little Miracles
yesterday my guardian angel
he told me of the son, eternally I longed
that when my bubble had burst, he’d spare my lungs
and for all I have learned, he would not but…

again in my dreams, resumed dialogue
said, “humour me as to what kind of God,
walks out of the room when you need them the most?”

though cynical, I harkened him speak:

“here where pure names bind, alloyed and written in stone
though that’s where I’ll be found
like the dawn bears the day, or choirs sing in the rain
all my love is the same
it’s the same”

“then how holy the book, so held to the heart
too booksmart to beat when they came in the night?

it’s all well and good, to turn your cheek,
but I turned to you, when they turned on me, so what gives?”

“fear ne’er you’re made mine, alloyed and written in stone
though I serve the crown
and like the fawn falls as prey, or fires cinder the plain
all his love is the same
it’s the same”

and I wonder are you the same angel that watched did nothing
the watch deserted you, oh, oh

although my bubble burst, I swear my lungs
upon the following words, sweet breath’d come:

“dear fair sure-aimed sprite
alloyed and written in stone, so your tenets abound
but you were gone, scared away
or why it seemed this way?”
he said, “all my love is the same”
It’s the same

he said, “all my love is the same”


So Smiled Al Capone
up and over and round the bend
where i’ll be whistling to no end
tell torrio, sonny and mae I’ll break out of here someday

let’s go to miami
leave behind my bentley
maybe throw a party
see if they can catch me

blind as a bat cos big al sold you that
as a matter of benefactor I would rather be straight up crook
than a hunted man

hunted over, and round the bend
where I’ll be whistling, to no end
tell torrio, sonny and mae I’ll break out of here someday

then shipping to chicago
disappearing cargo
sent my loyal fellow
who got hit by frankie yale

no doubt about it that frankie’s gotta go
done caught stealing done as the day is now
and just like that, mob justice went

went over, and round the bend
where I’ll be whistling, to no end
tell torrio, sonny and mae I’ll break out of here someday

when two siciliana’s, was one too many gone
on silver salvers we’ll serve it cold
and cupid dropped his bow as seven men faced to the wall
our fake police just cut them to the floor…

folks by speakeasies
folks cashing out
but tell the folks I’m going away, I’m going away now
I’m going away now, oh

going over, and round the bend
where I’ll be whistling, to no end
tell torrio, sonny and mae I’ll break out of here someday
when I’ll be over, and round the bend
but always whistling, to no end
tell torrio, sonny and mae I’ll break out of here someday


Vanish
down by the river two footprints in the leaves, where she vanished, ‘sbeen
checking the dusk for ghosts again who’ve seen his candlelight
like all who pass him by…

well if you wanted to know
the few to whom he spoke, told me he used to raise the town
but one mistaken kiss, has led them both to this
one heavy gaze where she vanished

do you remember you wanted?
you wanted to be loved
cos I remember you vanished
you vanished into dust

and in a winter came a fare so seeking answers pawned his heirlooms to a witch who versed in curses saw it grim
said “I’ll do anything…”

“well if you wanted to know
look down below beneath your feet”
and there he fell
with corpses to the left, sleep the cerberus
an o his mouth, her ever near

do you remember you wanted?
you wanted to be loved
cos I remember you vanished
you vanished into dust

and after ten days, he came upon a cave wherein she lay, “oh my beloved, i’ve come to rescue thee”
she replied slowly

“well if you wanted to know
yeah I always felt your love my darling
but did you mean to send, my body away again
I think I’m right where I belong”

and then the witch came cackling down, and with these words
she sealed him there

“do you remember, you wanted?
you wanted to be loved
but in her place now, you’re banished
banished with the dust”

cos I remember you wanted
you wanted to be loved
though in your place now, I’m banished
it’s better that I should, too
for how I doomed my love to
as then the witch began to…


Can’t Hold On
bearded and dazed
I’ve crashed this ice moon’s face
but oh what fouls await
the so long lost at space?

where a white death seems, I can barely breathe, a white death seems

still I’m going out to face it on a limb
and I’ve paid my dues for something that I never did
father teach me all that I forgot
or just hold me when I can’t hold on

one forward two back
my steps, my guilt burns black
as the hole that spaceshipwrecked
all but me slower each breath…

for a frozen beast, I’m frozen feast, for a frozen beast

but still I’m going out to face him on a limb
and I’ve paid my dues for something that I never did
but father why should I have been the one
that escaped when now I can’t hold on

well ooh, by radio now, one thousand wolves inside me howl
well ooh, I’m sorry dear, over and out, I hope you hear, hear, hear…

son you must hold on
but the wolves are strong…
no, just hold on

I think I’ll go on out to face them on a limb
cos I’ve paid my dues it’s something that I never did
father may my mayday reach back home
or else hold me on the day I’m done when I can’t, I can’t hold on


The Merman Shanty
my comforts come, and I don’t know how
maybe ask my brother who rules the ocean
here he is now, bleeding to death

“oh brother bathed in red
water tell me who did- ”
“this? don’t stress your lazy fins
you’ve never done a thing”

crabs scatter, trident falls before me with a sailor’s sleeve! oh!

I’ve never been in a fight, but by atlantis I would smite
the queen’s entire navy, I’ll show them who’s lazy!

but then on my merry way, forward dark shape waved follow me
up, why would I trust a man, skull and crossbones on his hat…?

and he would grin, “at first you need to sing a song to excite us, and if it rocks we’ll take you on!”

so we sailed longer than the coat, that hid my tail and not a boat of royal make came through our path
I thought to leave ’til captain spoke:
“if you was diving for pearls, there’s better treasure worth your work”
said “I’ve my quest but name your price”, “mate you’ve long paid it,
you’re in here for life!”

further arctic we’d sail
on lightning whiskey and hail
storms that may not strike but still
peaceful eyed that they can kill

and we would sing the words to ease our strain aboard the wildness with a monster no one saw

and when we finally arrived
thar he lay clutching our prize
“say, what’s this pretty thing you’ve found?”
no less poseidon’s shiny crown
and I bore into his soul, with lust for murder in my own
he cried, “the navy’s got the rest”, oh they’re gonn’ wan’ see this!

so sailor on my back
heaving I scaled iceberg’s cap
and lo his ship you want this man?
or shall he walk my trident plank?

“you see our friend was cursed with greed and laid aloft, please take him, he’s a man we do not want!”

and so exhausted from the climb
vengeance burning in my mind
I could have begged for my old life, until came mercy, streaming from my eyes
“all that I ever hoped to do, is far less work than freeing you”
and then as I dived all gasped to see, homeward bound, a merman like me

now heed the king, returned to lead burying, the old, with a trident, there is much work to be done
and mirthfully who’d sing, this song, but pirates, ’bout the monster they took on?


Only Ever I
from my manor
I saw kind hearts, naïve
oh what I’ve seen
but then in a flash, I was bound with a cause of my own
crying at my door

ooh, better unborn, to lord or serf, when we’re all for ourselves

so I, I gave him away, though spare the child some blame
for his low caste, he didn’t do a thing, while in my life
was only ever I

and meeting my match
I was sure it would last until
to watch her leave
and then in a flash saw oft my own sword in a stone
hands slip the hilt

ooh, in a drunken fall, I feel the frost, upon the lawn

yeah I, I gave her away, please spare for me some blame
opportunities passed, and I didn’t do a thing, see in my life
was only ever I

and when the king came for his men
put the hamlet in the name
the mother of my child
the shame I leave behind

in war I dream, the man I’ve been

and I, I give him away, to spare the girl the blame
and spare it fast, she didn’t do a thing, enough is enough
it was only ever I, oh

and to my manor, my thoughts go on, go fast, until gone still


Edo Rose
well oh look at the bleeding edo rose, my sister she cries alone

all would come to see, the skilled samisen player
strum notes to the wind, intent to blow them afar

but none, these days come, for songs
the courts I tell this:

“well oh look at my sister the edo rose warm by the sun of long ago,
though ever does she fade in the changing world, moored in the mist, what can you do?”
ooh

“well we will hear this rose
but should she not light our lamps
you must both at once
leave edo and its new song

where none, these days come good on their word
eagerly…

we’ll look at the bleeding edo rose warm by the sun of long ago”
and ever did she soothe like sake smooth, “moored in the mist are we who, scant we can do….

cos oh, if you wanted to paint the sun redder than the one we’ve become, you’ll never be done”

and silent since then
sister’s dusty samisen
where she keeps her books
they brought across seas for us

and on these days run, like rime to thaw
through seasons

well oh look at the bleeding edo rose warm by the sun of long ago,
though ever did she glow in the willow world, clear went the mist she breathes through
but what can you do?

cos oh, if you wanted to paint the sun redder than the one we’ve become, you’ll never be done

but I still weep for the world I know japan’s sun has set finally
on the edo rose


Arabesque
when the march starts
it’s safest to hide
wherever you can much as

this house I tumbled in to find

her in arabesque in the morning, I felt so out of place
by a glamour they can march on all they like

but she called me near
arms forward to waltz
with holes in her sleeve she was

just like me so there amongst

the arabesque window turning, so too we turned with grace
and like the window she led me to forget the chills I fled

my family frets, best be returning
but bonaparte’s men had heard our carefree stomps
and come to watch

begged we’d resume
muskets undrawn, too
oh, all of my life I’ve wished

just to belong, just to a song

an arabesque so disarming, and then home I’d race
but I always dream of her, with she as me, but in…

in arabesque, I spin to rest
and close my eyes
and go back to my life


Rockhopper
rockhopper sits atop, chicks braying, “save me, save me”
red now as ever her eyes, pecking her young’s crests goodbye
she gotta go, where lantern fish rumoured to be
as skuas swoop and shriek
she dives into the deep

one chin up for the brood
suddenly becomes two
porpoising in search
but rockhopper only thinks of one

both swam through gone krill until further than ever before, wings flail in vain, afraid
through nets and wires, though hanging free said old gentoo
as gentoo bit them through
the lantern school he knew

but spoke of easy days
squid galore and shore prey
no sooner did he say
that rockopper had to swim, as one

on an ice floe in shame, she sleeps defeated in the gaze
of an orca making chase, but for gentoo come to say, “quick this way!”

“d. jones whispered to me, why your mate left you for a new family”
at that she swam into the light, covered in oil

“well smoother the snow south with you
but while it still may far too much rests on my plume”

rockhopper cuts across currents a small catch, brought back
barely enough to fledge, not least her own feathers fed
and then from stealth sprung forward the seal at ice foot dwelt
but fast past his upswell
she rocket, she rocket, she rocketed as well

and landed hopped the cliffs, saw tall things docked with their ships
rockhopper simply stared
and from the shore they stood, beheld
A rockhopper who knew all too well
yeah rockhopper you know all, too well


Revolutions
who tills the mir? who owns the land?
petition began
and with names, came word
of worker’s plans, a gypsy sang

that history is full of revolutions
now better you come, man I’m show you one

cos I see you, burning in the dark
ravens await the fake little heart
and I heard they turned your portrait to the wall
you speak for none at all

at winter palace, came slurs
I’d heard my whole life, but now wondered
why really these people came, the gypsy who had come explained,
as far as you have gone, you best beware, a greater power lies beyond
who choose our rulers, have always done, by lighting revolutions!

yeah I see them, burning in the dark
ravens await, their plain little hearts
cos although they turned a portrait to the wall
they speak for none at all

the stars wept down, as palace guards shot round after round
and we hid wondering how anyone, could write this kind of hell

so through the palace passage, this servant girl my petition I’d give
the people who make your food are dying, please, take this I beg of you
and matching her face to the painting behind
saw the princess herself and so terrified

and regal as great peter, only meeker, equal we were in our fates
if predetermined so the world is, best we love until the day

that we break through, burning in the dark
ravens await, our late little hearts
to stand and turn the portrait to the wall of who speak for none at all
and one day we’ll be burning in the dark
beacons aflame for brave little hearts
who choose to burn, fake portraits at the wall
a people spoken for

but ’til that day may dawn
my revolution’s mine alone


Estonia
dear child the world was not always as it is now
our flag our language, our peoples’ beaten brow
but you could hear it in the air the change had just begun, when we’d sung

and as we hollered homeland hymns I tried to think these things

but we fell in love in estonia, yeah
from riga through tallinn could never imagine what lay before us, oh

and you know the bad guys came for those who sang too loud
and in the madness wasn’t sure who made it out
neither of us knew that we were safe though we felt on that night
our hands a thousand hands apart, for all the world to marvel

and join so we might be able to say

that we fell in love in estonia, yeah
from riga through tallinn could never imagine what lay before us, oh

and whispers led me to vilnius
where we rejoined in arms
and you had just been born
when fate played cruelly on
oh how we fell, in heaven we’ll together dwell
but first let me write, to you my boy that everything will be alright

cos all of your fears you needn’t here in estonia, oh
and in your time you’ll see the plan for peace that had long begun
when we fell in love in estonia, yeah
from riga through tallin could never imagine what lay before us, oh

so read this dear and bury it here in estonia


The Sun Will Die
somewhere where there’s bold mis en scene
we never set foot, needless to say

and I warned him why, he’d take my hand at all
while i’m trying to begin to see at all:

all saviours have all yearned to be free
all saviours have all yearned to be free

and I warned him why, the sun will die alone
and I bleed this way, I’ve come undone, I know
cos I meant to stay, allemaine, beckon
and I meant to stay, allemaine, beckon

menacing, the man with no concern

and I warned him why, the sun will die alone
and I warned him why, the sun will die alone
and I warned him why, the sun will die alone
and I warned him why, the sun will die alone


Candles
how late, the soul might reawaken?
how oft, to disagree, that it’s childsplay

I can’t believe why it’s so very weak
to be so kind, in our own way

so I watch candles write your name
to me, it’s always flamed the same

but I wonder why, you didn’t receive the words I say
oh I’d never been in love, and I’m never gonna do it again


Lääke
pyhä yö
taittuu pois
en halua tietää, miten
ulkomainen herra
mitä siimaa olen kelannut!

ja ulkona, räntäsateessa
myrskyssä, myrskyn silmässä
enkä todellakaan…mene hänen kanssaan

kaikki mitä tiedän…on puu, joka kaatuu päälleni
kulta, elämä ja se, kuinka kauan on aurinkoa ei ole koskaan reilua.
se ei ole koskaan reilua.

olin rakastunut
aaltoihin täynnä valheita
jokainen palkintokoroke, jolla minua pidettiin
hei, anna minun pukeutua pahimpaan
näköalojen auringot
rehellisyys, on lääkettä, oi, odota

kaikki mitä tiedän…on puu, joka kaatuu päälleni
kulta, elämä ja se, kuinka kauan on aurinkoa ei ole koskaan reilua.
se ei ole koskaan reilua.

olin eksynyt ,yritin hengittää valoa
se on minun vastuuni, olin jo valmis köyteen
herra, minun on pakko
minun on pakko luvata, etten tekisi niin.
oh, yeah.


Prime
the wont to agree withdrew
that I can’t undo
I can’t erase

but I will of you, save
the only (one) that breathes, sane
unwilling you’d hear

oh no, the scenic south again
I’ll see you round again
sinai, rome

I cannot arraign
that which parts two ways
I cannot arraign
each sober pullaway

but I will of you, save
the only (one) that breathes, sane
unwilling you’d hear

oh well, whose art belies the source?
worse still, bereaves your way
I can’t bury the weight

it’s sundered akin

oh no, the scenic south again
i’ll see you round again
sinai, rome

but I will of you, save
the only (one) that breathes, sane
unwilling you’d hear


Kiosk Silica
I was left alight, I was left alight, in your wake
common beat away, path of early day, in your wake
I was left to my, kiosk silica, innocent
I can’t compare the wares, merchanting arrears, ever on…
a woe, so young
wilted horizon
all wane to wax on
aweigh, your anchor
end-up in the salt, I don’t even know, what to face
it’s time to make a move, ships of golden truss, another world
an icon will waste
in undersea’s maze
too long I lay…
it’s time to make a move, ships of golden truss, another world
as wise as you wray
all news its own freight


Zion
time was awry
zion stood still
all stood still
I was at arms

all because we had lost, all my troubles, hear my heart
all my troubles, hear my heart

we dither in the mine
and pick the axe that grinds
and all of zion’s iron
nothing to see for coming that far

all because we had lost, all my missions, hear my heart
Hear my heart, will of trouble

all these troubles, all these lies
all these troubles, all these lies

I was let away
some piquing breeze

and with that, saw me fly, to the north, there we are,
to the signs, lifts my beak
to the north, I will rain, I’m in trouble, don’t be late,
dear messiah, I will wait


Hello
such a living, wool-eyed wandering, oh
we had sunken, in pulses down from space, ah-ah

hello… I am waylaid here for you
hello… you’re the one that tides me to
hello… many nebulae have shone, to show
your face again…

oh, injustice is an honest bride
since I can’t live without your palisade
cos I remember when you’d forge a way
I remember when you’d forge a way

eh-eh-eh….

hello… I am waylaid here for you
hello… you’re the one that tides me to
hello… many nebulae have shone, to show
your face again…

hello… I am waylaid here for you
hello… you’re the one that tides me to
hello… many nebulae have shone, to show
your face again…

along with a lonely dusty noise that rolled on
where I am wasting time
could you ever relate….?
to while away in orbit while, all he has….

hello, hello, hello, hello
hello, hello, hello, hello


The Particle
ever weakened, I was broken down, I’m older now
ever weakened, I was broken down, I’m older now

fear’s another word for all I held inside my sordid feeling
I have never set the wheel to wright, it couldn’t help from spinning

I know, they joke all night, those who, will toil, to say they did

but I never can, my slate is clean, of crime, i’m awfully kind to all of thy

ever weakened, I was broken down, I’m older now

fear’s another word for all I held inside my sordid feeling
I have never tried to give this little heart a chance at beating, oh

…upon, I will do it right

will my head explode?
it’s all in the particle


I Have Schizophrenia
lately it’s true, my mind is set on you
lately it’s hard, to elate
but I think god likes my prayer!

you could memorise, a hundred lines
to see the light, ’til sola fide
cos when we die…will I see ya?
you can memorise, a hundred lines
to see the light, til sola fide
will she go to heaven or?

I will rescue you
yeah I will rescue you
yeah I’ll rescue you

gimme some space
need a balance
let me fly
float like a lilly
can we connect?
let’s meditate
drink some tea
sit by the sea
feel my energy positive
feel my energy positive
need some hope
walkin’ on a tightrope
who are we?
can we perceive how this will end?

and I myself have died
every single day
it’s just sola fide baby
love should never alter you so
well, that’s just schizophrenia baby
well, that’s just schizophrenia baby

and I put my hand on the bible, god only knows
oh how beautiful you are, but that’s enough for
how many deaths I’d die ‘pon schizophrenia
i’ll see my way, out of this

lately it’s true, my mind is set on you
lately it’s hard, to elate
