A sense of duty was my one intention
And an ugly beauty was my own invention
Pride, a proud refusal
I refuse to need your approval
Too many seekers, too few beacons
But through the fog we'll keep on beaming
Through the crying hours of your glitter years
All the livin' out of your tinsel tears
And the midnight trains I never made
'Cause I already played The Game
Lyrics
Everybody's got their own good reasons
Why their favorite season is their favorite season
Winter winners and those summer suns
Aren't good for everyone, aren't good for everyone
Spring has sprung and autumn's so well done
So well done
And it's a better thing that we do now
Forgetting everything, the whys and hows
While you reminisce about the things you miss
You won't be ready to kiss
Goodbye
The Earth is a world, the world is a ball
A ball in a game with no rules at all
And just as I wonder at the beauty of it all
You go and drop it
And it breaks when it falls
I'll never understand why you thought I would
Need to be reassured and be understood
When I always knew that your bad's my good
And I was ready
Ready to be loved
Born under Mars
With Jupiter rising
Fallen from stars
That lit my horizon
I'll never understand why you thought I would
Need to be reassured and understood
When I always knew that your bad's my good
And I was ready
To be...
Through the crying hours of your glitter years
All the livin' out of your tinsel tears
And the midnight trains I never made
'Cause I already played...
It's a better thing that we do now
Forgetting everything, the whys and hows
'Cause while you reminisce about the things you miss
You won't be ready to kiss
Goodbye

Jump right in
Take the call
Were you pushed
Or did you fall?
Fell apart
Feeling low
Happy ride
The merry-go
And I always hear them singing
And complaining about the world
But my chiming bells are ringing out
The word the word the word
Love rebounds
Heart goes snap
Is she ever
Coming back?
Let her down
Break her fall
Never ever
Felt so small
And I always hear them singing
And complaining about the world
And my chiming bells are ringing out
The word the word the word
Feeling good again
Always hoped I would
Never believed
That I ever could
Feeling blue again
Never wanted to
Under the weather
And it's over you
Over you (the hole in the holy)
(And the crack in our hearts)
Over you (it's love and love only)
(That sets our world apart)
Over you (worlds apart)
(Joined at the heart)
Jump right in
Take the call
Were you pushed
Or did you fall?
Fell apart
Feeling low
Happy ride
The merry-go
And I always hear them singing
And complaining about the world
And my chiming bells are ringing out
The word the word the word
Feeling good again
Always hoped I would
Never believed
That I ever could
Feeling blue again
Never wanted to
Under the weather
And it's over you
Over you (the hole in the holy)
(And the crack in our hearts)
Over you (it's love and love only)
(The sets our worlds apart)
Feeling good again
Always hoped I would
Never believed
That I ever could
Feeling blue again
Never wanted to
Under the weather
And it's over you
Over you (and a dream is a means)
(To an end of the things)
Over you (that will tempt you away)
(From the path to the true way in)
Feeling good again
Always hoped I would
Never believed
That I ever could
Feeling blue again
Never wanted to
Under the weather
And it's over you
Over you
Over you

You say your proud to be
One of the people
hands on the money
and your feet on the ground
Shouting out loud
From the top of the steeple
Counting the flock while
collecting their pounds
all you theiving wheeler dealers
in the healing zone
giving me Fever Fever Fever Fever
down to my bones
I pray
and nothing happens
Jesus
it's all in my mind
You say
stop looking for answers
and reasons
Lyricsthey're all in your mind
all in you mind
Covered in flies
and smothered in lava
I can't scratch my itches
with these pumise stone hands
I dream of my days
as a desert farmer
living my life
On the fat of the sand
All you theiving wheeler dealers
in the healing zone
giving me Fever Fever Fever Fever
down to my bones
I pray
and nothing happens
Jesus
it's all in my mind
you say
Stop looking for answers
and reasons
they're all in your mind
all in your mind
Stuck in a world
losing its way and wonder
I wonder what happened
to the world we knew
Splitting the atom
and feeling its thunder
Could never ever make me
Feel the way you do
You give me Fever Fever Fever Fever
down to my bones
Fever Fever Fever Fever
in the healing zone
I pray
and nothing happens
Jesus
it's all in my mind
You say
Stop looking for answers
and reasons
they're all in your mind
all in your mind

The word went round
In no dream town
They shut us up
And the shutters down
The planes flew in
And laid the ground
We built upon
And spun around
God's one miracle
Lost in circles
On the march
Berlin to Bombers Bay
Traveling dark
On the roads to Mandalay
Cannon fire
Came to call
Stood us up
And watched us fall
The way we were
And now outworn
Our costumes changed
To uniforms
Black black days
Here to stay
On the march
Madrid to Bombers Bay
Traveling dark
On the road to Mandalay
Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag
Smile boys that's the style
Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag
Smile
They give us hope
And teach us well
With magic moons
That cast a spell
And hypnotize
And draw us in
I believe
I'm believing
God's one miracle
Moves in circles
On the march
Berlin to Bombers Bay
Traveling dark
On the road
On the march
Berlin to Bombers Bay
Traveling dark
On the road to Mandalay
Black black days
Where the flying fishes play
Black black days
Where the flying fishes play
Black black days
Where the flying fishes play
Black black days
Where the flying fishes play...

She floats like a swan
Grace on the water
Lips like sugar
Lips like sugar
Just when you think you've caught her
She glides across the water
She calls for you tonight
To share this moonlight
You'll flow down her river
She'll ask you and you'll give her
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
She knows what she knows
I know what she's thinking
Sugar kisses
Sugar kisses
LyricsJust when you think she's yours
She's flown to other shores
To laugh at how you break
And melt into this lake
You'll flow down her river
But you'll never give her
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
She'll be my mirror
Reflect what I am
A loser and a winner
The King of Siam
And my Siamese twin
Alone on the river
Mirror kisses
Mirror kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses

I was standing in a graveyard
Under silver studded skies
In a forest burning ashes
On the bonfires of our lives
As the sky fell down
I was lost and found
Saw my world spin round
Round and round
All the ghosts have gathered round me
Come to tell me of a change
In the darkness that surrounds me
I am falling down again
On this haunted ground
I am lost and found
Lost
Lost and found
Lost
Lost and found
She will tell you her cathedral
Has no windows and no doors
And you know she doesn't need you
And that's why you want her more
As your heart melts down
You are lost not found
Lost
Lost and found
Lost
Lost and found
I was counting all the tombstones
Of the buried boys and girls
As the wind blew in like ice
And froze this cemetery world
And we all fell down
We were lost and found
Lost
Lost and found
Lost
Lost and found
. . .

Out on a limb,
did you see what the cat dragged in,
take it on the chin,
catching fire on a roof of tin.
You've learnt to speak and you're professing,
the right to teach us our direction,
but I found out on close inspection,
true imprefection
(chorus)
I'm looking for a new direction
Where in the world am I?
I took the word the word was resurrection
and then you took me out to climb
Higher and higher
higher and higher
higher and higher
Kissing the spires
higher and higher
Lyricshigher and higher
higher and higher
Souls on fire
Inside of my head
I heard what the good Lord said
"Beware" he said
if you don't you might end up dead
You suck the air right out of me
but though you suck you cannot see
that life and living are not free
though you live you do not breathe
(chorus)
I'm looking for a new direction
where in the world am I?
I took the word the word was resurrection
and then you took me out to climb
(repeat) Higher and higher...
I have changed
but still my heart
remains intact
and true love stays
but will our hearts
retain their lack of
No sense and no direction
Who in the world am I?
I took the word the word was resurrection
and then you took me out to climb
(repeat) Higher and higher...
Start confessing
Start confessing
All my evils would be blessed
if to God I did confess
Wipe the slate and see if I
ate the bread and drank the wine
So as you're leaving I take possesion
just take the bottle and start confessing
. . .

One in a million
one and the same
looking for freedom
born to be tamed
Once in a lifetime
one of these days
gonna grab me a lifeline
swinging my way
I'm swimming out on a blue blue ocean
you're sailing out on a blue blue sea
Silhouettes and a vulture hoping
he's gonna pick the bones of you and me
You and me
Hearts of fire
hearts of bone
beating stronger
beating home
Lyricswhere there's wanting
there is need
where there's having
there is greed
I'm swimming out on a blue blue ocean
you're sailing out on a blue blue sea
silhouettes and a vulture hoping
he's gonna pick the bones of you and me
You and me
Girl
I want the gold dust
in your fingers
and your Klondike touch
girl
I want your goldmine
as it shimmers
in your solemn eyes
I'm swimming out on a blue blue ocean
you're sailing out on a blue blue sea
Silhouettes and a vulture hoping
licking the bones of you and me
I'm swimming out on a blue blue ocean
you're sailing out on a blue blue sea
Blue blue sea
I'm swimming out on the ocean
(Blue blue ocean)
you're sailing out on the sea
(Blue blue sea)
I'm swimming out on the ocean
(Blue blue ocean)
you're sailing out on the sea
(Blue blue sea)
I'm swimming out on the ocean
(Blue blue ocean)
you're sailing out on the sea
(Blue blue sea)
I'm swimming out on the ocean
(Blue blue ocean)
you're sailing out on the sea
(Blue blue sea)
(repeat about 14 times) Blue blue ocean
Blue blue sea

Moonlight Starlight
Insight Out of sight
Something's certain
draw the curtains draw them
Take the night
When it calls
Take the night
When it falls
When it falls
When it falls
When it falls
You will I might
Talking satellites
Rockets comets
Something's coming
Take the night
When it calls
Take the night
When it falls
When it falls
Take the night
When it falls
Out out All out
In doubt Far out
Wheels in motion
Take it take it take it the potion
Take the night
When it calls
Take the night
When it falls
When it falls
When it falls
When it falls
Moonlight
Starlight
Insight
Out of sight
Take the night
When it calls
Take the night
When it falls
When it falls
When it falls
When it falls
When it falls
When it falls
When it falls
When it falls
When the night falls
It falls
It falls
It falls
It falls
It falls

Oh how the times have changes us
Sure and now uncertain
Men not devils have claimed us
Purity deserting
God's one miracle
lost in circles
All my all my life
revolves around
laughter and crying
as my life turns
round and round
Cannon fire burning
on the hillside
You and I are side by side
Listen
Tin soldiers playing our tune
Lyrics
All my all my life
revolves around
laughter and crying
as my life turns
round and round and round
Songs for life's lost lovers
bitter sweet their healing
Their prayers prayed under covers
need not kneeling
God's one miracle
moves in circles
All my all my life
revolves around
laughter and crying
as my life turns
round and round
All my all my life
revolves around
laughter and crying
as my life turns
round and round
and round
and round
