Several times i’ve tried  
Everything to make you feel all right  
(turn it around) is anything working?  
Several times i’ve died inside  
And then i see you get uptight  
(turn it around) we gotta get back  
Turn it around

I’ve got time on my side  
And you’ve got time on your side  
Now it’s only time to decide  
Which side you’re on  
We’ve tried everything in sight  
To make it turn out all right

Now is the only time  
Now is the only time  
Now it’s time to try to turn it around

Several times i’ve wished  
That everything would slip into a void  
(turn it around) does it even matter now?  
It’s time to figure out  
The things we want, and things that we’ll avoid  
(turn it around) we gotta get back  
Turn it around

I don’t grab for straws anymore  
And you don’t sink your claws anymore  
But the more i think  
The less i really know about myself  
We gotta turn it around  
Before it goes into the ground

Several times tried to turn it around  
Several ways tried to turn it around

There’s several morals and there’s several plays  
Several parts that anyone can try  
It’s enough to make you cry  
I may not think that i’m right  
But i know the things i’ve got  
Are gonna turn out all right  
We gotta get back, turn it around

I may not be anything  
And you might be the biggest thing  
But the biggest thing to me  
Is making this thing work for life  
We gotta turn it around  
Before it goes into the ground

Inside, outside  
Upside down  
Your love’s spinning me  
Round and round

All the places I’ve been make it hard to begin  
To enjoy life again on the inside, but I mean to  
Take a walk around the block  
And be glad that I’ve got me some time  
To be in from the outside, and inside with you

I’m sitting on the corner feeling glad  
Got no money coming in but I can’t be sad  
That was the best cup of coffee I ever had  
And I won’t worry about a thing  
Because we’ve got it made  
Here on the inside, outside’s so far away

Just around the corner,  
There’s a rainbow in the sky.  
So let’s have another cup of coffee  
And let’s have another piece o’ pie!  
Trouble’s just a bubble,  
And the clouds will soon roll by’  
So let’s have another cup of coffee  
And let’s have another piece o’ pie!

Now I don’t know where you came from  
'cause I don’t know where you’ve been.  
But it really doesn’t matter  
grab a chair and fill your platter  
and dig dig dig right in.

There’s something moving through the air  
Years ago, it wasn’t there  
If people feel it, they don’t care  
Seems like everybody’s sterilised  
A piece is missing from their lives  
They’re never going to be surprised

I don’t know where it comes from  
I don’t know where it comes from  
I don’t know where it comes from  
Don’t ask me where it comes from

All that you touch  
All that you see  
All that you taste  
All you feel  
All that you love  
All that you hate  
All you distrust  
All you save  
All that you give  
All that you deal  
All that you buy  
beg, borrow or steal  
All you create  
All you destroy  
All that you do  
All that you say  
All that you eat  
everyone you meet  
All that you slight  
everyone you fight  
All that is now  
All that is gone  
All that’s to come  
And everything under the sun is in tune  
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon.  
There is no dark side of the moon really.  
Matter of fact it’s all dark.

Well, it’s a marvelous night for a moondance  
With the stars up above in your eyes  
A fantabulous night to make romance  
Neath the cover of October skies  
And all the leaves on the trees are falling  
To the sound of the breezes that blow  
And I’m trying to please to the calling  
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low  
And all the nights magic seems to whisper and hush  
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush

I am so alone, so cold  
My heart is to scarred to glow  
I wish the sunrise to come  
Take my soul (away)  
From this cold, lonely shell  
I am free

From the eternal sea I rose  
Veiled in darkness on either shore  
Lost my pride, lost its glow  
For me the sun rose no more

The Forest of October  
Sleeps Silent when I depart  
The Web of Time  
Hides my last trace

Lost in their eyes as you hurry by  
Counting the broken ties they decide  
Love comes to you and then after  
Dream on, on to the heart of the sunrise  
Lost on a wave that you’re dreaming  
Dram on on to the heart of the sunrise  
Sharp…distance  
How can the wind with its arms all around me  
Sharp…distance  
How can the wind with so many around me  
I feel lost in the city

Lost in their eyes as you hurry by  
Counting the broken ties they decided

Straight light moving and removing  
Sharpness of the colour sun shine  
Straight light searching all the meanings of the song  
Long last treatment of the telling that  
Relates to all the words sung  
Dreamer easy in the chair that really fits you

As time goes on, I realize  
Just what you mean to me.  
And now, now that you’re near,  
Promise your love that I’ve waited to share  
And dreams of our moments together.  
Color my world with hopes of loving you

More by luck than judgment here am I,  
Smiling at the fighting once again,  
Frightened of my hands,  
Frightened of my friends,  
Call it by a very different name.

Colours fly away from you,  
Lost in valid wondering,  
Angels fly their camoflage,  
Darkness that is shattered by the dawn.

There’s a new boy here to play our game,  
Shoot my eyes out I could wake up dreaming,  
This is where I score,  
Wise up to my tricks,  
Colour in my face and yell extremist.

Colours fly away from you,  
Lost in valid wondering,  
Angels fly their camoflage,  
Darkness that is shattered by the dawn.

Someone’s sleeping in my attic room,  
Someone’s watching everything I’m doing,  
Harry Ranjet sings,  
Save a song for me,  
Heard you on the radio today.  
Colours fly away!

(Yo Ease let’s do this…)

Colors…colors, colors…colors, colors, colors  
Colors…colors, colors…colors, colors, colors

I am a nightmare walking, psychopath talking  
King of my jungle just a gangster stalking  
Living life like a firecracker quick is my fuse  
Then dead as a deathpack the colors I choose  
Red or Blue, Cuz or Blood, it just don’t matter  
Sucker die for your life when my shotgun scatters  
We gangs of L.A. will never die - just multiply

Colors…colors, colors…colors, colors, colors  
Colors…colors, colors…colors, colors, colors

You see they hit us then we hit them  
Then we hit them and they hit us, man  
It’s like a war, ya know what I’m sayin’  
People dont even understand  
They don’t even know what they dealing with  
You wanna get rid of the gangs it’s gonna take a lotta work  
But people don’t understand the size of this  
This is no joke man, this is real

You don’t know me, fool  
You disown me, cool  
I don’t need your assistance, social persistence  
Any problem I got I just put my fist in  
My life is violent but violent is life  
Peace is a dream, reality is a knife  
My colors, my honour, my colors, my all  
With my colors upon me one soldier stands tall  
Tell me what have you left me, what have I got  
Last night in cold blood my young brother got shot  
My home got jacked  
My mother’s on crack  
My sister can’t work cause her arms show trax  
Madness insanity live in profanity  
Then some punk claimin’ they understandin’ me  
Give me a break, what world do you live in  
Death is my sect, guess my religion…

Colors…colors, colors…colors, colors, colors  
Colors…colors, colors…colors, colors, colors

But I see your true colors  
Shining through  
I see your true colors  
And that’s why I love you  
So don’t be afraid to let them show  
Your true colors  
True colors  
Are beautiful like a rainbow

There is a land of pure delight,  
Where saints immortal reign,  
Infinite day excludes the night,  
And pleasures banish pain.

There everlasting spring abides,  
And never withering flowers:  
Death, like a narrow sea, divides  
This heav’nly land from ours.

From the start through all time  
Here upon the wind  
Disorder reigned hand in hand with Spring

Earth and the fire  
Air and the water  
Molded the sea and landscape  
Moving, flowing with no seeming purpose  
Endlessly changing

Survival  
Spring into Summer  
Time for reflection  
Time to grow

World full of meaning  
Place rearranging  
Face ever changing  
For all our lives

These are our roots and it’s our way  
We grow, we reap and sow  
We reap and sow the seasons of our day

[Within the heart of all things born that day](http://www.artydog.co.uk/New%20Folder/peregrine-stoop.jpg)  
The Autumn scene brings the Winter’s way  
Colors are shading  
Misting and fading

Turning toward  
Changes, living  
Each time the past and the future  
Holding together

Tomorrow  
Winter to Springtime, a season for planning  
Time to learn  
World full of stillness

World ever waiting  
Anticipating  
For all of our lives  
These are our roots, and it’s our way

We grow, we reap, and sow  
We reap and sow the seasons of our day

On the terminal point  
Of the cul-de-sac  
Patients are dying  
The horses are dazed  
From the glare of stars  
The starry wisdom  
Owned by the Baron  
And he’s got the cure

A drug by the name of World Without End  
A drug by the name of World Without End  
A drug by the name of World Without End

Come and take this…Carpe Diem!  
World without end…Carpe Diem!  
You’ll be inventor…Carpe Diem!  
Invention, letter, earth, wind…Carpe Diem!  
Rhymed like the real…Carpe Diem!  
And real as the rhyme…Carpe Diem!

Inventor of rhymes…Carpe Diem!

Imagine he was me and I was called Frankenstein  
Imagine he was me and I was called Frankenstein  
Imagine he was me and I was called Frankenstein
