Long hours of loneliness  
Between me and the sea

Losing emotion  
Finding devotion  
Should I dress in white and search the sea  
As I always wished to be  
One with the waves  
Ocean Soul

Ocean of motion  
Squirming around and up and down  
Pushing together  
Scattering mountains all around you  
That is the sound of a new born world  
And a light from a curious sky  
It has begun - you’re in the hands of destiny

</div>

In and around the lake  
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there  
One mile over we’ll be there and we’ll see you  
Ten true summers we’ll be there and laughing too  
Twenty four before my love you’ll see I’ll be there with you

[Ok, more Yes…]

The fist will run, grasp metal to gun.  
The spirit sings in crashing tones,  
We gain the battle drum.  
Our cries will shrill, the air will moan and crash into the dawn.  
The pen won’t stay the demon’s wings,  
The hour approaches pounding out the Devil’s sermon.

</div>

I feel the dark embrace the light  
I see the black engulf the white  
I can sense it, life denying  
Take me from this cold fucking world  
…Life defying…  
…Hating everything…  
…Life declining…

Seems there’s no time for me  
Cursing my own destiny  
Sorrow flies on black wings

</div>

Surrender to the wisdom of age and the spirits of time  
Remember our souls entwined for eternity  
And the healing hand of the fairy queen will come to all who have faith in her  
And the apple tree will bear its fruit in the gardens of Avalon  
Forever and again

Give me, give me, give me deliverance  
Brother, sister, give me, give me  
Deliverance, deliver me

</div>

It always burns within  
The downward spiral never ends  
When driven into sin  
Your salvation’s found in a sinner’s deed  
The devil guides the way  
Tells me what to say  
Pours himself inside  
And snuffs the final light

Deliverance - thrown back at me  
Deliverance - laughing at me

</div>

Round like a circle in a spiral  
Like a wheel within a wheel  
Never ending on beginning  
On an ever-spinning reel  
Like a snowball down a mountain  
Or a carnival balloon  
Like a carousel that’s turning  
Running rings around the moon  
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping  
Past the minutes on its face  
And the world is like an apple  
Whirling silently in space  
Like the circles that you find  
In the windmills of your mind

</div>

I spend too much time raiding windmills  
We go side by side laugh until it’s right

Take the darkest hour break it open  
Water to repair what we have broken

There’s something that you won’t show  
Waiting where the light goes  
And anyway the wind blows  
All worth waiting for

Laugh, laugh, I thought I’d die  
It seemed so funny to me  
Laugh, laugh you met a guy who taught you how it feels to be  
Lonely, oh so lonely

It may be his soul was bigger than a body’s oughta be  
Singin’ songs and bringin’ laughter to the likes of you and me  
'Cause the world he saw was sadder than the one he hoped to find  
But it wasn’t near as lonesome as the one he left behind

Yesterday they found him on the floor of his hotel  
Reachin’ towards the needle, Lord, that drove him down to hell  
Some folks called it suicide, others blame the speed  
We just called it crucified when Billy Dee O.D.

</div>

Helter skelter in a summer swelter  
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter  
Eight miles high and falling fast  
Landed foul on the grass  
The players tried for a forward pass  
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast

Now the half time air was sweet perfume  
While sergeants played a marching tune  
We all got up to dance  
Oh, but we never got the chance

'Cause the players tried to take the field  
The marching band refused to yield  
Do you recall what was revealed  
The day the music died?

</div>

As you grow up and leave the playground  
Where you kissed your prince and found your frog  
Remember the jester that showed you tears, the script for tears  
So I’ll hold our peace forever when you wear your bridal gown  
In the silence of my shame the mute that sang the sirens’ song  
Has gone solo in the game, I’ve gone solo in the game  
But the game is over  
Can you still say you love me

Yeah I’m hung like planet Pluto, hard to see with the naked eye  
But if I crashed into Uranus I would stick it where the sun don’t shine  
Cause I’m kind of like Han Solo, always stroking my own Wookie  
I’m the root of all that’s evil yeah but you can call me cookie

Don’t get strung out by the way I look  
Don’t judge a book by its cover  
I’m not much of a man by the light of day  
But by night I’m one hell of a lover  
I’m just a sweet transvestite  
From Transexual, Transylvania

It’s un-in-tel-ligible  
I just can’t get it through my skull  
It’s hard to bargle nawdle zouss  
With all these marbles in my mouth  
Don’t know, don’t know, don’t know, oh no  
Don’t know, don’t know, don’t know…

You talk too much  
You never shut up  
Everything I do for you is never enough  
You snore, you drool,  
You talk in your sleep  
Won’t get a night’s rest until you’re six feet deep
