Well, I think I leapfrogged you the other day, fair enough…

This is where heroes and cowards part ways

Light the fire, feast  
Chase the ghosts, give in  
Take the road less traveled by  
Leave the city of fools  
Turn every poet loose

We’ve got to find the keys  
We’ve got to find the keys  
To open up the vaults  
The nights have been growing darker  
So much darker now than sin  
We’ll open the vaults of heaven  
And the answers are there, within.

In my head the voice is waiting, waiting for me to set it free  
I locked it inside my imagination  
But I’m the one who’s got the combination  
Some people didn’t like what the voice did say  
So I took the voice and I locked it away  
I got the key, I got the key  
Voices, I hear voices  
Voices, I hear voices

I hear the sons of the city and dispossessed  
Get down, get undressed  
Get ready for you and me,  
We got the kingdom, we got the key

We got the empire, now as then,  
We don’t doubt, we don’t take direction,  
Lucretia, my reflection, dance the ghost with me

And so it was that later  
As the miller told his tale  
That her face, at first just ghostly,  
Turned a whiter shade of pale

There is no political solution  
To our troubled evolution  
Have no faith in constitution  
There is no bloody revolution

We are spirits in the material world  
Are spirits in the material world  
Are spirits in the material world  
Are spirits in the material world

[I could have gone in two completely different directions, depending on which stanza to focus on. Schrodinger’s Lyric…went with the political side…]

God save the Queen  
The fascist regime,  
They made you a moron  
A potential H-bomb

God save the Queen  
She ain’t no human being  
And there is no future  
And England’s dreaming

You were born with it  
And now you got it  
And oooh you flaunt it  
And you don’t care  
Cause nothin’s gonna bring you down, no  
But she’s not that kind of girl  
I’m tellin’ all the world  
She was born the Queen of the Broken Hearts

Free my heart to feel again  
Free my mind to understand  
To run unfettered  
Pull the blinders from my eyes

Let me see the endless skies  
And drown here where I stand  
In the beauty of the land

And all my life  
It lay inside  
For all my life

And a fading memory

Can’t stop the rains  
When illusion’s gone, the truth still remains

The electric lash of trees in the studio  
Fills my head with light  
Only the voice of the girl on the radio  
Falling from a height  
And I turn to leave as if in a cameo  
It doesn’t feel quite right  
Only one thing you ever really know  
If it’s day or night

Comin’ to you live like I do every night  
From the heart of your radio.  
I play a little sad, and I play a lotta glad.  
And a few ol’ cheatin’ songs.  
Here’s hopin’ everybody out in radio land  
Found a love just as true as mine  
Good night angel, sleep tight darlin’  
Close your pretty brown eyes.  
When the show is over,  
Your radio lover  
Will be home by your side.

When I was young  
I’d listen to the radio  
Waitin’ for my favorite songs  
When they played I’d sing along  
It made me smile

Those were such happy times  
And not so long ago  
How I wondered where they’d gone  
But they’re back again  
Just like a long lost friend  
All the songs I loved so well

Every sha-la-la-la  
Every wo-o-wo-o  
Still shines

I’d sit alone and watch your light  
My only friend through teenage nights  
And everything I had to know  
I heard it on my radio  
Radio.
