I walk without a cut  
Through a stained-glass wall

Forty thousand headmen couldn’t make me change my mind  
If I had to take the choice between the deafman and the blind  
I know just where my feet should go and that’s enough for me  
I turned around and knocked them down and walked across the sea

Hadn’t traveled very far when suddenly I saw  
Three small ships a-sailing out towards a distant shore  
So lighting up a cigarette I followed in pursuit  
And found a secret cave where they obviously stashed their loot

Filling up my pockets, even stuffed it up my nose  
I must have weighed a hundred tons between my head and toes  
I ventured forth before the dawn had time to change its mind  
And soaring high above the clouds I found a golden shrine

I’ve look at clouds from both sides now  
From up and down and still somehow  
It’s clouds’ illusions I recall  
I really don’t know clouds at all

So waste your time  
On people who don’t know which way to go  
They’ll never take you up  
Never take you up in the sky  
Because it’s all in the mind

I don’t mind,  
Your body and soul,  
I don’t mind,  
Your love growing cold.

But I know, I know  
You’re gonna miss me…

You’re as cold as ice  
You’re willing to sacrifice our love.  
You never take advice  
But someday you’ll pay the price I know

</div>

Cold, no I won’t believe your heart is cold  
Maybe just afraid to be broken again  
Let someone with a deep love to give  
Give that deep love to you, and what magic you’ll see  
Let someone with a deep love to give  
Give that deep love to you. and what magic you’ll see  
Let someone give his heart, someone who cares like me

I’m not tryin’ to be any kind of man  
I’m tryin’ to be somebody  
you can love, trust and understand  
I know that I can be, yeah yeah  
a part of you that no one else could see  
I just gotta hear, hear you say  
It’s all right  
yeah, yeah, yeah!

I’ll take my chances  
I’d forgot how nice romance is  
That hasn’t happened for the longest time

Time, you found time enough to love  
And I found love enough to hold you  
So tonight I’ll stir the fire you feel inside  
Until the flames of love enfold you  
Layin’ beside you lost in the feeling  
So glad you opened my door, come with me  
Somewhere in the night we will know  
Everything lovers can know  
You’re my song, music too magic to end  
I’ll play you over and over again  
Lovin’ so warm, movin’ so right  
Closin’ our eyes and feelin’ alive  
We’ll just go on burnin’ bright  
Somewhere in the night

[A fire burns inside me](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ih1rfRxZ1Bo)  
The snow still falls in flakes  
The reins around a horse’s throat  
Turn into a lake

And people so familiar  
Their words are in my mind  
A fire burns inside me  
Dancing cool and blind

Beside the wall the flowers grow  
And down the sticky stems I go  
Watching changing skies below  
Your arms so far away  
Just like they said to me  
Life is worth another stay

I ache for the touch of your lips, dear,  
But much more for the touch of your whips, dear.  
You can raise welts  
Like nobody else,  
As we dance to the masochism tango.

[Say our love be a flame, not an ember,](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnrgWgr00k8)  
Say it’s me that you want to dismember.  
Blacken my eye,  
Set fire to my tie,  
As we dance to the masochism tango.

</div>

And we danced,  
Like a wave on the ocean, romanced  
We were liars in love.  
And we danced,  
Swept away for a moment by chance  
And we danced and danced…

The albatross and the whale they are my brothers  
It’s kind of a special feeling out on the sea alone  
Staring at the full moon like a lover

You can call me lazy  
But I know where I belong  
Cause I was born a liar  
Albatross, fly on, fly on  
With your trust in love from your God above…

I believe the Albatross is me

Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air  
And deep beneath the rolling waves in labyrinths of coral caves  
The echo of a distant tide  
Comes willowing across the sand  
And everything is green and summery

Once upon a night we’ll wake to the carnival of life  
The beauty of this ride ahead such an incredible high  
It’s hard to light a candle, easy to curse the dark instead  
This moment the dawn of humanity  
[The last ride of the day](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LtqqOc2REw)

Wake up, Dead Boy  
Enter adventureland  
Tricksters, magicians will show you all that’s real  
Careless jugglers, snake charmers by your trail  
Magic of a moment  
Abracadabra
