I’m breaking through
I’m bending spoons
I’m keeping flowers in full bloom
I’m looking for answers from the great beyond
I want the hummingbirds, the dancing bears
Sweetest dreams of you
I Look into the stars
I Look into the moon
I’m pushing an elephant up the stairs
I’m tossing up punch lines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
Crashing to the ground
So I’ll trust my heart, what else can I do
I can’t live in dreams if my dreams are to come true
There’s a better life that’s waiting, past the mountains I must climb
I will take a chance on love to get my once upon a time
And it was so much more, so much more than a dream
Once upon a time
A girl with moonlight in her eyes
Put her hand in mine
And said she loved me so
But that was once upon a time
Very long ago
Once upon a hill
We sat beneath a willow tree
Counting all the stars and waiting for the dawn
But that was once upon a time
Now the tree is gone
Call her moonchild
Dancing in the shallows of a river
Lonely moonchild
Dreaming in the shadows
of the willow.
Talking to the trees of the
Cobweb strange
Sleeping on the steps of a fountain
Waving silver wands to the
Night-birds song
Waiting for the sun on the mountain.
She’s a moonchild
Gathering the flowers in a garden.
Lovely moonchild
Drifting on the echoes of the hours.
Sailing on the wind
In a milk white gown
Dropping circle stones on a sun dial
Playing hide and seek
With the ghosts of dawn
Waiting for a smile from a sun child.
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’m not talking 'bout moving in,
And I don’t want to change your life.
But there’s a warm wind blowing,
The stars are out, and I’d really love to see you tonight.
It’s the right time of the night
Oh, the stars are wakin’ above
It’s the right time of the night
For makin’ love
Thinkin’ of you’s workin’ up an appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight
Rubbin’ sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite
And the thought of rubbin’ you is getting so exciting
Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
She packed my bags last night, pre-flight
Zero hour, nine a.m.
And I’m gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the Earth so much, I miss my wife
It’s lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight
And I think it’s gonna be a long, long time ‘til touch down brings me round again to find I’m not the man they think I am at home
Oh no, no, no, I’m a rocket man
Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone
Ground control to major Tom, your circuits dead, there’s something wrong
Can you hear me, major Tom?
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me
I often wonder what he’s feeling
Has he ever heard a word I said
Look at him now in the mirror dreaming
What is happening in his head?
When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen’s off with her head
Remember what the dormouse said
Feed your head
Feed your head
What do you think you’ll do then
I bet that’ll shoot down the plane
It’ll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again
Maybe you’ll get a replacement
There’s plenty like me to be found
Mongrels who ain’t got a penny
Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground
So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can’t plant me in your penthouse
I’m going back to my plough
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh I’ve finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
We can all be replaced
When nothing hurts and nothing matters
The thing you were looking for, I think it was always there
You would have seen it
All you had to do was turn around
No more hanging on to the promises they make
We’ll just hang on to the moments
'Cause we can all be replaced
So what are you staring at, what are you laughing at
Doesn’t it ever stop, don’t you know
That bridges burn
And tables turn
But every time that I touch you, baby, I feel a little more alive
And I’m reminded how much you’ve made me
Believe in the love that survives
You know we must believe in the love that survives
Lessons learned are like bridges burned
You only need to cross them but once
Don’t be a zero, be a hero
A sex pistol, guitar hero
Don’t be a zero, you gotta be a hero
A sex pistol, guitar hero
All my life, I never learned
My bridge is raised, my bridges burn
And all my dreams seem faded away, yeah
My bridge is raised, well, my bridges burn, yeah
Be a hero, oh
A sex pistol, oh
An alert atomic bomb, yeah
Cheap holiday in other peoples misery
I don’t wanna holiday in the sun
I wanna go to the new Belsen
I wanna see some history
Cause now I got a reasonable economy
Now I got a reason
It’s a holiday in Cambodia
It’s tough, kid, but it’s life
It’s a holiday in Cambodia
Don’t forget to pack a wife
You’re a star-belly snitch
You suck like a leech
You want everyone to act like you
Kiss ass while you bitch
So you can get rich
While your boss gets richer off you
Well he was Thailand based
She was an air force wife
He used to fly weekends
It was the easy life
But then it turned around and he began to change
She didn’t wonder then
She didn’t think it strange
But then he got a call
He had to leave that night
He couldn’t say too much
But it would be alright
He didn’t need to pack
They’d meet the next night
He had a job to do
Flying to Cambodia
…aboard the Thailand Express
we hit the stops along the way
we only stop for the best.
