Oh and while the king was looking down
The jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned
We three kings of the orient are
Bearing gifts, we traversed afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain…
Following yonder star…
May it be an evening star
Shines down upon you
May it be when darkness falls
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh, how far you are from home
Mornië utúlië (Darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornië alantië (Darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now
There were ghosts in the eyes of all the boys you sent away
They haunt this dusty beach road in the skeleton frames of burned-out Chevrolets
They scream your name at night in the street
Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
And in the lonely cool before dawn
You hear their engines rolling on
But when you get to the porch, they’re gone on the wind
So Mary, climb in
It’s a town full of losers, I’m pulling out of here to win
In the morning they return
With tears in their eyes
The stench of death drifts up to the skies
A soldier so ill looks at the sky pilot
Remembers the words
“Thou shalt not kill.”
Sky pilot
Sky pilot
How high can you fly?
You’ll never, never, never reach the sky
(Prof. P. - from one NatLamp fan to another, you’re welcome.)
Pilot of the airwaves
Here is my request
You don’t have to play it
But I hope you’ll do your best
I’ve been listening to your show
On the radio
And you seem like a friend to me
Pay me, I’ll be your surgeon
I’d like to pick your brain
Capture you, inject you
Leave you kneeling in the rain, kneeling in the rain
I don’t pay attention to the distance that you’re running
Or to anyone, anywhere
I don’t understand if you really care
I’m only hearing negative: no, no, no (bad)
And so I, I turned the radio on, I turned the radio up
And this woman was singin’ my song:
The lover’s in love and the other’s run away
The lover is crying cause the other won’t stay
Someone found a letter you wrote me, on the radio
And they told the world just how you felt
It must have fallen out of a hole in your old brown overcoat
They never said your name
But I knew just who they meant.
Whoa I was so surprised and shocked, and I wondered, too
If by chance you heard it for yourself
I never told a soul just how I’ve been feeling over you
But they said it really loud, they said it on the air
On the radio
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…
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
On the day that you were born
And the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair
And golden starlight in your eyes of blue.
We are stardust, we are golden, we are billion year old carbon,
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden.
You stretched for the stars
And you know how it feels to reach
Too high
Too far
Too soon
You saw the whole of the moon
If this desert’s all there’ll ever be,
Then tell me what becomes of me.
A fall of rain?
That must have been another of your dreams,
A dream of mad man moon.
Now, Andy did you hear about this one?
Tell me, are you locked in the punch?
Andy are you goofing on Elvis? Hey, baby
Are we losing touch?
If you believed they put a man on the moon
Man on the moon
If you believe there’s nothing up his sleeve
Then nothing is cool
And the cat’s in the cradle and the silver spoon.
Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
When you coming home dad? I don’t know when,
But we’ll get together then,
You know we’ll have a good time then.
The man in the moon is smiling
'Cause he’s in love with the girl in the world
She’s flying in the face of fashion now
Seems to have a will of her own
She’s flying in the face of fashion, yeah
Seems to have it all chromed
The time was going, so frequently
She said if I try harder again
She’s flying in the face of fashion now
Sells the world annually to a friend
She’s singin’ world shut your mouth, shut your mouth
Put your head back in the clouds and shut your mouth
The most beautiful world in the world
And though there are times when I doubt you
I just couldn’t stay here without you
So when you get older
And over your shoulder
You look back to see if it’s real
Tell her she’s beautiful
Roll the world over
And give her a kiss and a feel
So long, folks!
Darling, I am growing old,
Silver threads among the gold,
Shine upon my brow today,
Life is fading fast away.
But, my darling, you will be,
Always young and fair to me,
Yes, my darling, you will be
Always young and fair to me.
