Out of my mind on saturday night  
1970 rollin’ in sight  
Radio burnin’ up above  
Beautiful baby, feed my love

This is who I am  
Escapist, paradise seeker  
Farewell now time to fly  
Out of sight, out of time, away from all lies

I’ll break away  
Yes, I’m on my way

I found an island in your arms  
Country in your eyes  
Arms that chain us  
Eyes that lie  
Break on through to the other side  
Break on through to the other side

Where memories enfold me  
There on the beautiful island of dreams  
Far far away on the island of dreams

If we’re on the island of unwanted toys  
We’ll miss all the fun with the girls and the boys  
When Christmas day is here  
The most wonderful, wonderful  
Wonderful, wonderful  
Wonderful day of the year!

Big family dinner, the untold pain  
Their eyes are sparkling on his frozen face  
Angel’s calling asking to get in

All he wanted was a toy  
All he needed was a gentle heart  
To lead him through the dark  
When there’s nowhere left to fall

You don’t have a clue  
If you did you’d find yourself  
Doin’ the same things too

_Breakin’ the law, breaking the law!_

And don’t wonder who them lawmen was protectin’  
When they nailed the Savior to the cross

‘Cause the law is for protection of the people  
Rules are rules and any fool can see  
We don’t need no riddle speakin’ prophets  
Scarin’ decent folks like you and me, no siree

[$#@%#^# always forget what thread I am in, esp. @ the end of a long work day…]

Let me sleep for awhile and dream of Avalon and the Beltane fires  
And a silent kiss steals away into the mist and out to the lake  
Where the sword will rise again from the water into the  
Hands of the chosen one the righteous one  
Forever and again
