You offered me an eagle’s wing
That to the sun I might soar and sing
And if I heard the owl’s cry
Into the forest I would fly
And in its darkness find you by.
And I dream I’m an eagle
And I dream I can spread my wings
Flying high, high, I’m a bird in the sky
I’m an eagle that rides on the breeze
Birdie, birdie, in the sky
Why’d you drop that in my eye?
I won’t sigh, I won’t cry
I’m only glad that cows don’t fly
Like a bird on the wire,
like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
My eyes grew heavy and my lips, they could not speak.
I tried to get up, but I couldn’t fine my feet.
She reassured me with an unfamiliar line.
And then she gave to me more summer wine.
Oh, oh, summer wine.
[“Fine” my feet? :D]
My eyes are sore
My body weak
My throat is dry
I cannot speak
My words are dead
Falling like feathers to the floor
You think that I don’t even mean
A single word I say
It’s only words, and words are all I have
To take your heart away
Turning and returning
To some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion
As you turn around and say
Take my breath away
Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I’ll be watching you
Can’t let you know
What’s been happening.
There’s a ghost in our home,
Just watching you without me.
I’m not here.
I always feel like somebody’s watching me
And I have no privacy
Woh, I always feel like somebody’s watching me
Tell me is it just a dream?
I’m a spy in the house of love
I know the dreams that you’re dreamin’ of
I know the words that you long to hear
I know your deepest secret fear
Fears from the fire
Twist and burn
Well, shake it up, baby, now
(Shake it up, baby)
Twist and shout
(Twist and shout)
Well they’ve got a new dance and it goes like this
(Bop shoo-op, a bop bop shoo-op)
Yeah the name of the dance is Peppermint Twist
(Bop shoo-op, a bop bop shoo-op)
Well you like it like this, the Peppermint Twist
Good sense, innocence, cripplin’ mankind
Dead kings, many things I can’t define
Occasions, persuasions clutter your mind
Incense and peppermints, the color of time.
The black queen chants the funeral march,
The cracked brass bells will ring;
To summon back the fire witch
To the court of the crimson king.
We must close the gate so she can’t return
We’ll seal her fate, watch her temple burn
And we’ll capture her soul in the chambers of crimson sleep
And there she will suffer eternally for what she has done to man
Since before man could see
There was eternity
After man is come and gone
Eternity lingers on, eternity lingers on
Now it’s been ten thousand years, man has cried a billion tears
For what, he never knew, now man’s reign is through
But through eternal night, the twinkling of starlight
So very far away, maybe it’s only yesterday
