Never return, I’m waiting no more
They take no prisoners in the promised war
You’ll die for this
Die for this
Take it away
Moonchild
Lower me down, lower me down
Moonchild… lower me down down down down down down
I’m going down
I’m going, down, down, down, down, down
Yes, I’m going down, yes
I’m going down, down, down, down, down
Yes, I’ve got my feet in the window
Got my head on the ground
The humble man rises to a new low
The humble man rises to a new low
The humble man rises, full of surprises
And cuts a dashing figure on the rocks below
Down, down, down and out.
Down, down, down and out.
Down, down, down and out.
Down, down, down and out.
He will go down he will drown drown deeper down
The river wild will take your only child
He will go down he will drown drown deeper down
The mills grind slow in a riverbed ghost town
He will go down he will drown drown deeper down
The river wild will take your only child
He will go down he will drown drown deeper down
The mills grind slow in a riverbed ghost town
He will go down he will drown drown deeper down
If you want me, do come across
Ghost of perdition
Stuck in her chest
A warning no one read
Tragic friendship
Called inside the fog
Pouring venom brew deceiving
Devil cracked the earthly shell
Foretold she was the one
Blew hope into the room and said:
“You have to live before you die young”
People try to put us d-down (Talkin’ ‘bout my generation)
Just because we get around (Talkin’ ‘bout my generation)
Things they do look awful c-c-cold (Talkin’ ‘bout my generation)
I hope I die before I get old (Talkin’ 'bout my generation)
I gotta see my girl, I gotta see her eyes
The barometer is falling, only she can make it rise
There’s nothing on the trees, there’s nothing for me here
I gotta find salvation and some thermal underwear
It’s cold and it’s getting colder
They’re vaccinating Satan who’s shaking all over pneumonia
It’s cold, like an endless winter
The moons on the run and even the sun is cold
The stars are all gone and even the sun is cold
The world is too old and even the sun is cold
Now you spit on the sky
Because it’s empty and hollow
All your dreams
Are hanging out to dry
Stars are stars
And they shine so cold
I saw you climb
Shadows on the trees
We lost some time
After things that never matter
Look at me,
I’m as helpless as a kitten up a tree;
And I feel like I’m clingin’ to a cloud,
I can’ t understand
I get misty, just holding your hand.
See the flashing lights, hear the thunder roar
I am gonna set you all alight
Gotta make it man, I ain’t got a choice
Gotta fill this hall tonight
Helpless, helpless
Helpless, helpless
Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd
Smiling
Merciless, the magistrate turns 'round
Frowning
And who’s the fool who wears the crown?
Go down in your own way
And everyday is the right day
And as you rise above the fear lines in his brow
You look down
Hearing the sound of the faces in the crowd
Won’t you look down upon me, Jesus
You’ve got to help me make a stand
You’ve just got to see me through another day
My body’s aching and my time is at hand
I won’t make it any other way
Now of (third) of December was covered with snow
and so was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston.
Though the Berkshires seemed dreamlike on account of that frosting,
with ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go.
There’s a song that they sing when they take to the highway,
a song that they sing when they take to the sea,
a song that they sing of their home in the sky, maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep,
but singing works just fine for me.
December’s girl stares alone at the world
Her face pressed against the panes
She’s watching the children play out in the snow
Her eyes can see only flames
Oh please don’t turn away
Burn away, turn away
You’d have us forget those three months crying
And the snow is coming down
On our New England town
And it’s been falling all day long
What else is new
What can I do
But sing this valley winter song
I wrote for you
Then I heard the children singing
They were running through the rainbows
They were singing a song for you
Well it seemed to be a song for you
The one I wanted to write for you, for you
Lavenders blue, dilly dilly, lavenders green
When I am King, dilly dilly, you will be Queen
A penny for your thoughts my dear
A penny for your thoughts my dear
I.O.U. for your love, I.O.U. for your love
[ok, Marillion it is…]
And it was morning
And I found myself mourning,
For a childhood that I thought had disappeared
I looked out the window
And I saw a magpie in the rainbow, the rain had gone
I’m not alone, I turned to the mirror
I saw you, the child, that once loved
The child before they broke his heart
Our heart, the heart that I believed was lost
Hey you, surprised? More than surprised
To find the answers to the questions
Were always in your own eyes
Surprise! You’re dead!
Ha ha! Open your eyes
See the world as it used to be when you used to be in it
When you were alive and when you were in love
And when I took it from you!
It’s not over yet
You don’t remember?
I won’t let you forget
Light up the fire, play some Nat King Cole
Always sentimental and don’t you know that
It’s gonna be a Christmas to remember
