Branching off, the road winds east
Deluxe locations just near completion
Come dine with wine, an oyster feast
The pearls are real, have one for free
They’re washed up by the foam waved sea
Her royal gown is a satin dress
That’s stained and slightly torn;
Her sparkling jewels are rhinestones
And her shoes are scuffed and worn.
The suit of clothes is all together
But all together, it’s all together
The most remarkable suit of clothes that I have ever seen.
These eyes of mine at once determined
The sleeves are velvet, the cape is ermine
The hose are blue and the doublet is a lovely shade of green.
Somebody send for the Queen.
In the distance I saw a woman
Dressed in black with eyes of grey
She wore her pain like a shackled spirit
Eternal life was her debt to pay
The lady wore black
It’s the sign of the prisoners lives
The lady wore black
See the years through the tears in her eyes
You wanted to get somewhere so badly
You had to lose yourself along the way
You change your name well that’s okay
It’s necessary
And what you leave behind you don’t miss anyway
Goodbye
You can keep this suit of lights
I’ll be up with the sun
I’m not coming down
So don’t delay, act now, supplies are running out
Allow if you’re still alive, six to eight years to arrive
And if you follow, there may be a tomorrow
But if the offer is shunn’d, you might as well be walkin’ on the sun
Look at him running, there’s so far to go
He’s very short of breath
And he’d said don’t be late, just don’t be late
With his parcel tucked tight under his arm
He’s sure he’s passed half way
And he’d said don’t be late, just don’t be late
I shot the sun
This tear of God
I shot the sun, baby
I don’t want to be myself
Well, baby, I just want to run, oh
You gotta breathe, you bastard, breathe
Whoa yeah, breathe, you bastard, breathe
Straight into the sun
The sun is mass of incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace
Where hydrogen is built into helium at a temperature of millions of degrees
Yo ho, it’s hot, the sun is not a place where we could live
But here on earth there’d be no life without the light it gives
The light of truth always outshines the light of the sun
Sometimes I think it’s a shame
When I get feeling better when I’m feeling no pain
Sundown, you better take care
If I find you been creeping 'round my back stairs
Sundown, you better take care
If I find you been creeping 'round my back stairs
Sometimes I think it’s a sin
When I feel like I’m winning when I’m losing again
When I look back upon my life
It’s always with a sense of shame
I’ve always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too
It’s a, it’s a, it’s a, it’s a sin
If your head feels like it’s two miles wide,
You’ll feel better once you testify (testify, testify, testify)
If you feel that it’s real I’m on trial
And I’m here again in your prison
Like a coin in your mint
I am dented and I’m spent with high treason
Through a glass eye your throne
Is the one danger zone
Take me to the pilot for control
Take me to the pilot of your soul
Highway to the Danger Zone
I’m gonna take you right into the Danger Zone
Highway to the Danger Zone
Help I’m steppin’ into the Twilight Zone
The place is a madhouse
Feels like being cloned
He went to find a shooting star,
Around the bend, that’s where they are.
I went along just for the ride,
Suddenly I began to slide.
Standing in a slide zone,
I could be steppin’ in a slide zone.
Standing in a slide zone,
I could be steppin’ through a time zone.
It’s about time,
It’s about space,
About strange people in the strangest place.
It’s about time,
It’s about flight,
Travelin’ faster than the speed of light.
Faster than light, we’re traveling time through the wormhole
Out of the night, into a vortex of fire
Time slips away as we plunge into unknown dimensions
A brilliant display, quenching my deepest desires
Will it take us where we want to be?
Will it show us what we want to see?
Starship trooper, go sailing on by
Catch my soul, catch the very light
Hide the moment from my eager eye
Though you’ve seen them, please don’t tell a soul
What you can’t see, can’t be very whole
