I believe in what I see
I believe in what I hear
I believe that what I’m feeling
Changes how the world appears
Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
who was very rarely stable.
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
who could think you under the table.
Bank job in the city.
Robin Hood and William Tell and Ivanhoe and Lancelot
They don’t envy me.
Sitting till the sun goes down,
In dreams the world keep going round and round.
Sittin’ in the mornin’ sun
I’ll be sittin’ when the evenin’ come
Watching the ships roll in
And then I watch ‘em roll away again, yeah
I’m sittin’ on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I’m just sittin’ on the dock of the bay
Wastin’ time
We’re busy doin’ nothin’
Workin’ the whole day through
Tryin’ to find lots of things not to do
We’re busy goin’ nowhere
Isn’t it just a crime
We’d like to be unhappy, but
We never do have the time
Oh listen to the people,
Who say I’m a failure and I’ve got nothing,
Oh, if they would only see
I’ve got my pride,
I’ve got no money,
But who needs a job when it’s sunny?
Everybody thinks I’m crazy,
And everybody says I’m dumb,
But when I see the people shouting at each other
I’d rather be an out of work bum.
So I’m just sitting in the midday sun
Take the longest day
Throw it all away
I can’t stand it
But I can’t do anything
Every day’s the same
Nothing ever change
I can’t stand it
But I can’t do anything
No, things don’t change that much, do they?
We are still out of touch
By now we should discover
Just how to love each other
Like Klaatu’s robot man
Your looks have killed again
I thought by now we’d live in space
And eat a pill instead of dinner
And wear a gas mask on our face
A President of female gender
Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit’s dead, there’s something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you…
Hark listen here he comes
Hark listen here he comes
Turning, spinning, Catherine wheeling
Forever changing, there’s no beginning
Speeding through a charcoal sky
Observe the truth we cannot hide
Travelling Eternity Road
What will you find there?
Carrying your heavy load
Searching to find a piece of mind
We watched the fireworks till they were fireflies.
Followed a path of stars over the endless skies.
Guide me through a maze of stars
Guide me to the birth of my race
Give me the answers to questions
Reveal to me secrets of life
Journey on the waves of time
We are stardust, we are golden
we are billion year old carbon
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden
Our whole universe was in a hot, dense state
Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started, wait
The earth began to cool, the autotrophs began to drool
Neanderthals developed tools
We built a wall (we built the pyramids)
Math, science, history, unraveling the mysteries
That all started with the big bang! Hey!
Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind
Possessing and caressing me
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars;
It’s a hundred thousand light-years side to side;
It bulges in the middle sixteen thousand light-years thick,
But out by us it’s just three thousand light-years wide.
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
I have the same dream every night
I wake up shaking in the morning light
I don’t know what could be expected of me
I only know that I believe what I see
And you, do you see what I see?
Yeah you, do you see what I see?
A star, a star, shining in the night,
With a tail as big as a kite!
With a tail as big as a kite!
When the night is darkest, open up your mind
Dream begins, it’s becoming clearer
Listen to the distant, listen and you’ll find
A midnight train is getting nearer
Starlight Express, Starlight Express
Are you real? Yes or no?
Starlight Express, please answer me yes
I don’t want you to go
