Out of Here
.
you don't understand and
you don't try and see
the white is too dull
we need the reds and the greens

you're big time now
on new york tv
a prime time fool
for everyone to see

can't see a heaven
is the sky isn't clear
you can't change a mind
if it doesn't want to here

will we ever get out of here
lets stop and think awhile
another time another place
where everyone smiles

you have the rights
or you seem to think
stopped dead in their tracks
other peoples dreams

all those ideas
questioned by doubt
i'm telling you man
you'd better get out

Can't stop the dance
if the song isn't done
you can't stop the change
outnumbered 100 to 1

you don't understand
you don't try and see
you're in the cage and
we've got the key

can't see the future 'til
its in front of you
but you can't escape it
the future brings the truth

Trapeze

(from Stacy's I Just Stare page)
.
can't believe she fell
the silence was unnerving
the crowd began to yell
was the thought of her returning
so you never knew him well
but you know what you've been seeing
these images of guilt
and the concrete in her hair
so far
these lions still need taming
its very sad very sad
no no
she fell very far very far
no no
for this cannonball this cannonball
as desperate as you felt
were you strong enough to leave him
oh you need to know him well
he's an angry acrobat
so you struggle with the will
with the will that you've been seeing
these images of guilt and the concrete in her hair
so far
these lions still need taming
its very sad very sad
no no
she fell very far very far
no no
for this cannonball this cannonball
and he walked away from
and he walked away from
and he walked away from
and he walked away from
and he walked away from
can't believe she fell
well it happened in a turning
struggle with the will but the thought
of this the thought of this

Dear Prudence

dear prudence, won't you come out to play
dear prudence, greet the brand new day
the sun is up, the sky is blue
it's beautiful and so are you
dear prudence won't you come out and play?
dear prudence open up your eyes
dear prudence see the sunny skies
the wind is low the birds will sing
that you are part of everything
dear prudence won't you open up your eyes?
look around round
look around round round
look around
dear prudence let me see you smile
dear prudence like a little child
the clouds will be a daisy chain
so let me see you smile again
dear prudence won't you let me see you smile?

Tomorrow Never Knows

listen to the colour of your dreams...
turn off your mind, relax and float downstream
then it's not dying, then it's not dying
lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void
and it is shining, it is shining
now you may see the meaning of within
it is being, it is being
love is all, love is everyone
and it is knowing, andit is knowing
let ignorance and hate mingle with dead
it is believing, it is believing
oh play the game, existence to the end
of the beginning, of the beginning
of the beginning, beginning
turn off your mind, relax and float downstream
it is not dying, it is not dying
play the game, existence to the end
of the beginning, of the beginning
of the beginning, of the beginning,
lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void
of the beginning, of the beginning, of the beginning

The Needle and the Damage Done

caught you knocking at my cellar door
love you baby can i have some more?
oh... the damage done
i hit the city and i lost my band
watched the needle take another man
gone gone, the damage done
ow... oh my my my...
sing the song because i love the man
know that some of you dont understand
milk blood to keep from running out
ow... oh my my my....
ive seen the needle and the damage done
oh a little part of us in everyone
ive seen the needle and the damage done
a little part, little part, little part
i've seen the needle
oh i
i've seen the needle
seen the needle and the damage done
a little part of us in everyone
every junkie's like a setting sun

Eternal Life

eternal life is now on my trail
got my red glitter coffin, man, just need one last nail
while all these ugly gentlemen play out their foolish games
there's a flaming red horizon that screams our names
and as your fantasies are broken in two
did you really think this bloody road would
pave the way for you?
you better turn around
and blow your kiss hello to life eternal, angel
racist everyman, what have you done?
man, you've made a killer of your unborn son...
crown my fear your king at the point of a gun
all i want to do is love everyone...
and as your fantasies are broken in two
did you really think this bloody road would
pave the way for you?
you better turn around
and blow your kiss hello to life eternal....
there's no time for hatred, only questions
what is love, where is happiness, what is life, where is peace?
when will I find the strength to bring me release?
and tell me where is the love in what your prophet has said?
man, it sounds to me just like a prison for the walking dead
and i've get a message for you and your twisted hell
you better turn around
and blow your kiss goodbye to life eternal, angel...
