Too far from the nest
To ask such question
How did I
Get stuck on the ground?
When did you first
Get the impression
I would stand strong
While you're fooling around?
Two will not do
Everything I've done
You undo
Two, we'll not see
You make me half
Of what I can be
A seperate living
A foreign equation
We must turn our backs
And be free of the pain
I'm not forgiving
My high expectation
You slipped through the cracks
Now go back to the rain

Let Go
03:07
|
|||
|
What makes us leave
When we don't know where to go?
Was I just there?
Or did I really know?
Let myself breathe
Just relax and let it flow
Why can't I see
What the others seem to know?
Let go, just know
That you won't be coming home
Let know, just go
Oh they won't be coming home
Float yourself free
All the time is good for you
How can it be
That you don't know what to do?
It's just a phase
Just a glaze, a state of mind
Free from the plays
Your new world will seem more kind

You are not a machine
We're meant for greater things than this
Sad excuse for a life
Walking in the same old lines
Believing the same lies
It's time to open up your eyes
Put the heart back into art
Passion into life
Dance the pain away
In the dark we'll be the light
They will never see
The world that only we have seen
Boring and mundane
They'll complain about the rain
We are not machines
And the rust will not remain
Put the heart back into art
Passion into life
Dance your pain away
In the dark we'll be the light

The Reality
03:59
|
|||
|
I don't like being told
I'm not like I once was
Sorry I don't fit the mould
Seasons change, and everybody does
I say I don't like to live
Pinned down by society
I give what I've got to give
Be it strange, it's what's inside of me
Dreams are the reality
You have to close your eyes to see
Is there ever two the same?
You've got to move to play the game

This Is All You Need
02:59
|

|
This is all you need
This is all you need
This is all you need from me
This is all I am
This is all you get
This is all I can, can give
This is all you need
If you wanna feel better
This is all you need
Feel at home at last
As the story turns
As the story turns
As the story turns, you'll dance
This is all you need
This is all I need
This is all I need from you
This is all you need
If you wanna feel better
This is all you need
Feel at home at last

Rock And Roll Is Love
03:24
|
|||
|
You won't catch the wind
You just don't have control
You won't drown the sound
The sound of my soul
Because rock and roll is love
Rock and roll is love
Rock and roll is love
Rock and roll is love
I give to you everything
That I dream of
Because of you
Everything feels right
I'm holding you like
A red guitar
I'm holding you like
My very own star
Because rock and roll is love
Rock and roll is love
Rock and roll is love
Rock and roll is love

Cosmic Love
02:59
|
|||
|
I love your silent age
The planets can't upstage
What you've made me feel
When at the river's end
You'll be my only friend
And you know it's real
We don't have to hear
What's right or wrong
Live our life in song
Even with nothing to say
We'll feel love in every way
It's cosmic love

After All
03:48
|
|||
|
And after all, you should
Take your chances before the fall
'Cos who knows when it's time
And you've got to change your mind
Make your peace before the door
Please don't waste your love no more
And I hope that you may find
That being loved is not a crime

Life, it takes so long
So many years and then you're gone
Without one
Love, it gets so rough
When you feel you can't get enough
Without one
Oh without one
You feel that your love is just a gun
And everyone is on the run
But I have found my way
I found my better, brighter day
I found one
I'll always know the reason why
I'll love you past the day I die
We are one
Oh with the one
You feel that your love has just begun
And love that's real will always rise the sun

Great Horse

Great Horsey Champer Goldbraid
Pranced proudly
In the garden dithers
With the Sun
Dipped diving with his horned onyx saddle
Shining in the black aped eyeballs
Of the gun
When the great apple falls
She'll be queen of your halls
Tall bowman from the burnt pastures
Saw Champer and he bowed ground kissing
To his lord
Strange beastie from the legend lair Sire,
I can master with the aid of this
Skull powdered cord

Love you
Oh girl I do
Love you
Come the sun
See it run
Across the sky
Cosmic eye
Is for you
And no one else
Love you
Oh girl I do
Love you
Come the sun
See it run
Across the sky
See it cry
For you
And no one else
Tree wizard puretongue
The digger of holes
The swan king
The Elf lord
The eater of souls
Lithon the black
The rider of stars
Tyrannosaurus Rex
The eater of cars
