Leigh Fordham sold me out 46 days and the coal ran out Please come round here another day Sit yourself down when you’re ready to stay She dug down when they took the town Lookin’ for clues but they couldn’t be found Leigh found out she was ready to roam 47 days and the coal came home Taste the fear For the devil’s drawing near
The circus is the place for me with bears and clowns and noise I love the shiny music that descends from overhead Gordon knew the moment when the stars all turned around But from that vantage point I frowned If life were easy and not so fast I wouldn’t think about the past I can’t forget to turn the earth so both sides get their share Of darkness and of light So now I wander over grounds of light And heat and sound and mist Provoking dreams that don’t exist A circus of light where dreams can take flight In the peacefulness dreaming dreams bring
Colonel Forbin stared up at the mountain And wiped away the beads of sweat That glistened on his brow His tired feet were buried in the quagmire And his bloodshot eyes saw all that lay between him And fulfillment of his vow And he felt his fingers wrap around a knotted root And pulled his body upwards To a sea green mossy boulder And he dragged his weary carcass up the mountain And he climbed so slowly He climbed so slowly Ahead Ahead Suddenly he heard the crack of thunder And the rocks began to crumble overhead And tumble down the mountain to the Dismal swamp that lay beneath the jagged cliffs Through which his path had led And the earth began to quake beneath his feet And the mighty mountain changed before his eyes And he stood amidst a sea of dust and rocks and stones Cascading down the mountain And a thousand birds were headed for the sky. Oh... The sacred creed will be yours And if you wait until tomorrow The sacred creed will be yours To devour Yours To seize And to obey Obey When the dust had cleared, the colonel lifted up his head And was driven to his knees by a blazing beam of light And he saw the silhouette that stood before him And he bowed in reverence Trembling in the shadow of the mighty legends form Icculus the prophet stood before his eyes Looking down on Colonel Forbin Where he shuddered in the puddles and the muck And he quietly addressed him And he spoke so slowly He spoke so slowly Ahead He said Colonel Forbin I know why youve come here And Ill help you in your quest to gain the knowledge that you lack Ill call upon my faithful friend the mockingbird To fly and seize the helping book and bring it to your shack The tree of knowledge in your soul will grow And the Helping Friendly Book will plant the seed But I warn you that all knowledge seeming innocent and pure Becomes a deadly weapon in the hands of avarice And greed The sacred creed will be yours And if you wait until tomorrow The sacred creed will be yours To devour Yours To seize And to obey And to obey Famous Mockingbird swooped down out of the sky and landed on Icculuss shoulder, and Icculus whispered into the birds ear, and it flew off toward Wilsons castle in the valley below...
My friend, my friend he’s got a knife A statement from his former life When he was easy but alone Beside him was an empty throne But what of silver silken blade Affix his gaze, his features staid Grasps the handle, clips the cable One steps up, sits at his table My friend, my friend, he’s got a knife My friend, my friend, he’s got a wife My friend, my friend, the clever ruse Persuasion through his thoughts peruse A hidden relic from his past That wasn’t there when he looked last He feels it ticking like a bomb Feeding fear, assaulting calm Takes the object, starts the game Moves it closer to the flame My friend, my friend, the clever ruse My friend, my friend, he lights the fuse My friend, my friend, he’s got a knife
Down with disease Three weeks in my bed Trying to stop these demons that keep dancing in my head Down with disease And Im up before the dawn A thousand barefoot children outside dancing on my lawn Dancing on my lawn And I keep Waiting for the time when I can finally say That this has all been wonderful but now I’m on my way But when I think it’s time to leave it all behind I try to find a way but there’s nothing I can say to make it stop Down with disease and the jungles in my mind They’re climbing up my waterfalls and swingin’ on my vines So I try to hear the music but I’m always losing time ‘Cause they’re stepping on my rhythm and they’re stealin’ all my lines Stealin’ all my lines and I keep Waiting for the time when I can finally say That this has all been wonderful but now I’m on my way But when I think it’s time to leave it all behind I try to find a way but there’s nothing I can say to make it stop
Friends If the lord ever comes Descending from the skies in some fiery fashion As so many say he will You will not see me Going joyously to greet him expecting my deliverance But running for the hills For if, such a day should come to pass This is no God come to save the human race But a big boat Like the ones our forefathers sailed Having made it across the great ocean to our shores From outer space And friends When that boat finally comes Ascending from the depths of our imagination To appear within our sight Well be born again As weve been so many times all throughout the ages When we find that were not right And with darkness lifted from our eyes Then well find what should come as no surprise Were on a big boat Like the ones our forefathers sailed Headed across the great ocean from our shores To outer space Friends
If you would stop and notice that we number every day But allow the many moments left uncounted slip away You don’t have to count them, just enjoy them one by one Then things would take a different hue and sparkle in the sun The winds would lift you up into the sky The winds would lift you up into the sky above Where you would see a trail of treasured memories you love A rainbow record of the thoughts and moments you’ve enjoyed Arcs behind the earth as spectral colors in the void In the void Scents and subtle sounds
Everythings overlapping To future to the passing We are only passing through Were vapor, light, and liquid blue Take a look around Its exactly how its supposed to be Take a look around The shapes are hanging over me Take a look around The shapes are hanging over you Take a look around Stop trying to rush nature Slow it down We will come to outlive our brains I see you in the distance as I frown We will come to outlive our brains I see you in the distance as I frown We will come to outlive our brains I see you in the distance as I frown We will come to outlive our brains I see you in the distance as I frown Nine cubes Nine cubes Nine cubes Nine cubes Nine cubes Nine cubes Nine cubes Nine cubes Nine cubes Nine cubes Nine cubes Nine cubes Im a glue in your magnet Im a glue in your magnet Im a glue in your magnet Im a glue in your magnet Im a glue in your magnet Im a glue in your magnet Im a glue in your magnet Im a glue in your magnet Im a glue in your magnet Im a glue in your magnet Im a glue in your magnet Im a glue Im a glue in your magnet Im a glue in your magnet Im a glue in your magnet Im a glue in your magnet Im the glue in your magnet We will come to outlive our brains We will come to outlive our brains We will come to outlive our brains We will come to outlive our brains We will come to outlive our brains
It’s no easy road This struggle and strife We find ourselves in the show of life What’s on the schedule What’s on your plan Do you ever ignore What you don’t understand Don’t ask me ’cause i don’t know I just fasten my seat belt wherever i go It’s been perfectly planned It’s completely insane It’s a revolving cast But it’s the same old game Waves of people They come and they go Shine for a while It’s a marvelous show It’s limited time that we exist We slowly make our way into the mist My thoughts are racing I see faces of the friends that i recall I’d like to take this time to thank you all Just as the blind imagine What it is to have sight We slowly take a stroll into the night It’s no easy road This struggle an strife We find ourselves in the show of life In the show of life In the show of life
Im looking through And it all would be so crystal clear If it wasnt for the foam But the foam keeps getting thicker And it just keeps getting harder And Im falling into a deep well Falling into a deep well Falling into a deep well Im looking through And it all would be so crystal clear If it wasnt for the foam But the foam keeps getting thicker And it just keeps getting harder And Im fall

Kitty Malone sat on a mule Was riding in style When suddenly, like the sound of a buzzard’s breaking Kitty felt laser beams being fired at her head She said, I hate laser beams And you never done see me askin’ For a UFO In Tomahawk County Well she kicked the mule And it walked the path And the aliens fired from behind Till she stopped the mule And she kicked the rump And the big old mule took a big old dump Scent of a mule, you better watch out where you go Take your laser beams away Scent of a mule, you better watch out where you go You better stop that laser game Or you’ll smell my mule She felt the fire against her neck And it saddened her to feel it burn When suddenly, like the sound of a breeding Holstein Kitty said, Stop, we ain’t lookin’ for fightin’ In Tomahawk County. A little guy from the UFO Came on out and said his name was Joe She said, Come on over for some lemonade Just follow me now with the whole brigade Scent of a mule… They walked into her cabin shack They had never seen a southern home And they liked it, better than their UFO They liked it, they really liked it They said, Here’s a place of elegance Here we shower ourselves in lightness
The shoulder that I leaned on was carved out of stone But when I’m done freezing I want to be alone Never want my hand cut off Never want a hacking cough Never need a cliffside push Never turn my brain to mush Always give me what I lack Always take the best parts back Always recognize your fate Always just a moment late Left is where I always turn Left is how I’m forced to learn Left the route my walking takes Left alone with my mistakes Up against a person who Up ’til now I never knew Up from hell the answer blew Up or down it’s up to you Drop me off the chinese wall And peel my fingers off the rim I come unglued while in mid-air And land to reform Limb by limb And I am taken far away Lingering slowly and melting away Tossed with the salad and baled with the hay Pooling like water that drips from above Trampled by lambs and pecked by the dove
Now that you’ve deceived me, and played my name around And hung those nasty flyers, on all the buildings in town Dribbled my possessions in a ring around the earth And bought and sold my self-control for less than it was worth Now I know the reason that I’m feeling so forlorn I’ll pick you up at eight as usual, listen for my horn
Every time I see her, she got new fancy clothes Every time I see her, she got new fancy clothes She took up all my money And threw poor me out the door Lord now standing there, aint got nowhere to go Lord now standing there, aint got nowhere to go Ive been down in bad condition now boy Cause Im alone down here Lord now standing there, aint got nowhere to go Lord now standing there, aint got nowhere to go Ive been down in bad condition now boy Cause Im alone down here Every time I see her shes gotten all the boys in town Every time I see her shes gotten all the boys in town Till she took up all our money, sure gonna put her down
I press on the elastic sheet, I’m breathing through a slice ‘Are they worms or are the serpents?’ bubbles through the ice The source was quite invisible, the ever-present voice While skating, both legs tracing different shapes, I made my choice I’m mimicking the image in whose radiance I bask I’m tied to him, or him to me, depending who you ask None the less reluctantly reflections tumble in I slide with all the other on the wrong side of the skin He’s fallen on the ice, it cracks Will he plunge in and join me here? He meets my eyes, to my surprise He laughs in full light of my frown My double wants to pull me down Slipping on the friction slide, my skin peels to the bone The flesh I leave behind, is something that is not my own I beg my mirror image for a moment with my soul He’s leaning back, time to attack, it’s me who’s in control And every move I make he’s got a hand up just in time He’s throwing several punches, and he’s blocking most of mine Defeated now I sulk and squirm above the frozen heights Waiting, calculating till he ventures onto the ice
Crab in my shoemouth Crab in my shoemouth Crab in my shoemouth Crab in my, crab in my, crab in my shoemouth Crab in my shoemouth Crab in my shoemouth Crab in my shoemouth Crab in my, crab in my, crab in my shoemouth
Guyute was the ugly pig Who walked on me and danced a jig That he had learned when he was six Then stopped and did some other tricks Like pulling weapons from his coat And holding them against my throat He lectured me in a language strange Then scampered quickly out of range I’m bouncing like a new born elf I can’t believe inside myself Guyute glances in my eyes And manages to hypnotize Me as I sleep the sleep of death He sucks from me my only breath That I had breathed since I was ten I hope this happens once again
Several times, uncontiously Ive stumbled upon the path And seen a mountain in the mist As rain falls on my shoulders Sun rises in the east A mourning bruise But I am here at least I guess im just an obsticle A thing to overcome If I could sneek around myself Again Ill know Ive won The moment seems to hang and float Before me with no end till Im released, awaken beast Im on the road again But now im soaring far to high A fleck of dust upin the sky Where tiny clouds go sailing by Pull me down today Woven in the fairy-tales We fabricate each day Our little golden strands of truth That glimmer in the light The colorful material You hold a certin way Can keep us from the cold And help to get us through the night But now im soaring far to high A fleck of dust upin the sky Where tiny clouds go sailing by Pull me down today x4 Oooooooooooooo Oooooooooooooo

I come from the land where the oceans freeze Spent three long months on the open seas Paddled til it seemed I could take no more When my ship hit ground on Prussias shores How was I to know that day That the winds had swept me Wilsons way Cause soon towards me from the East Came Wilson and his men on multi-beasts Well it seems he didnt like my face And I quickly learned that Prussia was an evil place They tied me to a chair with a giant clip And held a piece of paper to my tender nip Then they tossed the chair in a tiny shack And told me not to worry cause theyd soon be back But I loosened up the binds where my hands were lashed And ran towards the cove where my boat was stashed Singing Oh Wilson, someday Ill kill you til you die Oh Wilson, Punch you in the Eye When Wilson knew that I was loose Id surely be subjected to some real abuse Maybe end up hanging from the nearest tree So angrily I paddled to the open sea But the sea was eager to beat me back And the waves grew huge and deadly black And the gray clouds rumbled over my head And I feared in my heart that Id soon be dead When the morning came and the storm had passed And the dismal fog began at last To open up before my eyes And there I saw to my surprise Chains and specks of islands curved Where palm trees dipped and seagulls swerved And I parked my kayak on a stone And yelled across the ocean to his evil throne I said Oh Wilson, someday Ill kill you til you die Oh Wilson, Punch you in the Eye Wilson, kill you til you die Oh Wilson, Punch you in the Eye

I am a prince i have it all I hear your footsteps through the wall I wait in silence for your call Then take a shot and watch you fall I am a ghost but i cannot fly I’m stuck here as the years slide by I need a resting place ’cause i Already felt my body die If i had a host of ghosts Living on my street I’d jive and strive to stay alive And offer them some meat I need a different life i think Perhaps i’d be the missing link And treasure moments as i drink Away the memories let them sink
Harry! Harry! Where do you go when the lights go out Harry! Harry! Where do you go? Thank you Mr. Miner Thank you Mr. Hood I can feel good about Hood! You can feel GOOD!
I’m up, and I can take what you give I’m here, but I don’t want you to live With me, cause all I want is a taste For free I’m down, and I will drag you along and Around, until you burst into song and Unwind, and leave your new life behind for A while Cause I can see through the lines I can see through the lines I’m down, and I will drag you along and Around, until you burst into song and Unwind, and leave your new life behind for A while I’m out, and I will stay here alone And without, someone controlled by the phone And tv, ’cause what it’s doing to me Is fine Cause I can see through the lines I can see through the lines Step into space Alter my place That someone else made Why I have stayed Into things i could be Or if I could see Into fog that surrounds And pins me to the ground I can see through the lines I can see through the lines I can see through the lines I can see through the lines
All the way home we felt we had a chance To review the coulds before we were born And to invite a new game of cant’s Absorbed in the clouds, a voice from afar said “With the right device you can make a pattern grow Or you can tune up your car” So we stayed on the train admiring the time As the lights of the city drew near We drank a little wine They were blurry and green, outer space in between With a depth and a form unclear Then we saw it up ahead A flickering lantern lit up on the tracks In the rugs that had covered up the bridge From the banks of a river To the bed of a valley upstream To the place where you live The glass from the lantern cast back the sight Of a drive-in movie we drove by below We saw where we’d been in the pictures within Projecting all the places we would go So we followed the scene and flowed up your steps To a smooth wooden floor in a trance The train whistle melody wove through the trees And in through the door to signal the turns of a dance
Meanwhile, in the main square in Prussia, the state of the revolution was taking another turn for the worst. A crowd of townspeople had gathered to witness the hanging of Wilsons accountant, Mr. Palmer. It seemed that Palmer had been a revolutionary himself and had been extorting Wilsons money to fund the revolution. Palmer stood on the scaffold with Wilson and the AC/DC Bag, an electrified robot-hangman with a black bag over his head. Wilson seemed pleased as he began to speak Mr. Palmer is concerned with the thousand dollar question Just like Roger, hes a crazy little kid Ive got the time if youve got the inclination So cheer up Palmer, youll soon be dead The noose is hanging, at least you wont die wondering Sit up and take notice Tell it like it is If I were near you I wouldnt be far from you Ive got a feeling you know what you did AC/DC Bag AC/DC Bag AC/DC Bag DC Bag AC/DC Bag AC/DC Bag AC/DC Bag DC Bag Time to put your money where your mouth is Put em in a field and let em fight it out Im running so fast my feet dont touch the ground Im a stranger here Im going down Lets get down to the nitty gritty Lets get this show on the road Ill show you mine if you show me yours Im breathing hard, open the door AC/DC Bag AC/DC Bag AC/DC Bag DC Bag AC/DC Bag AC/DC Bag AC/DC Bag DC Bag Brain dead, and made of money No future at all Pull down the blinds and run for cover No future at all Who wouldve thought it, thats where I am No future at all Dont sweat it, thats where I am Whoa, carry me down, down, down, down
She started a blaze from one tiny spark I didn’t even detect She loved the light, was dismayed by the dark The stars though she seemed to respect The faint light that flutters at night to the earth Would land in her eyes and collect Luminous creatures she’d find in the surf I never thought to inspect Pebbles and marbles like things on my mind Seem to get lost and harder to find When I am alone I am inclined If I find a pebble in sand To think that it fell from my hand She gave me ideas Planted the seed But she never stopped to reflect The course that she’s on, wherever it leads I never would redirect Pebbles and marbles like words from a friend Make us hold tight but are lost in the end When we’re alone we all seem to tend If we find a marble in dust To wish someone left it for us
Much ado is all I see And I feel like it’s surrounding me The crowd intrudes all day ’Til I’m finally swept away Im finally swept away Im finally swept away Im finally swept away...

I spoke your name for many days Pronouncing it in several ways And moving letters all around And when you heard the end result I told you it was not my fault If you were here more of the day It wouldn’t twist around that way
Theyre tying a blindfold cross my eyes I rest my face down Skidding on switchbacks near the sides Gonna try to bust out Get up, jump out, dont wait, gotta get away Hop off, roll down, spring up, live another day Sprint on cobblestones past the tracks They kept my money and my water Don’t wanna run ‘cause I want it back But I know I really ought to If I dont break away clean I might stray from the scene Make an escape when it arrives: The 555 They bought my soul for a pile of cash Everybody else got paid out Theyre closing in I gotta dash I gotta find a way out Hop off, roll down, spring up, live another day Get up, jump out, dont wait

The old man knows very well Going down by the snowbank, there’s a mound A mound that an old man knows good Look who raises his shoe all over this mound Right over the world that’s another rewind And it’s time, time, time for the last rewind For a broken old man and a world unkind He buried all his memories of home In an icy clump that lies beneath the ground No one knows how far he traveled Oh! I heard he walked miles from the little mound Can he find some shelter? He doesn’t know to behold what the cold frost can do And at last till he realized he’d circled back around Round a back circle, round a back realized And it’s time, time, time for the last rewind For a broken old man and a world unkind He buried all his memories of home In an icy clump that lies beneath the ground Ice is all he was made of The bitter blue, and frozen through He went over to the mound Reclining down his final thoughts Were drifting to the time this life had shined
I’m leaving you a message, I’m leaving you a trace I’m leaving thoughts for you I hope that time will not erase And when the moment comes to read the words that I engrave You’ll find them on the walls of the cave I know you heard the question but you didn’t make a sound And when it fell you caught my heart before it hit the ground But if you ever need the names of those you couldn’t save You’ll find them on the walls of the cave Look at me The time stands still The mountain here is now a hill Look away The time goes past These rocks will fall away at last Maybe you will see it as you’re passing by alone Below the moss forgotten where some words adorn a stone It might have been an etching on a marker of a grave Or maybe on the walls of the cave Listen to The silent trees But still your words float on the breeze Look away I see them all Carved into the cavern wall

I can’t describe the feeling when I’m in my bed asleep and then I wake up with a vision blurred And all my efforts are deterred To reconstruct this image lost There’re certain things my mind won’t do And even though they’re very few The image glistens like a gem Repairing is not one of them So i’m awake though in my mind The image that so unrefined Is calling to me from the deep Tempting me to fall asleep

Summer sitting out by the pool A ray of sunshine getting in my way Close your eyes and wish that it were cool everyday And I wish it could be back the other way But whats dissolved aint coming back today Close your eyes and wish that it were Close your eyes and wish that it were Axilla, axilla, axilla, axilla Never understood what my body was for Thats why I always leave it layin out on the floor The shape a curiosity Where different faces fit before And tracing my image in the sand To pass the time from slip to fall The line I trace begins to weave A tangled web from wall to wall
Lost my shape Trying to act casual! Cant stop I might end up in the hospital Im changing my shape I feel like an accident Theyre back! To explain their experience Isnt it weird Looks too obscure to me Wasting away And that was their policy Im ready to leave I push the fact in front of me Facts lost Facts are never what they seem to be Nothing there!

It’s time I sling the baskets off this overburdened horse Sink my toes into the ground and set a different course Cause if I were here and you were there I’d meet you in between And not until my dying day, confess what I have see
The feelings not the same In fact its getting pretty tame Its just not that great anymore I guess Ill go outside And flag a weasel for a ride And take it on down to the shore Wallowing in fear The days and weeks that youre not here Was all the waiting in vain? The day that you arrived My sleeping monkey is revived But you sent him home on the train Home on the train Whyd you send my monkey on a train? The day that you arrived My sleeping monkey is revived But you sent him home on the train

Oh tequila I turn to you like a long lost friend I want to kiss my Mexican cousin once again We’ll cover every emotion from happiness to sorrow And the conversations I forget you’ll tell me about tomorrow When the phone calls start, am I in bed or in a hearse? The things you tell me about myself can’t make me feel any worse Well I’m awful sorry you got pissed Just have to cross you off the list Of my true friends… And tequila’s where that starts and where it ends
Listen as she speaks to you Hear the voices flutter through The barriers arranged by you Close the shutters draw the shades Filter out the everglades Glistening with evening dew Thunder calls through waterfalls Rising tide and ocean walls I can hear you when you sigh Watch them and let them lie I can hear you when you sigh Through the water in the sky
Just got back from Kill Devil Falls Draped my water-logged clothes in the hall Reach for a beer, glad that I’m here When I realize that you’re not around Turned on some music and then the tv Go through the pile of mail waiting for me Something I spied makes me pull it aside A letter from your hometown How could you leave me? You heard what I said I’d be at the waterfall clearing my head Soaking up nature and thinking of you And leaving’s the last thing I thought you would do I didn’t plan to stop at the bar But Kill Devil Falls is really so far Who knew a day would turn into a week But I learned my lesson And I can still remember the last one But this time will be different Until I do it again Stared at the ceiling for over a day But none of my questions are answered this way Won’t make any calls I’ll just bounce off the walls

Ocelot, ocelot where have you gone Morning is over and noon slouches on Your stripes could all fade in the poisonous day When you see the sunlight move out of the way You prance with the beasts who parade every night And silently slouch through the forest by light Don’t be the only one left on the block Come hide in the herd And float with the flock Ocelot, ocelot where are you now You never listen to me anyhow You wandered and ambled, you walk now you run Knowing you’ll bake like a snake in the sun Ocelot, ocelot where are you now? Won’t you come out to play?

I can hold my breath for a minute or so Five days without food is as long as I’ll go I didn’t sleep once for four days and three nights I once didn’t stop for seven red lights I jumped into water that’s fifty degrees I rowed in a kayak in thirty-foot seas I stayed in the woods for a week with a knife A flint when I lost it nearly cost me my life Twenty years later I’m still upside down It’s a small world And it’s turning real fast Here upside down It’s a new day And the mourning has passed Turned upside down It’s a short road But the mountains are tall Land upside down It’s a small world But we all start out small I hurtle through air though I feel I’m alone I stick with the others to the skin of the stone I stop for a stranger just to give him a lift I cling like a lizard to the side of the cliff I treat every minute like an hour and then It seems like a year has just flashed by again We build a foundation but where do we stand When all air is water and all water is land Twenty years later I’m still upside down Feel it turning in circles And you’re never the same again Spin slowly while sounds cascade And became I’m here upside down Inside this silent scene All are free, all are free Second time around

A flash of light Another moment stolen from my soul A thunderclap Again I must surrender all control Sudden noises startle me And strange things in my mind Haunt me and Im running scared Running out of time There are days when sunlight Seems to lift me from my bed And other times I face the light With eyelids full of lead Light and dark pass quickly by With no dividing line I follow but Im running scared Running out of time Light and dark pass quickly by With no dividing line I follow but Im running scared Running out of time
Id catapult downtown To see the galleries And my favorite fiancee In a lavender gown But Im hooked up to a machine It performs my daily functions Through a tube in my wien And today that thing malfunctioned Like a forest fire It burnt a hole in me and I perspired So there aint gonna be a wedding No love affair No art to which none compares
Anger he smiles, towering in shiny metallic purple armour Queen jealousy, envy waits behind him Her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground Blue are the life-giving waters taken for granted They quietly understand Once happy turquoise armies lay opposite ready But wonder why the fight is on But theyre all bold as love, yes, theyre all bold as love Yeah, theyre all bold as love Just ask the axis My red is so confident that he flashes trophies of war and Ribbons of euphoria Orange is young, full of daring But very unsteady for the first go round My yellow in this case is not so mellow In fact Im trying to say its frigthened like me And all these emotions of mine keep holding me from, eh Giving my life to a rainbow like you But, Im eh , yeah, Im bold as love Yeah, yeah Well Im bold, bold as love Im bold as love Just ask the axis Yeah, yeah, yeah
Up all night and Im waiting for you to come home Waiting all night Waiting all night Mind is racing and Im wondering what I did wrong Waiting all night Waiting all night Where could you be Im so alone Wont you please come home Suns coming up And Im rolling over But Im holding on Waiting all night And I said Im sorry Waiting all night But you went so far away Waiting all night Don’t know why you Waiting all night Left me this way Waiting all night Just sail on, sail on
I can see the light between me and my mind I can feel memories fall behind And the light is growing brighter now I see the future is less and less there And the past has vanished in the air And I’m left and I’m now with a wondrous glow I think I’m still me But how would you know? It takes a few moments of whirling around Before your feet finally leave the ground And fending off fears and hearing the call And finally waiting for nothing at all Obstacles are stepping-stones That guide us to our goals Fences are filters That purify our souls
Tela reached out her hand and helped Forbin on to the back of the multi-beast, and together they rode off into the forest As they rode, Tela explained to him about Wilson and the Helping Friendly Book. She told the colonel that she was part of a revolution to overthrow the evil king. The leader of the revolution was a Lizard named Errand Wolfe who was out to avenge the death of his son Roger. Roger, she said, had been executed by Wilson at the age of fourteen on suspicion of treason. He had been abducted from his home and hung in the public square

Take me to another place, she said Take me to another time Run with me across the oceans Float me on a silver cloud If I could I would, but I dont know how If I could I would, but I dont know how If I could I would and Id take you now Stay with me till time turns over I want to feel my feet leave the ground Take me where the whispering breezes Can lift me up and spin me around If I could I would, but I dont know how If I could I would, but I dont know how If I could I would and Id take you now Hear you laughing as we go Flipping backward through the doors and through the windows Im melting into nothing If I could I would, but I dont know how If I could I would, but I dont know how If I could I would and Id take you now

Colonel Forbin stared at the fourteen bars that stood at the end of the cell. He ran his hand across the cold, damp dungeon wall and thought again about the door. He had traveled through the door out of necessity. Once he knew it existed, he simply couldnt leave it alone. Just like Wilson. Just like Tela. Just like Errand Wolfe. And he sat in the dungeon, and he realized that he was back again, through the door. And through the tiny window in the corner of his cell, he heard the distant strains... Errand... Errand... Errand... Errand...

The next morning at the camp, Errand Wolfe and Rutherford stood frozen in awe as the Famous Mockingbird flew out of the sky and laid the Helping Friendly Book at their feet. The quest for the book had dragged on for so many years that its sudden appearance left the men staring in disbelief, unsure of what their next move should be The shock wore off quickly though, and Errand Wolfe shot into high gear. He snatched up the book with one hand and the Famous Mockingbird with the other, and began to inform Rutherford of this plan. He would first kill Wilson, and then put the Helping Friendly Book to work for him With Rutherfords aid he fastened the Famous Mockingbird to a pole, with glue and rubber bands, to insure the secrecy of his mission, and then set out to find the only man in Gamehendge who could handle the job of eliminating a King
By that night, news of Palmers death had traveled back to the camp. Spirits were low and Colonel Forbin felt devastated. Even though he had only been in Gamehendge for one day, he had already developed a deep hatred for Wilson. He wanted desperately to help the revolutionaries, but without Palmer, it seemed hopeless He wandered slowly through the camp and passed Errand Wolfe, sitting by the fire with Rutherford, who had returned that afternoon. He walked on and soon found himself outside of Telas hut. Forbin knocked and walked in. Tela sat behind a makeshift desk in the center of a room that was littered with small cages containing spotted stripers, a tiny three-legged breed of animal. The unit monster sat in the corner. The colonel took a step toward Tela and spoke. I needed to come here tonight, he said, to tell you that Ive fallen in love with you. He looked to her eyes for approval, but her face remained frozen in an expressionless stare An awkward blanket of silence fell over the room and hung for a long moment before being shattered by the sound of the door swinging violently open. It was Rutherford the Brave. The ironclad knight rushed across the room and gripped the throats of Tela and the unit monster in each of his mighty hands. They struggled to break free but even the unit monster was no match for Rutherfords power and soon it was over. The bodies fell to the floor in a lifeless heap. Colonel Forbin stepped forward from where he stood in the corner, unable to contain his confusion and rage and screamed Wh? His question was answered by Errand Wolfe who had quietly slipped through the doorway during the confusion. She was a spy, he said, and explained to Forbin that she had been sending information to Wilson using the spotted stripers as carriers. Rogers death had aroused his suspicion, and Palmers had confirmed it The colonel stood in silence in a world that had turned up-side-down so many times that he no longer knew which way was up. It had all seemed so simple when he first arrived. Good versus evil, and of course he had sided with good as he had done all his life. And now, he stood and stared into the eyes of Errand Wolfe and he saw evil. The entire picture began to seem like an enormous puzzle with one piece missing, and the colonel knew what that piece was. Within twenty-four hours, he said to Errand Wolfe, you will have the Helping Friendly Book. And even as the words were leaving his lips, he found himself running out the door and into the forest, not towards Prussia, but toward the great mountain looming in the distance
Verse:] Time is me, and I should know I knew this several months ago I knew more than I do now For I’ve been turned around somehow Relax, the world will spin beside itself and suck you in With threats and hopes beyond compare I change the landscape as I pass Meandering from sand to glass I suction there for one whole day Until the feeling goes away I don’t need these orbits in my life Revolve and cycle through Don’t keep coming back for more I don’t need this circular design Wheel and spin away from me You’ve been by here before I’ve lost my mind I’ve lost my way I’m bound to lose You wonder where I am

Steal away, let’s steal a car You’ll never win a major only shooting par Step outside, feel the sun It’s only you, be you, ‘cause you’re the only one And it feels good ‘cause it feels good And it feels good Nothing lasts, nothing stays Caught in this procession of unchanging days What’s new is old, what’s old is gone You’re pushed up to the edge, so put your wingsuit on Put your wingsuit on (And it feels good ‘cause it feels good And it feels good) And gliding away, you fly where you choose There’s nothing to say and nothing to lose Steal away, paint the sky Put your wingsuit on And gliding away, you fly where you choose There’s nothing to say, and nothing to lose Time to put your wingsuit on
Sometimes when the evenings young The wind dies down, the setting sun Crochets the clouds with yarn so fine And fills the oceans with red wine The trees, the sky, the forest fair Bring a flavor to the air I raise my glass and in a while You answer with a secret smile Hold on, hold on to me An airborne leaf that landed near Has carried Dionysus here Hell slip away but only when He sees our glasses filled again
The winter queen looks up and sighs: I wish that I controlled the skies For up above is where to stand To rule those who walk on the land The summer queen flies by and sees Her realm of butterflies and bees And said, I wish I lived below Instead I sail where breezes blow And the rain came down It tried to seep Into the ground But water deep Pecked and poked And sodden soil Already soaked Began to roil The prince of silence walks below Inside a cave of ice and snow He says I wonder why? but words Are locked in glaciers, never heard The prince of music on guitar Neglects to play a single bar But music trapped inside his head Resounds and fills the space instead The winter queen looks up and sighs...
The terrible thing about hell Is that when you’re there you can’t even tell As you move throught this life you love so You could be there and not even know But you say so what i’m doing just fine The irony is that is’t all in your mind And that is why hell is so vicious and cruel But you’ll just go on an oblivious fool

I’m floating in the blimp a lot I feel the feeling i forgot Of swimming weightless in the womb Or bouncing gently ’round the room In a minute i’ll be free And you’ll be splashing in the sea I feel no curiosity I see the path ahead of me In a minute i’ll be free We’ll hear a tiny cry As the ship goes sliding by
