Is This Where
03:46

Seven lamps lighting up the night
The serpent is shedding its skin
Fire blazing across the sky
Is this where I come in
Saturn's rings shining beautifully
Spirit speaking through the wind
Shimmering stars trapped behind bars
Is this where I come in
Approaching angel with a burning heart
Hearing the voices from within
With a chalice at the palace of the fairy queen
Is this where I come in
Sparkling rain running down the trees
And I see your reflection once again
Open window in the back of your mind
Is this where I come in
Circle square triangle in the air
Trading places with my twin
Now I stand at the door and knock
Is this where I come in
Candy mountains and honey streams
Crystal spirals in a spin
If you can hear my voice open the door
Is this where I come in

Ouroboros
03:03
|
|||
|
Purple sky lit up by a falling star
Little Richard on the line wondering where you air
Making plans today as a tribute to tomorrow
Daffodils and tulips surround you with their aura
Ouroboros tattoo on the bank manager's hand
Giving you his praise, helping you understand
Ouroboros tattoo on the lifeguard's back
Saving your life then back to the safety shack
Faces passing by in the hustle of a bustling crowd
Shadow on the sky wraps you up in its shroud
Hunter on the plain running wild with the hounds
Baby's got it made getting paid by the pound
Ouroboros tattoo on the bank manager's hand
Giving you his praise, helping you understand
Ouroboros tattoo on the mall Santa's face
Granting your wishes and then vanishing without a trace
Unraveling the mystery of a hot summer night
My knight in shining armor, my soul's delight
Half fire, half water, part dark, part light
I was kneeling at your altar, now I'm banished from your sight
Ouroboros tattoo on the bank manager's hand
Giving you his praise, helping you understand
Ouroboros tattoo on the jazz man's chest
Healing your wounds and leaving you there to rest

Ozzy Osbourne
03:40
|
|||
|
Glass in the yellow haze
Melting in the sun's rays
Ozzy Osbourne walking in a daze
Rolling in the mud
Wisdom of the blood
Bats pour down like raindrops in the flood
Black night putting my nerves to the test
Like I knew I was the best, like I was better than the rest
Wild child putting the first things first
Like I knew I was the worst, ready to quench my thirst
Zoning out in the sound
Vibration all around
Ozzy Osbourne hovering over the ground
Hearing the song of the bricks
Wandering into the sticks
Finding hidden rooms inside the mix
Black night putting my nerves to the test
Like I knew I was the best, like I was better than the rest
Wild child putting the first things first
Like I knew I was the worst, ready to quench my thirst

Liquid Crystal
03:11

If I could see liquid crystal dancing on the wind
I would never have to go to sleep again
All around the world waiting for the show to begin
Just a chance to see that glory again
And if my dreams were as sweet as that beautiful sight
I would sleep forever in an endless night
I would succumb, no I would not put up a fight
Just to see that glimmer go drifting by
Climb the mountain, chop down the tree
Yes I would live in the desert mysteriously
Crawl on broken glass eternally
Just to have that Christmas all around me
Radiant jewel up in the sky
Burning tears in my eyes but I don't know why
It shines it shimmers yeah what a surprise
Just to see that glimmer go drifting by
If I could see liquid crystal dancing on the wind
I would never have to smell the roses again
Make my home in the hyena's den
Just a chance to see that glory again
And if the day were as sweet as that beautiful sight
I would marry the sunbeams and murder the night
Change into a creature of the light
Just to see that glimmer go drifting by

Wave Party
03:17
|

|
We're gonna have a wave party tonight
Slip into the ceiling and pour down from the lights
Bring out the blues, bring out the greens
I wanna get lost in these magazines
We're gonna go to the hidden city today
Storming through the forest til we lose our way
Bring out the thorns, bring out the stones
Watch me tremble as I approach the throne
Talk with the shadows, talk with the dead
You'll never guess what the rose bush said
Talk with the wires, talk with the walls
Meeting with the horses in their stalls
We're gonna see the exorcist tonight
Cast out all the demons and feel alright
Bring out the smoke, bring out the wheel
I wanna get lost in a classic feeling
We're gonna meet the sorcerer today
Pulling out the hours from the swamp of decay
Bring out the fog, bring out the snake
Living in exile by the lake
Talk with the shadows, talk with the dead
You'll never guess what the rose bush said
Talk with the wires, talk with the walls
Meeting with the horses in their stalls

How Can I Be Real
02:50
|

How can I be real
I don't wanna fake
How can I be real
I'm ready to break
Tears on my face
Balloons in space
How can I face
The real with you
How can I be real
I don't wanna fade
How can I be real
If I'm afraid
Everything in its place
Making a case
How can I taste
The real with you
I saw you through a window
I saw you through a shelf
Chandelier on the balcony
But where are you
How can I be real
between the lines
How can I be real
going out of my mind
Going half blind
Champagne and wine
How can I find
The real with you
I saw you through a window
I saw you through a shelf
Chandelier on the balcony
But where are you
How can I be real
I don't wanna fake
How can I be real
I'm ready to break
Tears on my face
Balloons in space
How can I face
The real with you

Rust Under the Hood
03:29
|
|||
|
Could you give me some time?
You know that haste makes waste
Is It considered a crime
to lose the race without grace
I forgot all my lines
In this worldwide play
It ain't funny no more
I've been losing face
Will you tell my friend Joe
I saw her daughter by the water
Tide's up time to go
She's been out looking for her father
And the kid wants to know
If she should even bother
She's been talking to
the herons and the otters
Rust under the hood
Baby knock on wood
Nerve damage in the neighborhood
And the good thing grows wild
For miles and miles and miles
Should I ride on this wave
Or just wait another year
Sat on this board all day
But the action ain't clear
I think I'm drifting away
Or maybe I was never here
I've been hearing the song
Mermaids must be near
Rust under the hood
Baby knock on wood
Nerve damage in the neighborhood
And the good thing grows wild
For miles and miles and miles

Craters of the Moon
03:51
|
|||
|
I want you to paint graffiti
On every surface in the cities of my soul
Engrave your name in the tomb
On the walls of every room in my soul
When or where can broken dreams
Climb the stairs to what they mean
Will they bear their teeth any more
Nowhere to swim on that shore
I want you to take me under
The waves in the thunder of your soul
Weave your pattern thread and loom
On the craters of the moon in your soul
When or where can broken dreams
Climb the stairs to what they mean
Will they bear their teeth any more
Nowhere to swim on that shore

Easier
04:13
|

|
Easier done than said
To bury yourself right up to your head
To walk among the living dead
To go without your daily bread
Easier said than done
To try and have a little fun
To stay up late and walk in the sun
To just hang loose and love someone
To really let go and love someone
And she said all souls ride the wheel
Whether or not you believe it's real
I said man you must be crazy
All this corn's got me talking real hazy
She said that we are just butterflies
With poisonous spikes driven into our eyes
Don't believe their lies
And that's easier done than said
To bury yourself right up to your head
To walk among the living dead
To go without your daily bread

Crooked Line
02:36
|
|||
|
The art of the crooked line
Zig zag down backroads
Just trying to get by
So very fine
The art of the butterfly
Chrysalis in motion
Not ready to die
Fireworks in the sky
Lifetimes of jewelry
Schoolyard tomfoolery
Missed opportunities
Just hangin around
Surely nothin new to me
Certainly moves through me
The art of the lullaby
Restless with daydreams
Well how do you sleep at night
Flooded with light
The art of the grand prize
Cashing in on the sweepstakes
Then getting a black eye
Don't even have to try
Lifetimes of jewelry
Schoolyard tomfoolery
Missed opportunities
Just hangin around
Surely nothin new to me
Certainly moves through me
The art of the white lie
How could I just stand there
while you break down and cry
When we said goodbye
The art of the dotted line
Sign here sign there
Get you set up in no time
Then we slice the limes

30 Days
03:29
|
|||
|
Who am I
If not a speck of dust
In the eyes
Of the universe
Who am I
If not a ball of flame
Wrapped inside
The arms of love
30 days from now we become unstoppable
30 days from now the lines are untraceable
In 30 days the light shines down on what's possible
Who am I
If not a jellyfish
Adrift
In the cosmic ocean
Who am I
If not a killer whale
In the stars
Above Dutch tulip fields
30 days from now we complete the unreachable
30 days from now our size is unspeakable
In 30 days we cheer beyond what's reasonable

Dark Corners
03:34
|
|||
|
Pyramid, spiral, jupiter, mars
Crack in the pavement
Face in the stars
After miles and miles
Of beautiful real estate
Yearning to return to room 88
Juniper, violet, sparrow and crow
Lake of the serpent
Where the waterfall flows
After years and years
Of infinite yesterdays
Got it so that you don't have to stay
In dark corners
Finding a way into the fantasy
Dark corners
It's a dream it's a vision it's reality
Dark corners
Delicate, gentle, purple and green
Sparks fly high
From the new machine
After hours and hours
Of pages and pictures
Still go crazy at the
Taste of that mixture
Unicorn, mermaid, lion and lamb
Rainbow burst
from the palm of the hand
After decades and decades
of the balance disturbed
It's clear in here so that
You can emerge
From dark corners
Finding a way into the fantasy
Dark corners
It's a dream it's a vision it's reality
Dark corners
Clawing your way into the fantasy
Dark corners
It's a dream it's a vision it's destiny
Dark corners
