PETER MURPHY LYRICS :
All Night Long
When the night is closing
Eyes are running wild
Then I hear you humming
All night long
The sign I see it
Tell me am I true
All I need from you is
All I see
This city's paved with cold
Playboys buying fun
Seems there is no hunter left
Without his hunting gun
Can you feel the light
The air is wild open
Oh you see the light it's coming through
It's there in the distance
Always offered to me
Always coming over a hill
Oh your see-saw smile
Lasts me all night long
Like a siren's curl
When the night is long
Now come hold my hand
No bad vibe hearts
Hold my hand you know
This journey could be long
Yeah the seasons come in
All the nights are woven
All the nights we'll see them through
Ahh no hundred men now
Would dare cut into us
We'll go on and see it through
When the night has come in
Your eyes are running wild
Then I hear you humming
All night long
Yeah the sign I see it
Yeah the times I see it
All I need to know from you
Is all I see
Can you feel the light
The air is wild, open
Oh you see the light,
It's coming through
It's there in the distance
Always offered to me
Always coming over a hill
Yeah the seasons come in
All the nights are woven
All the nights we'll see them through
Ahh no hundred men now
Would dare cut into us
We'll go on and see it through
(Repeat X 3)
His Circle and Hers Meet
As if afloat
As if afraid
The spirits meet
Waited for an age
It was a lesson sent
Abstract and numbed
Abstract and bleak
Patience lent
His test of patience lent
Horizontal yet erect
Yearning lying in wait
Oneness floats about
Unity served on his plate
Circling round about
The lover he will meet
Dripping mellow stains of long
M M M M Melting in her heat
The lover he must meet
Circling round about
Dripping mellow stains of long
Melting in her heat
Without a blink
Without a sigh
His circle and hers meet
Synchronised split
Split seconds beat
She killed his past
With her kiss
All past was but a lie
She killed his head
She killed his mouth
And opened up the sky
She killed his past
With her kiss
All past was but a lie
She killed his head
She killed his mouth
The he-she joining
The moment now
Would be the only sound
No front no back
No present tense
No milk from no holy cow
She killed his past
With her kiss
All past was but a lie
She killed his head
She killed his mouth
And opened up the sky
Ad lib - end
Dragnet Drag
Look at them now
Look at them do
Look they found the dove
Their vastness too
Whirlpools whirl
And dragnets drag
Love me do oh love me do
Love me find the dove
This vastness sings a pretty song
This vastness must be love
Give me three the gift of one
Whose science can't describe
Whose eyes are peeled like atom bombs
Their spirit is the prize
The sufi three winged flight they soar
All sacrals join all hearts
A cavern gasps a dragon screams
The jinn men smash the ark
Four guides float four dots of God
Realistic haqq is theirs
Mystic men whose eyes are sore
From trials of bigger lairs
Look at them now
Look at them do
Look they found the dove
Their triad song too
A grey surprise
Swirls below
They could be happy too
The ides of march
Whirlpools whirl
And dragnets drag
Whirlpools whirl
And dragnets drag
Whirlpools whirl
Dragnets drag
Hell is not the fire
Hell is your belief
In yourself as the higher
Four guides afloat
Four dots of God
Look they found the dove
Their triad song too
Whirlpools whirl
Dragnets drag
Hell is not the fire
Hell is your belief
In yourself as the higher
(Repeat)
Socrates the Python
Today ...
Your problems are not
Of blind belief
That is or means
Belief ain't enough, belief ain't enough
The oracle of your age
Point towards the word
Psychological
You may freeze
You may fear
You may wince
And not hear
You can sick at the heart
When I say
"God is one"
Does God the word
Make you reel
And I mean, real
But it isn't God the father son or holy one,
But the key to your age
Get it together, and listen
With all the books
On the shelf
All the wisdom
With all the books
On the shelf
All the wisdom

Indigo Eyes
Fire burning in a hill
The lines are rocky rough
Red angles wait to pick remains
The cindered shoulder
Of confused men
Seperate from their awe
With grey desire
He looks out mad
His soft grey indigo eyes
Indigo eyes ...
Asking
His heaven is uncovered not
A black tree blocks his way
His way is skating round a dome
(His way is in dismay)
The playmate sings
Like Orphee in some thunder world
Asking to be bathed in light
To be exemplified
With grey desire he looks out mad
His soft grey indigo eyes
Saw his past
He had dug for trust
With blind infected hands
And wondered as the hurt bit hard
Why the sacred weren't at hand
Only when his ears were deaf
To the angels light burst waves
Only when his ears were deaf
Did life turn from fog to fog
But not evil but estranged
But not evil but estranged
Indigo eyes, Indigo eyes
Indigo eyes, Indigo eyes
With grey desire
He looks out mad
His soft grey
Indigo eyes
Indigo eyes
Time Has Got Nothing to Do with it
Make me a mannered, a mannered thing
Carved of wood, a life force thing
Give it an arm, that points to the earth
And a hand, that points at me
No matter where I stand
No matter where I stand
And knows all that we can't see
The clock cannot be turned
With remorseful yearns
Time has nothing to do with it
You would see, you would see
If you were three again
And did it all the same
Fate drives you insane
Fate drives you insane
And did you throw you in the road
Put your face to shame
Did you think your mouth could teach
Make you think you think
It's got a lot to do with
It's got a lot to do
Let's get nothing, nothing askew
Time has got nothing to do with it
Time has got nothing to do with it
Time has got nothing to do with it
Time has got nothing to do with it
Change is insane with eyes that blame
And morals that blank the lines
Of transmissions new
If only we knew
It's not all happening here
There blanks are scarce
And blindness is forgot
Is forgot
The perfect plan
Is not the man
Who tells you
You are wrong
Time has got nothing to do with it
Time has got nothing to do with it
Disappear into the clear
And visions understood
Wrestle now and shout the vow
The illusion is the pain
The illusion is the pain
Time has got nothing to do with it
Time has got nothing to do with it
Time has got nothing to do with it
Time has got nothing to do with it
Time has got nothing to do with it
Time
Blind Sublime
It looks a dream
And feels the same
I could conquer it
And still feel sane
The soft hills and shores
Beguiled and silent nights
The sun waits softly
We talk a lot
Too much to say
We're still too proud
It looks a dream
And feels the same
I could conquer it
And still feel sane
(Repeat X 1)
The people best
Are simple here
And thoughts escape me
No fear, no judge
No burning fear
Their eyes don't pierce
Slowly worked
Smoke ringed arms
It's too hot to mention
Slowly worked
Smoke ringed arms
Luck turned an ear
I shout to time that nothing stays
Nothing lasts and damn to change
Though then I read a book a line
Which says we sleep in blind sublime
Deaf and dumb in human lands
To break and free needs different hands
To pull us to a different space
Where things are wider, out of place
It looks a dream
And smells the same
I could conquer it
And still feel sane
It looks like a dream
And smells the same
I'd submit to it
And still feel sane
I'd submit to it
And still feel sane
I'd submit to it
And still feel sane
My Last Two Weeks
When I returned
You buried my last two weeks
My last two weeks
Of my new times
So it didn't seem like
A wasted mouthful
A wasted mouthful
Because of a trip
That was trapped inside you
I was trapped inside you
And always imagined
That I could
I always imagined
Imagined I would
Conjure you up
Conjure you up
So it didn't seem like
It didn't seem like
I was conditioned
I was conditioned about that
So it didn't seem like
A wasted mouthful
Am I untruthful
Am I untruthful
As a result of being
Maybe
Maybe it was too soon
The red rose
I liken it to the flicker of the pure
Fleeting moments
Precede our actions
Light that's not burning
Light that's not burning
No more lost sinking feeling
Tethered to your shoe
Tethered to you
We ask the controller
He sends us flames
Our lying bodies sleep
His whispered word says
Ah this is how
This is how it looks
From where we weep
Tethered to red rose
Tethered to your shoe
To the seven of cups
Tethered to you
Here stands the canvas beauty at her door
Calling beneath the blockade floor
See him turn bedeviled and blacked
For the canvas beauty had locked him back
Away from the king of hearts so pure
In with temptations alluring pour
Away from her his compass mass
The everglade the bonny lass
The actress love that he mistook
A siren for his aging look
The actress love that he mistook
A siren love for his aging look
Her stands Dorian at her need
In Hedonisms shaft like look
He wears the id the painter mistook
And with her flame he'll burn its flesh
Burn the freeze transcend the mesh
Riders wings you give me back
The siren for his aging look
The actress love that he mistook
The siren love for his aging look
Here stands Dorian at her need
The Answer is Clear
Teach him to be happy
Teach him some control
Teach him what his friends are
With your sunken eyes
And your pretty looks
Underneath a see through disguise
You are desperate for a good hook
Desperate for a good hook
You try so hard
To see what you want
The answer is clear
Should you see your face
In the mirror dear
Is that the movement of fear?
You are kicking out at them
Judging all the time
As you criticise the bull
You do it just as fine
You are the source of what
You'd call weird pop
Well that's all you've seen
That's all you've got
Teach him to be happy
Teach him some control
Teach him what his friends are
This is the movement of fear ha
The Light Pours Out of Me
Time flies
Time crawls
Like an insect
Up and down the walls
The light pours out of me
The light pours out of me
The conspiracy
Of silence ought
To revolutionize
My thought
The light pours out of me
The light pours out of me
The cold light of day
Pours out of me
Leaving me black
And so healthy
The light pours out of me
The light pours out of me
It jerks out of me
Like blood
In this still life
Heart beats up love
The light pours out of me
The light pours out of me
Should the World Fail to Fall Apart
Should the world fail to fall apart
And lock off in a remote sky
Ideas can matter too much
Can't hear for lack of sleep
Breathing in the smoking ruins
The rockets in the shadows whispering
Singing in the underground
Love and the never men
Can't hear for lack of sleep
Looking for the past
Try to slip the script
Gun the lowest plane
Hidden all eyes know
Try to slip the script
Gun the lowest plane
Hidden all eyes know
There's some use in treating courage
As a remote friend
Learning what it is to lie
Stop crash fall
On a leper mass of swelling glass
Cleaning up the swamps
You are the heart of hearts
Wonder dig and try
Tear it up and learn to bless the readers eye
Blue Heart
How rich is your surface
How much do you care
Does your blue heart turn away
How deep is that stare
Time hints that it's on your side
Don't think it's there
What's past could be a teaser line
Between mind and air
Was it a lie
Was it the truth
Does your blue heart turn away
As you hit the roof
I never seem to get the drift
When I hear some crowd talk
It isn't only their chat-chat-chatter
Or the one line track of thought
Isolation lies like dread
Outcast fears
In which they are so so locked
Reduced to tears
Reduced to
Was it a lie
Was it the truth
Does blue heart turn away
As you hit the roof
Interviewed your dreams
Walked on thin air
No time to wonder now
As I break through their stare
Would they understand
If I were to show
That their answers burned to ground
So I turned to go
So I turned to
Was it a lie
Was it the truth
Does your blue heart turn away
As you hit the roof
Confessions
I could use your gullibility
Distort the painful truth
Present a fear and laugh at you
Leave you lost unsure removed
The must I feel to put it right
Put an end to naive faith
In slick successes avenue
The vacuum of save face
Direct words can turn lost minds
Towards some monster seed
Lyrics sung from pretty looks
Can on the reader feed
Be strong to check and recognise
The pretty face is all
But being used to sell you songs
That never say it all
The incident meets the senses
The illusions in a mask
The sun of a summer afternoon
Docility rocks the mask
Broken loose from moorings
In a flash the swell had passed
Towards the beach with unabated speed
Confessions of a mask
Final Solution
The girls won't touch me
Cos I've got a misdirection
Living at night isn't helping my complexion
The signs all saying it's a social infection
A little bit of fun's never been an insurrection
Mamma threw me out till I get some pants that fit
She just won't approve of my strange kind of wit
I get so excited, always gotta lose
Man that send me off
Let them take the cure
Don't need a cure
Need a final solution
Buy me a ticket to a sonic reduction
Guitars gonna sound like a nuclear destruction
Seems I'm a victim of natural selection
Meet me on the other side, another direction
Don't need a cure
Need a final solution
Tale of the Tongue
The time is coming ripe
We are running fast
I see you coming closer
Closer to the mask
Come closer treat me softly
Where can the dreamer be?
How far we've come to know
How much we've come to see
And when I ask you softly
Oh what the real men saw
As I hit the roof again
Oh what the dreamer saw
The street still screams
The street still screams of garbage thoughts
The stain of anxious guys
Still we glimpse the faintest note
Of some battered somnambulant men
Of the desire to know the whys
The street still screams
Fixed notions fashion them
Their rules police the street
No chance of Latin way
Hold down to crude belief
Lassoed in the charges' web
Locked inside the nation's pride
To boast the red of freedom's move
They take the purple side
I'm told from day to day
Gaol slip from behind
We are the guards of our mistakes
Off and running blind
So the dreamer speaks in time drunk wine
Take the coming day
If I seem to lag behind
Whisper me the way
The street still screams
Keep Me From Harm
Kill the Hate
Take me on a trip
Take me from the hip
Keep me cool and dry
Round the corner from the dip
It should not veer or lead astray
Or hide me from the truth
Take me soon and make it quick
Oh, I won't need no proof
You call me a liar
You say that you don't need me
Well sure, but I'll still be there reflecting
I've said it before, and I'll say it again
Kill the hate
I've always wanted to hide your problems
Wanted to save you pain
If only just to cover
You and all your stains
There's plenty left where that came from
And nothing I would hide
To make you face oblivion
And shake your shake your pretty pride
Kill the hate
I'll see you in the stratosphere
I'll meet you in the show
I'll visit you when you don't look
I'll melt you in the snow
Call your name
I'll laugh and talk aloud
See through your movie moves
I'll poke you with a poke
I'll kill the snake
I'll play you with a bow- I'll kill the hate
You're So Close
Say you!...
I can hear the groove
I can hear the words
I can climb the scale
I can ride the curvess
I can hit the note
I can beat the beat
I can dance the jump
I can tap my feet
Say you!
Getting closer
Stop me dreaming
Wanna feel you
You're so close
Ah can't write now
Wanna feel a hit
Ah can't drive now
Wanna phone you
Can't play it very well
But it is what I want
And what I want is what it takes
It could be slick
It could be fake
Can't play it very well
But it is what I want
And what I want is what it takes
It could be slick
It could be fake
Say you!
Can't hear you
You're so close
Wanna feel you
You're so close
Ah can't write now
Wanna feel a hit
Ah can't drive now
Wanna phone you
Say you!
I can hear the groove
I can spell the words
I can climb the scale
I can ride the curves
I can hit the note
I can drop the beat
I can dance and jump
I can tap the feet
Can't play it very well
But it is what I want
And what I want is what it takes
I could be slick
It could be fake
(Say you)
Can't hear you
You're so close
Wanna feel you
You're so close
Ah can't write now
Wanna feel a hit
Ah can't write now
Wanna phone you
Getting Closer
Stop me dreaming
Wanna feel you
You're so close
Ah can't write now
Ah wanna feel a hit
Ah can't drive now
The Sweetest Drop
Roll yourself away from me
Unveil me from your layers
Lay with me
Let me plunder, - no betrayal
Shame cast out
Morning sensual fire aroused
Union upon union
In union we'll flower
Sail naked in our funder
Press towards the burst
Drop the sweetest drop
Give the thunder up
Rocking to the top
Sensor none the shame
Cling no more to shame
Ring me in the morning
Take me, take me, in the rain
Oh come with me, eh come with me
Concurr and swallow me
Explode secrete your tender
Let's scream out like the sea
Pull me warm and slender
Concur and swallow me
Explode secrete your tender
Let's scream out like the sea
Union upon union
Drop the sweetest drop
I think about you all day
Calling the sacred first
Rolling sunlit day
Give me what I thirst
Drop the sweetest drop
Give the thunder up
Rocking to the top
Sensor none the shame
Cling no more to shame
Ring me in the morning
Take me, take me in the rain
Oh come with me
Yeah come with me
Concur and swallow me
Explode secrete your tender
Let's scream out like the sea
Roll yourself away
Immortal burn alive
Rocking to the top
Sensor none the shame
Cling no more to shame
Ring me in the morning
Take me, take me, in the rain
Oh come with me, oh! come with me
Concur and swallow me
Explode secrete your tender
Let's scream out like the sea
Low Room
You've been away a while, while the art on the box cuts
The streets gone wild defeated wild
Sitting in the low room
Where we wind our love loom
Don't y'think it's wrong
That I should get stuck in a room
The low room Low--room--low--room
2,3, uh!
I don't know what
What I can do to break the chains
We talk a lot we break high ground, high ground no shame
Maybe there's no need to fight against the chains
Rations of irrational thirsty for the up
Of secret honey, honey on the lips
Low--room--low--low
Ten!
--3--4--push
You're away tonight as the art on the box cuts
Vivid life in action
Shame as the shock cuts
Stuck in a rom frigid and strained
Regecting interaction repeating refrains
In the low room
Repeating the holy names in the low room
Repeating the holy names in the low room
Repeating the holy names in the low room
Repeating the holy names in the low room
--low--room
Push
Let Me Love You
Love me now
Until the end of time
See me over your heart
In the night
Never let me go until you see
All the scenery and faking
Fall away from me
Oh let me love you in the morning light
Oh let me give you cover until it's alright
Oh let me feel you come into my arms
La la la la la la la la la la la
The saints have come over
They stayed all night long
Save your heart till the end of time... they say..
...Come over now, approach from every side
Give your heart till the end of time
Oh let me love you in the morning light
Oh let see you over until it's alright
Oh I fall so blue, coming to your arms
Oh let me see you over, until it's all...
Our Secret Garden
It seems like a day
A day that I call smooth
When you came into my heart I knew
The love was overflowing
And I say
- La la la la la! - la la, la la la, la
The day was so long and the night was still
And you kept coming over
To my hill
I would weep for the day
Without you, all the way
You wanted to be free
And doubt would overflow
Just come running to me
'Cause you knew I'd take you home
Then you came into my heart
We knew for a start
Each word like a book
With your spirit flowing ...over me
Don't bother to close your heart
Let's drink honey in the park
Swap hats and go for free
To our secret garden -
Dream Gone By
Let go all the tears of your life
The one you left behind
Let the pain of the dream go by
It's over
The love is calling
I'm searching
You have gone to be free
The love is calling
I'm searching
You have gone to be free
When the light had gone
And the night was over
Yet the feeling will still exist
For you and me
Let go all the tears of your life
The one you left behind
Let the pain of the dream go by it's over
And the feeling still exists
For you and me
You have gone to be free
Let go all the tears of your life
The one you left behind
Let the pain of the dream go by it's over
Oh, and as you fly past the sign
That points to our way
Send your children a whispered song
Then allow yourself away
One two I am you
You are but a show
Three four there's no mre
Your red mouth is aglow
Five six no more tricks
Now I'm feeling clean
The secret yeah it moved so fast
Had to dive into mid stream
Hit Song
Walking in the street
Breath the only friend
Strangers pass me by
I'm moving, moving with the wind
Inside me now, the gold
The gold at rainbows end
Stranger to myself, a stranger
Stranger till the end
Behind the closed door
The one we painted green
To remind me of the perfect plan
Wash my face in fields of green
Take me to the stars for free
Point me to the high wire call
Wake me true and wake me all
Walk me in the streets
Take me, to a view on high
To an empire state
Tease, tease and bake me dry
Swerve and turn on me
Melt me, melt me to the wall
Like an unspeant fortune, I'm running
Running with the call
Behind the closed door
The one we painted green
To remind me of a perfect plan
Wash my face
In fields of green
Take me to the stars for free
point me to the high wire call
Wake me true and wake me all
Deep Ocean, Vast Sea
Deep ocean
Vast sea
Deep ocean
Vast sea
Your ocean heart
Clothed in respect
And sweet caress
My uneasy mind
You dip and you swell
Float and you find
And sweet caress
My uneasy mind
Deep ocean
Vast sea
Deep ocean
Vast sea -- that's me
Imagine a set of steps
Easily climbed
To the power of pride
The plastic of mind
Where there lies a table
The table stands
For the power of success
Respect on the sign
Intelligence so cold
A heart like glass
From the surface to deep
You wave then you dive
Like the heart and the sun
You wave and you dive
You hold me so cold
You wave and you dive
Deep ocean
Vast sea
Deep ocean
Vast sea -- That's deep
You're clothed in respect
You smell of sweet caress
Dip and swell
Beyond the power fo fists
Your ocean heart
Healing uneasy minds
And I wanna dive in with you
Clinging to the rock, I'm waiting
Deep ocean
Vast sea
Deep ocean
Vast sea -- That's deep
Your heart is hard
You think your legs hurt
You smell of aching sweet success
Your head's a supernova
And you would like
Anything to stop
The pain from your finger screaming
There you stand
Naked in the sun
Without leather
Whose pain you think you need
But all you need to do is undress
Let go and wash
Take the steps to the other side
Up-turned razors the air is thick with karma
The sutra of a way down
Listen boy it's a long way donw
Down to heaven's gate
To heaven gate the steps the steps
To the tower of pride
The devil lied
Dive up to the highest point
Where our lives are save-ed
Where all the lives on the table stand
Power and success respect and climb the steps
Shy
One day
You will be the one
To say I'm sick of empty fun
It means if your faith is strong
It means you are no longer astray
See I see all the light
It comes straight from the sun
And I want to get near
So I can be clear
Soon I will
Merge with the one
Soon I will
Be with the love
One day
When the lights turn green
There is no time
This love I thirst
Don't get shy
Don't get caught
With the world
And its thoughts
I'm not asking for worship
Or lazy sleazy thoughts
Soon I will
Merge with the one
Soon I will
Be with the lvoe
One day
When the light turns green
There is no time
This love I thirst
Don't get shy
Don't get caught
With the world
And its thoughts
I'm not asking for worship
Or lazy sleazy thoughts
(The Sister of Sleep)
He was thought of as strange
A good looking man
And shallow eyes
Like two hidden from view and
Empty puddles of hue
His views on death
Spread like two anecdotal tales
Although he reclining declining
To disclose in public
These opinions in public
The tales held the key
Death is the surname of sleep
But the surname unknown to us
Sleep is the daily end of life
A small exercise in death
Which is it's sister
But not every brother and sister
Are equally close
Giving to the enemy
A small exercise in submission
And holding onto nothing
He was thought of as strange
A good looking man
And shallow eyes
Like two hidden from view
And empty puddles of hue
His views on death.
One day
You will be the one
To say
I'm sick of empty fun
It means
If your faith is strong
It means
You are no longer astray
See I see all the light
It comes straight from the sun
And I want to get near
So I can be clear
Don't get shy
Don't get caught
With the world
And its thoughts
I'm not asking for worship
Or lazy sleazy thought
Crystal Wrists
I can't see the light
I'm thrown in disgust
They speak of feats
The housed forever
A howling wind
Changed my course
It blew me out
Of bounds so sore
All the walls
All the walls that bound me
Descending bleak and put upon
I chew my cheeks
To wake up from
The vase grows bigger
To my eyes
These eyes that snigger
And despise
The wall grows taller up to doom
Shoes in my room
Thrown in disgust
At how I fall
To my worst
Of course you say
You don't understand
Your words your fiction
Your crooked hands
But clearly now
I tell you man
That all I say
Is all I can
For I am nothing
But my sin
Until I learn
To caste them in
While young girls fangs
And crystal wrists
Wait patiently
For me to twist
I look away
To distant rains
To water falls
And honey days
And boys in black
And blue rinse eyes
Gaze whistly at my slender thighs
I twist a shade to my right
And spit at beelzebub on sight
And go on loving all I see
For here I live on patiently
Clerarly now I tell you man
That all I say is all I can
For I am nothing but my sin
Until I learn to caste them in
Marlene Dietrich's Favourite Poem
My mother loved it so she said
Sad eyed pearl and drop lips
Glancing pierce through writer man
Spoke hushed and frailing hips
Her old eyes skim in creasing lids
A tear falls as she describes
Approaching death with a yearning heart
With pride and no despise
Hot tears flow as she recounts
Her favourite worded token
Forgive me please for hurting so
Don't go away heartbroken no
Don't go away heartbroken no
Just wise owl tones no velvet lies
Crush her velvet call
Oh Marlene suffer all the fools
Who write you on the wall
And hold your tongue about your life
Or dead hands will change the plot
Will make your loving sound like snakes
Like you were never hot
Hot tears flow as she recounts
Her favourite worded token
Forgive me please for hurting so
My mother loved it so she said
Sad eyed pearl and drop lips yeah
Glancing pierce through writer man
Spoke hushed and frailing lips yeah
Old eyes skim in creasing lids
A tear falls as she describes
Approaching death with a yearning heart
With pride and no despise
Hot tears flow as she recounts
Her favourite worded token
Forgive me please for hurting so

Seven Veils
The day grows older
The moon appears in a mirror
A fire side mirror
A distant walker
Hears the words
Do do good deeds
So you feel ok
The moon and the sun
Partners in light
Separating reflecting one light
Hearing this confusion wanes
No need to ask for wealth
Or one thing more now
And the night
Feels the same
As a cool hot summers climb
With the voice
Comes no shame
As the walker walks the line
The day grows older
The moon appears
Reflecting on his heart
Heavy weighed and pierced
The walker looks at his days
Bad deeds gone by
For which he must pay
The moon and the sun
Partners in light
Separating reflecting one light
Hearing this confusion wanes
Another image hits
The seven veils of mind
But the night
Feels the same
As a cool hot summers climb
With the voice comes no shame
As the walker hunts the line
The Line Between the Devil's Teeth
(And That Which Cannot Be Repeat)
A white light blazing deep
Through the wasteland searching we
Soaring birds now hunt the brow
As thirsty gripped with hunger now
Clear sighted painful ends to win
The battle of the me so wafer thin
The line between the devil's teeth
And that which cannot be repeat
Push me in take me t'ward
The subject in the subject taught
A war without a war within
Join head and heart for to begin
Bemused we flinch no easy work
For invited me are loath to shirk
The line between the devil's teeth
And that which cannot be repeat
War Work
War Work
War Work
Hey man, how will you feel
When all you have and all you own
Is your only true friend
When above you in the firmament
Flow the blood of the prophets
Out of your reach
From your aching speech
Cuts You Up
I find you in the morning
After dreams of distant sighns
You pour yourself over me
Like the sun through the blinds
You lift me up
And get me out
Keep me walking
But never shout
Hold the secret close
I hear you say
You know the way
It throws about
It takes you in
And spits you out
When you desire
To conquer it
To feel you're higher
To follow it
You must be clean
With mistakes
That you do mean
Move the heart
Switch the pace
Look for what seems out of place
Yeah on and on it goes
Calling like a distant wind
Through the zero hour we'll walk
Cut the thick and break the thin
No sound to break no moment clear
When all the doubts are crystal clear
Crashing hard into the secret wind
You know the way
It twists and turns
Changing colour
Spinning yarns
You know the way
It leaves you dry
It cuts you up
It takes you high
You know the way
It's painted gold
Is it honey
Is it gold
You know the way
It throws about
It takes you in
And spits you out
You know the way
It throws about
It takes you in
And spits you out
It spits you out
When you desire
To conquer it
To feel you're higher
To follow it
You must be clean
With mistakes
That you do mean
Move the heart
Switch the pace
Look for what
Seems out of place
And now I find
The special kind
You yourself
Like sun through blinds
You lift me up
Get me out
Keep me walking
But never shout
It's o.k.
It goes this way
The line is thin
It twists away
Cuts you up
It throws about
Keep me walking
But never shout.
A Strange Kind of Love
A strange kind of love
A strange kind of feeling
Swims through your eyes
And like the odors
To a wide vast dominion
They open to your prize
This is no terror ground
Or place for the rage
No broken hearts
White wash lies
Just a taste for the truth
Perfect taste choice and meaning
A look into your eyes
Blind to the gemstone alone
A smile from a frown circles round
Should he stay or should he go
Let him shout a rage so strong
A rage that knows no right or wrong
And take a little piece of you
There is no middle ground
Or that's how it seems
For us to walk or to take
Instead we tumble down
Either side left or right
To love or to hate
Roll Call
On a long and winding grey paved street
Your breath the only friend
Chattering others surrounding you
You're going out again
It's a laugh and a gas new crowd
You tell yourself
While buttoning up a new red shirt
It's been a twenty years of doing this
Just the same night into night
Day into day
with your preset mind
Wake up with a preset mind
With no self control
And you decide to call the Roll Call
Of the socialites who mortified
Can't see as far as their next surprise
Yah, happy with nothing but the sweet F.A. of the night
Believing that they're alive and well
But if asked
They have nothing to tell
Except the words of a clashing rhyme
I'll calmed and out of sync
Even real sounds like a zero
To a brain in lip sync
Roll'
On a long and winding grey paved street
Your breath the only friend
Chattering others surrounding you
You're going out again
It's a laugh and a gas new crowd
You tell yourself
While buttoning up a new red shirt
It's been a twenty years of doing this
Just the same night into night
Day into day
Forget your preset mind
Roll to the end
Cascade
Mirror to my Woman's Mind
Subway
It's like there's a straight way you know, you know
I've told you before it's as thin as ice
As thin as the razor snow
Don't freeze in the snow
Don't bake in the heat
I'll be your breath
There's a place where we can meet
There's a place where we can meet
There's a place where we can meet
Use me
Don't sleep in the subway
Don't sleep in the pouring rain
By my voice in my midnight meditation
When I wake, be my heart's floatation
Come and fill, come and fill from the overflow
Come and play, come and play be like a bird
Don't sleep in the subway
I'm needing you well - I
I feel you, you're closing down yeah
Get close, talk right through me
Get close, keep tight with me
If you fall now it could be forever
I'm telling you the line is thin now
I've told you before this hate is a sin
Empty out for the overflow
Let love begin
There's a place where we can meet
Gliding Like A Whale
It only takes the time
Between here and there
For a landing in another place
Saw your shadow fleeting
In the corner of my eye
Your feet were skimming the sand
And then some began to fly
Lasted no time at all
No time at all
Gliding like a whale
In and out of hotels
Gliding like a whale
In and out of hotels
The flower seller told the tale
Saw you kiss the King one minute
Then the next set sail
Two places in one time
And that's not all
In one you're swimming to the limit
Then the next you're riding the whales
This clever never no man's land
Angels whisper that you're winning
Shooting starts that leave no trail
It took you no time to leave the land
When you kissed the King one minute
The next you're setting sail
Gliding like a whale
In and out of hotels
Disappearing
You came, I saw, I held your hand outa-sight
Cause your cause is just a cause
Cause I came here to be with you
I'm like you I'll get inside you
Just like you
Came to be me
I'll do the mirror walk
Disappearing in her hand
He says to her "Your eyes are sick"
He says that mine are fine
She says "That's not what the doctor says"
He takes her word for it this time
If that's me/you - you/me thing
The who's who of the lovers club
You can't get a grip on nothing now can you?
There's no love where there is no love
How did I get so lucky
Walking in these shoes?
As a kid I yearned for this
Disappearing in her hand
I'm like you, I'll look out from you
Just like you, say the word of full return
Come and go, stay the same
Disappearing in her hand
Just like fishes swimming
They heard some vibe about the water
Swimming in the ocean
Looking for the ocean
Looking for the ocean wide
Ocean swimming, like the fishes swimming
In the ocean
They heard that God was the water
But they were swimming in it all the time
Mercy Rain
Would you walk with me tonight
Could you run where the lovers run
Would you stay with me tonight
Will you forgive me if I rush
When I tell you I am yours
As we run where the lovers run
Run with the sound
I won't let you down
Would you swim from the rivers edge
Could you jump where the lovers jump
Would you stay with me tonight
Let's be the runners in the mercy rain
Be my bridge when I fear to cross
_As we run where the lovers run
Run with the sound
I won't let you down
Swim, swim
I'll Fall With Your Knife
To the crowd
To the world
You were so dry
And with the token bird I made
Send it to fly right to your side
With the broken wing you sailed
Oh like winter in July
A barren river wide
I'll pray for the flood
To wash on you
It's here I'll be with you
Well if the birds can reach the sky
To this land I'll be with you
'Til the sun bursts from your side
With my hands I reach to you
When you think your chance is passing by
When you blow your moon away
I'll bleed like the reed
Fall with your knife
It's here I'll be with you
I'll fall
The Scarlet Thing In You
From the world to the dreaming fields of light
Yeah from the soaking mud
Gonna fly up to the sky
To the scarlet thing in you
On a long lost ocean wave of light
Submerged and unafraid
I saw you
You were one
I saw you
You were one
No way back to recall the way
Cause I threw out all the why's
Spinning with the spider in the cave
Found the scarlet thing in you
Where the birds can't reach
No words can teach
Spinning in the cave
For the scarlet thing in you
I saw you, you saw me
I saw you
You were the one
I saw you
You were one
Spinning in the cave
For the scarlet thing in you
Sails Wave Good Bye
Dream - the light was shining hard
And though the lie was the night
Dream - you were the light and colliding with the stars
In a way - my guide
And there light will pave the way that you go
In the light of the silver moon
Sails and wave good bye
Sails and wave good bye
Looking out from a bridge
Sails wave good bye
Behind a curtain
Activate and join
My mind devoid
Reinstate my beloved
And there light will pave the way that you
go
In the light of the silver moon
Sails and wave good bye
Sails and wave good bye
Wild Birds Flock To Me
Looked like a blue eyes lonely boy
Hair skating to the ground
Read the air between the words
From a kingdom he was bound
In loving he gave all he could know
All lips lick like a wave
And the blue eyed lonely boy
To every friend a slave
Wild birds
Flock to me
Wild birds
Flock to me
You are the lamb, the king, the sun
Why do you hide away?
Put like a picture on the wall
No one to see your rays
You are inside of sight (an ark)
The fountain of your youth
Come like a moth burn in the flame
Take us though the roof
Wild birds flock to me
Soaring rocks for company
Pure people work on me
Love's own necessity
Wild birds
Flock to me
Wild birds
Flock to me
Huuvola
One fine night
The air did bring
Two little ones
Called to be
I am, yours to mind
So let that be
Give your life
It's given free
Huuvola, huuvola, huuvola, huuvola
When a time
That will come to part us
Forget me night
For it is here
In those missing times
We send our deepest sense to climb
One fine night
When one heart enjoins
Huuvola, huuvola, huuvola, huuvola
Hark, and be well
Go catch the light in every cell
Let the fire take the fire
And the rain wash the pain
May your soul's waters never wane
Make Eden here
Send angel's prayers
May your garden be sweet
Let the fire take the fire
Let the fire take the fire
And the rain wash the pain
Huuvola
Cascade
We have no image
We're just called the good friends
We call the madmen back
As they fly to the ant hills
We never know, we never know
We sleep in satin nights
Throwing energy like bluebirds
In twilight
We call to stillness
As we kiss the water king's hand
We hear the one same name
As the darker the land gets
We never know, we never know
We're fueling for the light
Cascading like the rain
In twilight
Waiting for you, you look so close, we walk
a thousand stairs
Aching for your hand, our love a distant
voice, we have no image - we are light
We are not asking
No favors from the dead
We wash with moonlit hands
On the shores of our island
We never know, we never know
We sleep in satin nights
Throwing energy in silver curves
In twilight
Wish
I wish it was spring
I wish it was your house
We'd invite the beggars
Hanging 'bout your front fence
Wish I was your tree
I wish I could bend and bow
Like the branch of ash
Bum idols for love
I wish we could dress
In only happy cloaks
And blow rave waves
To the lily pond
I wish I was your mirror
Give you up my wand
Wish I was your mirror
Be your fine shine
Wish I was a nomad
Living in your land
An Irish tinker
Drinking juice of rose
From your hand
Wish I was a beggar
Waiting at your door
I wish we could dress
In only happy cloaks
And blow rave waves
To the lily pond
I wish I was your mirror
Give you up my wand
Wish I was your mirror
Be your fine shine
I wish I could rush
To see the first sun
Rise to your call
Bum idols for love
