Goldfish Bowl

When you’re reckless...
On parade tonight
When you’re reckless you’re much more entertaining
Looking out from inside here through our fuzzy lens
Everything looks kinda dim
But much more entertaining
In a Goldfish Bowl for everyone to see
Yeah I’m looking out...
There’s someone looking back at me
Can’t we talk it over?
Happy one more time
In your bedroom...
Even when the lights are out
I don’t doubt that nothing else can save me
Even without a heaven waiting there for me
I can only hope that saying this might thrill you
When you reach it don’t hold on too tight
All you had might drip right through your fingers
I can’t set you free but you know that didn’t you?
Didn’t you try?
Won’t you come in… right in
Come on in the water’s fine
In a Goldfish Bowl for everyone to see
Swimming back and forth
And more in circles lately

Headdress
03:48
|

Heavy in your red hat...
You play your games
You’re just like cinders
As you pour from the flames
Well in the city you wear your crazy Headdress
Like your name
Three miles go by just like the last three
Here at night between the scenery
On the black strip in your crazy Headdress
Heavy heavy wild...
Our dark journey
Heavy heavy wild cradle in the sky
Curious and wise giant cat’s eye
Heavy heavy wild steel clockwork child
Hey you nearly missed winding time
Wind me up and set me free
Here between the scenery
We are chained in flesh machines
So wind me up and set me free

Freakshow
03:04
|

Scarecrow stuck in the hard ground
Deliver me... deliver me
Anywhere... yeah I don’t care how
Deliver me... deliver me
Hey gather round
Circus is back in town
Enjoy the Freakshow then we can go
So close to the edge now
Don’t wake me... I might fall
You kissed me in the corridor
Then kicked me in the hall
Unfunny clown
Deliver me... deliver me
You make me sad somehow
Deliver me... deliver me

Describing Nowhere

It’s September
And the weeks of Winter grey have just shut down
The car we’re in moves slow…
We wind our way through town
We drive for miles and miles into the countryside
In the Orange Grove they’re making nectar
Now the gods are waking
You make a world of plastic blocks
And someone knocks them down
You reach the top... they make you king
But someone steals your crown
And as you stack those piles
We watch from up on high
In the tangle of the vines
That grow the grapes to make the wine
We find a quiet place to spend a little time
Scratch pictures in the dirt of everything we find
I draw conclusions... you draw the line
Here in the forest where the sun won’t ever shine

Chasing Rainbows

Holly drink up... come clean
This is splendid... peachy keen
Photographs and postcards of places we have been
Holly don’t go chasing rainbows
We have it all right here at home
Everyone is beautiful... a china doll a shatterstone
A secret whispered to the trees
The unexpected answer
Holly head up... make that scene
Sell that smile in shades of green
Photographs and postcards of faces we have been
You’re sitting in my pocket
Like you don’t have a friend
Load up the milltrain..
It will take us to the end
Holly don’t go

Toy
05:18

I am only flotsam/jetsam washed up on the tide
I have only half the legend locked here in my mind
I don’t think that you’re a toy
Pick you up when I get bored
All your friends say:
“Don’t be crazy... he will only use you”
All my friends say:
“Don’t you let her take you out to play”
Catching up with everything you did the night before
Things you only half remember... even then not sure
I don’t think that you’re a toy
Just like to get to know you so much better
Maybe this is not an accident or ploy
Just like to make you understand...
You don’t get it
Do you?

Dewtide
03:24
|
|||
Dewtide rise... Don’t forsake me now
Dewtide fall... Take me down
Sometimes the only thing you wish
Is for peace of mind
Sometimes the only thing you need is a little time
Hold me now the light has gone
Dewtide rise and take me home
To each and every one of you... Peace of mind
Dewtide rise now...
Bring me some peace of mind
