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

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

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
