The Invitation

Take a chance with me
And you will find you're only dreaming
Dream awhile and when you wake
You'll find me gone

Author Unknown

If the path of least resistance is all you ever take
Well at least you've been consistent and for that I baked you a cake

Recognize this as a dream, wake up and write it down
From thought to actions an eternity I can't get this thing off the ground

Author unknown

So spell me out your proverb and ink it with your soul
And I'll count down all the reasons you lost complete control

Brutalize me with beauty, don't ever let me down
Suspended on this stage of grace I have to remember this sound

Author unknown, author unknown...

Author unknown remember this sound
She's unknown. He's unknown. I'm unknown. We're all unknown.

Revelation

Out my windown the trees stand still and wait for another breeze
And this is home for countless creatures need a place to roam
In this I see beauty that goes beyond you and me
And it goes on, on and on long after I am gone

So why am I down when there is life all around?
Don't make a sound, can't you hear life all around
It's all around

Out on the street the contstant hum of cars somehow comforts me (puts me to sleep)
It may sound strange but from the sky we look the same as those ants that you stumbled on
So keep yourself alive

In this I see beauty that goes beyond you and me
And it goes on, on and on long after we are gone, bye bye

So why am I down when there is life all around
Don't make a sound, can't you hear life all around?
It's all around, it's all around

Put on a show, let everyone know you're alive, so alive
March right in wearing that grin and blow 'em sky high
Blow 'em away

Why am I down when there is life all around?
Don't make a sound, when there is life all around
Don't hold me down when there is life all around
At the end of the day all I can say is yeah yeah yeah...
Oh yeah

My Lucky Day

Seventeen A. Must be my lucky day.
Choose your poison. Taxi down the runway.

Cause everyone knows how the end goes...
If you don't know, here it goes...

Fragile smile comes. To my new friend.
She is falling. She's falling for her new friend.

Cause everyone knows how the end goes...
If you don't know, here it goes...

Everything came together
When we hit stormy weather
She fell down next to me
She cried "Somebody save me!"
Let's just say we landed that day

Cause everyone knows. Everyone knows. Everyone knows. Everyone knows. Everyone knows.
If you must know. Come and see the show.

Holiday

To pick up where I left the story
I lost her in a crowd
I wasn't about to give myself away
That never was my style
But I lost her in the crowd
Oh no a holiday

What better time to get away
I've got nothing else to do
But run away with you

You always had your shit together
I've got mine together too
So what do you say?

I'm not impressed so easily
I think I think too much you see
Oh I'd love the ability to simply let things go
Picture this a life of ease
And there's no one that you must please
No one keeps you on your knees
Not unless you want them to
Oh my, a holiday

What better time to get away
I've got nothing else to do but run away with you
You always had your shit together
I've got mine together too

Breakdown

A holiday

What better time to get away
I've got nothing else to do but run away with you
You always had your shit together
I've got mine together too so what do you say?
Come on, let's take a holiday...

What better time to get away
I've got nothing else to do but run away with you
You always had your shit together
I've got mine together too so what do you say?
A holiday

What better time to get away
I've got nothing else to do but run away with you
So come on!

Eloquence

Is it really worth it? Something given for free
If it leaves you so downhearted, so downhearted
If you've an opinion
You can answer yes but it's no for me

Cause I've seen eloquence in its purest sense grab hold of me
And then shake itself free
And I'm stunned I mean who invited this fickle friend?
Why won't it stay? Where does it go anyway?

Have you seen the papers? There's a wonder kid and he's only two (only two)
He's playing Beethoven on his violin
There's something I don't need tickets to
Cause I've seen eloquence in its purest sense grab hold of me
And then shake itself free
And I'm stunned I mean who invited this fickle friend?
Why won't it stay? Where does it go anyway?

Now I find out the hard way that it's going back to stay, back to stay
And I'm lost and I'm lonely cause my baby won't come back to play
Come back to me little lady please come back to little old me

I'm a tourist even in my own skin

Cause I've seen eloquence in its purest sense grab hold of me
And then shake itself free
And I'm stunned I mean who invited this fickle friend?
Why won't it stay? Where does it go anyway?

Cause I've seen eloquence in its purest sense grab hold of me
And then shake itself free
And I'm stunned I mean who invited this fickle friend?
Why won't it stay? Where does it go anyway?

I Already Know

Invitations never came, she was late again
So we pretended not to see her life controlled by him
So we spent the winter there calming frenzied nerves
Your destiny is in the hands of the deity you serve
Lovers come and lovers go
Just don't lose your nerve
That's when she said...

Tell me something I don't already know
Tell me something I don't already know
Tell me something, baby, please just tell me something

Inspiration's not a choice, it's got to search you out
And give ;you truth you have to voice beyone a shadow of a doubt
Education was a drag, it's too much them or me
I always seemed to find a snag to confuse my pedigree
She said to find a jury of your peers
They'd all have to learn
To confront their fears

Tell me something I don't already know
Tell me something I don't already know
Tell me something, baby, please just tell me something

Tell me something I don't already know
Tell me something I don't already know
Tell me something, baby, please just tell me something



See You Again

Life can be just like painting
Full of wonderful strangeness
With colors so vibrant you feel like you should look away
Paint me in your dreams you'll remember me this way

I, I want to life you out of your past
Because I had nothing to do with it say we can leave it behind
My face reflected in your eyes for everyone to see

Until I see you again
Until I see you again

I amazed all the survivors
With my heart strings intact I brought it all back to you
And I, I want to dance with you
I need you to enjoy just the thought of it, give in, give in
Oh walk me through your maze, I promise I won't stray

Until I see you again
Until I see you again

Walk me through your maze forever...
Until I see you again

Honey

Who's that talkin' to the blue sky?
Staring, starin' at the orange sun?
Who's that laughin' all the way home? It's me...
So you are pretty sure I am the one
You checked me out, I'm loads of fun
You think I may also be slighty insane
You've seen me dance, that's proof enough

I got this little girl who overflows with questions
She tastes like honey
She's broken all my rules but she is the exeption
She tastes like honey

Time has a way of revealing the truth
Like ugly trends from a desperate youth
I only hope hindsight is kinder to us
And we don't find we've missed the bus

I got this little girl who overflows with questions
She tastes like honey
She's broken all my rules but she is the exeption
Does that sound funny?

How can you help anyone if you can't help yourself?
How can you help anyone if you can't help yourself?
How can you help anyone if you can't help yourself?

Who's that peering through the keyhole?
Standing, standin' on his tippy toes
Who's that starin' at a blank page? It's me...
Should we be worried we're movin' so fast
I can't resist that kiss
So tell me to stop and I promise I'll try
that's when she said "Let's stay in bed"

I got this little girl who tells it like it is
She tastes like honey
I've forgotten all my rules have a look syhe's an exeption

How can you help anyone if you can't help yourself?
How can you help anyone if you can't help yourself?
How can you help anyone if you can't help yourself?
How can I help anyone if I can't help myself?
How can I help anyone if I can't help myself?
How can I help anyone if I can't help myself?
How can I help anyone if I can't help myself?


< The Plan

Oh it's so hard to believe like a bad dream you cannot wake from
Cause we used to sing songs together and weather the changes that come

If life apart is impossible
And I know anything's possible
We'll wait five years and meet on the very spot we once called home

And I went from passionate lover to father and brother to her
And she kept her magic from me for what seemed like an eternity

If life apart is impossible
And I know anything's possible
We'll wait five years and meet on the very spot we once called home

Now you have got to understand
We had dropped each other's hand so long ago
And sunk into a deep despair
Nobody in love should ever know or feel
It's sad but only in the sense
We were young and innocent back then

And we were a storybook couple, the kind of stuff dreams are made on
Yeah living proof that love exists, we could have inspired you

But something failed in our master plan
And far away our happiness ran
It took so long to see what I'd really never seen before

Now you have got to understand
We had dropped each other's hand so long ago
And sunk into a deep despair
Nobody in love should ever know or feel
It's sad but only in the sense
We were young and innocent back then

I never once towards the end saw the friend that she could have been
And she was too angry to see all the patience she needed from me

If life apart is impossible
And I know anything's possible
We'll wait five years and meet on the very spot we once called home

Now you have got to understand
We had dropped each other's hand so long ago
And sunk into a deep despair
Nobody in love should ever know or feel
It's sad but only in the sense
We were young and innocent back then
And if there is a change of heart let me introduce you to the plan.

All God's Creatures

I can walk. I can run.
Take a bow. Just for fun.
When it's true there's nothing like it
It's not my job to make you like it
Running with the animals tonight

I'm quite aware of what I've accomplished.
A natural high. I'm feeling famished.
So color me completely zany
When you're well lit you're still in training (boo)
Running with the animals tonight

Run...take it off. Uh keep it off.
Fancy footwork. Where were you, huh?
Cause when it's true there's nothing like it
It's not my job to make you like it
Running with the animals tonight.
Running with the animals tonight.
Running with the animals tonight.

Goodnight Sweet Night

Nobody told me, guess I could've just asked how you were, how you were
It seems like forever since you told me you dropped out of school
And came back to the west where they say life's the best

And I haven't heard a thing about the boy
No I haven't heard a thing about the boy
Though I try to understand this
I don't know what it is
Cause I haven't heard a thing about the boy

I tried to remember you and me and how it was way back then, before him
With morning come the birds, with birds come the light
Au revoir, adios, good night, sweet night

And I haven't heard a thing about the boy
No I haven't heard a thing about the boy
Though I try to understand you
I don't know who you are
Cause I haven't heard a thing about the boy

Good night, sweet night
Good night, sweet night
Good night, sweet night
Good night, sweet night


Burning Airlines Give You So Much More
(by Brian Eno)


When I got back home I found a message on the door
Sweet Regina's gone to China crosslegged on the floor
Of a burning jet that's smoothly flying:
Burning airlines give you so much more.

How does she intend to live when she's in far Cathay?
I somehow can't imagine her just planting rice all day.
Maybe she will do a bit of spying
With microcameras hidden in her hair.

I guess Regina's on the plane, a Newsweek on her knees
While miles below her the curlews call from strangely stunted trees.
The painted sage sits just as though he's flying;
Regina's jet disturbs his wispy beard.

When you reach Kyoto send a postcard if you can,
And please convey my fond regards to Chih-Hao's girl Yu-Lan.

I heard a rumour they were getting married
But someone left the papers in Japan.
Left them in Japan, left them in Japan...


Tomorrow Will Be Too Long
(by The Monochrome Set)


Go easy, go easy, go easy

Go easy on your promises
And charity shown to clowns
Chansons d'amour are rising
on the other side of town
(chorus)
Listen to the music fade away
Blessed by a broken wand
Today has passed forever
Tomorrow will be too long

Somewhere a tide of harder eyes
brings guns to bridal suites
The interrupted lovers
stand and shiver in floodlit streets

(chorus)

The tears of the devil have
burned the seeds of pity
Radiation leads them
To the heart of a dying city

(chorus)
