The Light Lyrics - Singles - Assassin

I. The Dream 

what 

makes a dream 

so very different 

from any other dream 

where is that 

straight line 

that i can hold up 

to the light 

and say NO! 

this is not right 

this does not stand up 

in the light 

II. One Man 

call me cavanaugh 

i'm the one with the caveman jaw 

call me smitty or jones 

talkin' on the tv's and the telephones 

i am the critical masses 

stand back and watch as time passes 

i am the centerfold 

i know the stories before they get told 

you can call me kennedy 

you may have killed him but you cannot kill me 

i am the crippled and blind 

i paint the pretty pictures on the subway signs 

yeah, I am everything to everyone 

and I won't go away at the point of a gun 

all of this in one man 

i am rock 'n roll 

i am classical, country and soul 

i am the nun and the flasher 

i am the father, the son and the bastard 

i am the church and the steeple 

open the door and see all the people 

all of this in one man 

III. Garden People 

i'm coming down 

people's garden 

garden people 

people's garden 

garden people 

IV. Looking Straight Into The Light 

look! 

there's a light 

headed for the sun 

stand and you might 

turn to everyone 

the lady, the lass 

melt into glass 

looking straight into the light 

stand at the door 

that would not open wide 

you tried so hard before 

but now we're on your side 

you see us all - the left and the right 

looking straight into the light 

you see us all - the left and the right 

looking straight into the light 

looking straight into the light 

looking straight into the light ! 

in the light...... 

V. The Man In The Mountain 

i am the man in the mountain 

i stand alone - i've been downed 

in a sea of loveless illusion 

so many lost - so many drowned 

got no church - got no steeple 

got no time for you people 

i live the life of a shadow 

the only chance that i have now 

is there.... 

in the light 

they wore all kinds of things on their heads to disguise 

that they'd rather be unfettered than be wealthy and wise 

and they listened as their enemies made a similar sound and 

they watched a million cars go by 

they were gaining some ground 

but they didn't know what to do 

with this thing they had found 

so they had a party!? 

VI. Senor Valasco's Mystic Voodoo Love Dance 

i am senor valasco 

i drink my milk with tabasco 

got no place to stand 

got no home, no land, but i 

don't ever want to die 

don't place no one before i 

i am the mask and the chamber 

i know of love not of danger 

got no place to go 

ain't nothin' better than be here 

don't ever want to die 

don't place no one before i 

VII. The Return Of The Horrible Catfish man 

i am the catfish man! 

i can't hear you! 

go ahead and have a nice day now 

go ahead and say what you say now 

i stand humanis erectus 

stand back.... ha...ha...ha! 

i am........I AM............. 

all of this in one man 

VIII. The Dream 

what makes a dream 

so very different 

from any other dream 

where is that 

straight line 

that i can hold up 

to the light and say YES! 

this is alright 

this one will 

stand up 

in the 

light
