I peeked in to say goodnight when I heard my child in prayer. Send dear God some scarlet ribbons scarlet ribbons for my hair. All the stores were closed and shuttered all the streets were dark and bare.
Spiraling, falling. A silver machine. From wings of freedom. Silent above. . Eyelids were burning. Summer sun roasting. Tumbling chrome. In the clear blue sky.
I came from nothing before nothing began. Broke the window of existence and became a man. . No sympathy for fools. My star is black and burned. I tilt towards the light.
I've watched the open line, I'd swing the sun up in the sky. I threw down the screens and opened up the door. The sun came streaming in and it shone out through your eyes.
Yes, yes I'd launch into the rising sun. My livin' breath is measured. Every step is done fare you well my friends. See you down the line, yea, yea. .
We ride the cosmic streams of time. We are the fools you came to trust. We blind the eyes of history. We tear ourselves down from your cross. . Half lives.
Holy was the preacher. Riding on his rig of steel in the rising sun. This was no grim reaper. But a man with a smile who took a pride in a job well done, yeah.
Trapped inside a web of fiery gravity that fuels all our needs. Chaotic energy that sucks the life from H to H e. All life withers in the sun. I deny what I have done.
Sound of Merlin's fired up and their spoiling for the fight. A thousand bombers ready, it's the target for the night. Deeper into Germany, but we all know the score.
Shoot, shoot. Shoot all the clowns, yeah. Shoot, shoot. Shoot all the clowns. Shoot, shoot, yeah. . I've been down at the crazy house. I've been playing with the cat and the mouse.
(woo, hey). Mira, mira, mira, andale, andale, yeah-ow!. . [spoken:]. With a sense of irony, everyone you see. Is chasing their illusions. Take a dive, or sink, or swim.
Yeah did you ever have one of those days like you know like when everything you did just seemed to go to pot nothing went right. you know and your looking out at your window at your neighbors house and thinkin how does he get it all so good for himself.
Well you look in the mirror and what do you see. a starin back at your eyes. and ain't it gettin any clearer that you can't change your life just because you never tried.
Is the sun yes. The size of a beach ball. The earth shall be the size of a sweet, sweet pea. Let it be so it goes blow your nose. Yeah, yeah, yeah I hear you, I hear you calling.
Though it hurts to go away. it's impossible to stay. -. But there's one thing I must say before I go:. I love you. (l love you) you know.. I'll be thinking of you in 'most ev'riything I do..
Every day I walk out in this torn up world. And I fight to survive. I'm laughing when I make it to the Saturday. And I'm alive. Carrying your smile with me.
God is great, God is good. He guards your neighborhood. Though it's generally understood. Not quite the way you would. You try to take the slack. Stay awake and watch his back.
Sing my songs to me. Sing them to me softly. Sing me sunlight and shadows. Orange groves and meadows. Let your voice ring back my memories. Sing my songs to me.
(by Daniel Kortchmar). I've witnessed those one night stands. Must have played in a thousand bands. But I'm just here tonight, tomorrow I'll be gone. Seen folks show their blacker sides.
