I fell asleep and read just about every paragraph.
Read the scene where gravity is pulling me around Peel back the mountains peel back the sky Stomp gravity into the floor It's a Man Ray kind of sky Let me show you what I can do with it Time and distance are out of place here Step up, step up, step up the sky is open-armed When the light is mine, I felt gravity pull Somewhere near the end it said "You can't do this", I said "I can too" Shift sway rivers shift, oceans fall and mountains drift It's a Man Ray kind of sky Let me show you what I can do with it Step up, step up, step up the sky is open-armed When the light is mine, I felt gravity pull onto my eyes, Holding my head straight (looking down). This is the easiest task I've ever had to do...

He's not to be reached, he's to be reached.
He's not to be reached, he's to be reached. Called the fool and the company, On his own where he'd rather be. Where he ought to be, he sees what you can't see, can't you see that? Maybe he's caught in the legend, maybe he's caught in the mood. Maybe these maps and legends have been misunderstood. Down the way the road's divided, Paint me the places you have seen. Those who know what I don't know refer to the yellow, red and green Maybe he's caught in the legend, maybe he's caught in the mood. Maybe these maps and legends have been misunderstood. He's not to be reached, he's to be reached. (4 times) The map that you painted didn't seem real. He just sings whatever he's seen Point to the legend, point to the east, Point to the yellow, red and green Maybe he's caught in the legend, maybe he's caught in the mood. Maybe these maps and legends have been misunderstood, been misunderstood. (Maps and legends) (Maps and legends) Is he to be reached? He's not to be reached. (Maps and legends) Is he to be reached?

The walls are built up, stone by stone,
the fields divided one by one. And the train conductor says "Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break We've been on this shift too long" And the train conductor says "Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away" I saw a treehouse on the outskirts of the farm. The power lines have floaters so the airplanes won't get snagged. Bells are ringing through the town again, Children look up, all they hear is sky-blue, bells ringing And the train conductor says "Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away" Way to shield the hated heat. Way to put myself to sleep. Way to shield the hated heat. Way to put myself, my children to sleep. He piloted this song in a plane like that one. She is selling faith on the Go Tell crusade. Locomotive 8, Southern Crescent, hear the bells ring again. Field to weed is lookin' thin And the train conductor says "Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break We've been on this shift too long." And the train conductor says "Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away" |

Burn bright through the night, two pockets lead the way
To doors to go between the wall was raised today To doors remain before your others and your own Keep these books well stocked away and take your happy home My carpenter's out and running about, talking to the street My pockets are out and running about Barking in the street to tell what I have hidden there Burn bright through the night, two pockets lead the way Two doors to go between the wall was raised today Raise the walls and shout its flaws, a carpenter should rest So that when you tire of one side the other serves you best My carpenter's out and running about, talking to the street My pockets are out and running about Barking in the street to tell what I have hidden there The hills ringing hear the words in time Listen to the holler, listen to my walls within my tongue Can't you see you made my ears go tin? The air quicken tension building inference suddenly Life and how to live it Raise the walls and shout its flaws, a carpenter should rest So that when you tire of one side the other serves you best Read about the wisdom lost, a knock, a knock, a knock A secret knock one hammer's locked the other wisdom lost My carpenter's out and running about, talking to the street My pockets are out and running about Barking in the street to tell what I have hidden there My carpenter's out and running about, barking in the, listen to the holler My pockets are out and running about Barking in the street to tell what I have hidden there Listen, listen to the holler, If I write a book it will be called "Life and How to Live It" |

The wheelbarrow's fallen. Look at my hands
They've found some surplus cheaper hands Rubbing palms and pick and choose, who will they choose? Here is the news. Look at that building, look at this man Haloed and whitewashed gone to find a cheaper hand He'll offer a pound, offer a pound. Green grow the rushes go. Green grow the rushes go Green grow the rushes go The compass points the workers home Pay for your freedom, find another gate Guilt by associate, the rushes wilted a long time ago Guilty as you go. Stay off that highway, word is it's not so safe The grasses that hide the greenback the amber waves of gain again The amber waves of gain. Green grow the rushes go. Green grow the rushes go. Green grow the rushes go. The compass points the workers home. Green grow the rushes go. Green grow the rushes go. Green grow the rushes go. Green grow the rushes go. Green grow the rushes go. Green grow the rushes go. |

Who will stand alone? She carried ribbons, she wore them out
Courage built a bridge, jealous tore it down At least it's something you've left behind like Kohoutek, you were gone. We sat in the garden, we stood on the porch I won't deny myself, we never talked She wore bangles, she wore bells on her toes and she jumped like a fish Like a flyin' friend, you were gone like Kohoutek, can't forget that Fever built a bridge, reason tore it down If I am one to follow.. who will stand alone? Maybe you're not the problem scissors, paper, stone If you stand and holler, these prayers will talk She carried ribbons, she wore them out Michael built a bridge...Michael tore it down At least it's something you've left behind like Kohoutek, you were gone. Michael built a bridge... Michael tore it down If I stand and holler... will I stand alone |

When you greet a stranger look at his shoes
Keep your money in your shoes put your trouble behind When you greet a stranger look at her hands Keep your money in your hands put your travel behind Who are you going to call for, what do you have to say? Keep your hat on your head home is a long way away At the end of the day, I'll forget your name I'd like it here if I could leave and see you from a long way away When you greet a stranger, look at his shoes Keep you memories in your shoes, put your travel behind Who are you going to call for, what do you have to say? Keep your hat on your head. Home is a long way away. At the end of the day, when there are no friends When there are no lovers, who are you going to call for? What do you have to change? A familiar face a foreign place I'll forget your name I'd like it here if I could leave and see you from a long way away. Who are you going to call for, what do you have to say? Keep your hat on your head. Home is a long way away |

That's when Wendell Gee takes a tug
Upon the string that held the line of trees Behind the house he lived in He was reared to give respect But somewhere down the line he chose To whistle as the wind blows Whistle as the wind blows, with me He had a dream one night That the tree had lost its middle So he built a trunk of chicken wire To try to hold it up But the wire, the wire turned to lizard skin And when he climbed inside There wasn't even time to say Goodbye to Wendell Gee So whistle as the wind blows Whistle as the wind blows, with me If the wind were colors And if the air could speak Then whistle as the wind blows Whistle as the wind blows |

Come on aboard, I promise you you won't hurt the horse
We treat him well, we feed him well. There's lots of room for you on the bandwagon, The road may be rough, the weather may forget us But won't we all parade around and sing our songs, A magic kingdom, open-armed Greet us hello, bravo, name in lights Passing on the word to fellow passengers and players, passing in, Until you're tired looking at all the flags And all the banners waving This is some parade, yesiree Bob. Could we have known? Yesiree Bob, could we have known? Look at all the flags and all the banners waving. Open up our arms, a magic kingdom, open-armed and greet us all Come on aboard I promise you you won't hurt the horse We treat him well, we feed him well There's lots of room for you on the bandwagon The road may be rough, the weather may forget us But won't we all parade around and sing our songs and wave our flags. A magic kingdom, greet us all hello, greet us hello, greet us hello. |
