Last minute on earth
what would you do, who would you call? Your mobile is down, who will write the history of that final day? That last minute on earth one minute alone, lost word or cause for one who had everything, now unfold this scary beautiful end Last minute on earth saving your last famous words maybe just whistle a tune on a plain bird of clay Last minute on earth fractions of time is all that is left You used to kill time, now it's time who's killing you, they've closed the store Last minute on earth waiting to fly like pigs in the dirt gold 'round your neck, but your wings are broken, bent & burnt they say Last minute alive check your account, to buy a way out beating the clock, but you cannot beat the feeling of being alive!!! Last minute on earth saving your last famous words maybe just whistle a tune on a plain bird of clay Last minute on earth, in the rapids of time A story on wheels without rhythm (or rhyme) Racing the memory lane, high and low You own the world but got nowhere else to go Last fraction of hope, a flickering light Voices so clear step out of the night ...go talk to your God instead of talk to yourself Look into the light if you're looking for help!!! |

When you turn away and lock all your doors
When it's getting out of hand, how am I to understand And then you may think there's no turning back Running low on self esteem falling back into your dream There's this endless hole in the wishing well Wish you were somebody else but too afraid to ask for help Would you play a part in the scheme of things And I will depend on you, if you show me how to do We are the troopers, pick up the losers and turn into a better day Pick up the sceptics, the non believers and turn into a brighter day And the winner smiles and she takes it all And you are lonely and afraid, but she doesn't look your way And they know the drill, taking you apart And the world that you have known is a world without a heart We are the troopers, pick up the losers and turn into a better day Pick up the sceptics, the non believers and turn into a brighter day Who can tell the price of learning, steppin out and turn the key slow and steady fire burning, feeding on it's elf esteem. We are the troopers, pick up the losers and turn into a better day Pick up the sceptics, the non believers and turn into a brighter day |

Walk with me as long as we're together
Get your tickets to what is forever Trades in loyalty and disengagement First make sure that your business is hellbent Then you are alone with the ghosts of the night One Road may lead you to Sanctuary Seeking the price of your heart and soul You're still in doubt!!! Step aside and you look at this rat race Get some more to stuff in your fuzzface Clear contender for wasting the best years Your goldplated bones may rattle forever Then you're alone with the dogs at the gate One road may lead you to sanctuary They'll still be playing Hockey in Hell You're still in Debt!!! On the fields of Green and Gold On the hills out in my mind that we watched and we played and we danced that were pictured in the Sun Words, thoughts & play that you constantly gave to me Did I stop - did I stay - did I think what the world would be? How I've tried to define what is love, in my mind As we pass what is now this "now" is suddenly history Sliding thru the days making notes of a different kind Did I stop - did I pray - did I love, Unconditionally How hard to face you never see a breakingpoint There's nothing such as finalized, we all must carry on If time is constant rulers set the time, the time of day But it hurts and it aches but it shines and it celebrates!!! |

The sun is up, the early morning flavours
once more set up the trades and all the tables we speak of progress, soon we speak of wars we say hello/goodbye, we close the doors The sun is gone for just about an hour in comes the cheaters and notorious liars like serpents crawling, close the ivory towers This called "the coming of the business hour" The native world they gather around the fire to feed their swirling dragons of desire "The ones that have shall get" and that's a fact take one step forward then move two steps back We all provide the monsters of excess to fill the holes in souls will leave no rest "A man is nothing more than his success" this selfconsuming race will be your test A million lights them keep the city bright the words are right but not the melody There's no one begging here on Eco street But souls are starving to pedestrian beats So many living here from day to day They dream of "something else" but still they stay This monster of a city takes it's toll will no one ever hear or heed your call (I'm) Looking for love in the City of Angels Looking for love So many different dreams and different tales A twist of fate, it's a turn of fortune wheels The educated rise and make their calls Before the blanket of oblivion fall They took your land, they took your history in grand old gestures saying you are free they took your youth, they took the labour years and last of all they took your dignity (I'm) Looking for love in the City of Angels Looking for love The native world they gather around the fire to feed their swirling demons of desire "The ones that have shall get" and that's a fact take one step forward moving two steps back We all must feed the monsters of excess to fill the holes in souls will leave no rest "A man is nothing more than his success" this selfconsuming race will be your test |

Here she comes again, smiling like a horse
God he was asleep on that day she was born Riding her bike with the sun in her eyes finding her way in a world that still smiles Here she comes again, dancin like clown God he went astray on the day she arrived she's stumbling ashore, like a pig in a pond Ready to fly, ready to die The world is a cruel affair if you don't dance to a common beat People are cruel Elaine, if you don't fit the bill The world is so cold out there if you dance to a different beat people are scared, believe me Elaine Here she comes again, dressing like a clown God she's different, puts a smile on your face Here she comes again, smiling like a horse God he was asleep on that day she was born Riding her bike with the sun in her eyes finding her way in a world that still smiles The world is a cruel affair if you don't dance to a common beat People are cruel Elaine, if you don't fit the bill The world is so cold out there if you dance to a different beat but, people are scared, believe me Elaine They say it's the inside that matters now that's a lie, what a lie Fly by strange little bird fly by...fly home |

From your singular secret eye
watch the neighbourhood passin by Stay by your TV and telephone Stay in this fortress that you call home Now you are constantly on your guard but it's tough as they're getting smarter and faster, spreading like rabbits across the land. Was a time when the sky was blue and the traffic was nice and slow Now, we've got tools to communicate We fly out in minutes to any state Still I see sadness in your eyes and thru the walls I can hear your sighs and it's getting harder as you're getting older and that's no lie. Was a time when your head was stronger You were brilliant but that's no longer true Now your memory is growing weaker You have long since passed your peak No more Ace to play, in a fading day You are still alive, nothing less - no more and the years go by, thru the walls I can hear your sighs. |

Left at the roadside with this rapidly burning map
like a magician with no rabbits in his hat Line up the measures to fulfill your brothers dreams across the land we pay in sweat, keepin' up the steam Now you tell me that you can't afford the dreaming but I know it's just a lie! Serious dreamers always can afford the dreaming and you know we're aiming high Put on your makeup, put on your dancing shoes into the wasteland we've all seen you dance away the blues No time for introversions no more time to play Serious distractions always seem to come your way Now you tell me that you can't afford the dreaming but I know it's just a lie! Serious dreamers always can afford the dreaming and you know we're aiming high From the nest we descend in a mist, all like birds on thin ice From the kingdoms of childhood we dream on and turn to the wise And the code that was written in blood & flesh in an ancient time From the kingdom of heaven the ships of dreams were sent to enlighten YOU. Playground Pirates gaze at the Sun far out sisters and flying Nun Poor Picasso gaze at the art Ahead of time means a Lonely heart War is over, boys are home move into the friendly zone Dream at Diners, dying slowly where hungry hearts grows cold and lonely From the nest we descend in a mist, all like birds on thin ice From the kingdoms of childhood we dream on and turn to the wise And the code that was written in blood & flesh in an ancient time From the kingdom of heaven the ships of dreams were sent to enlighten YOU. |
