It will shine and it will shudder
As I guide it with my rudder On its metaled ways It will cut the night before it As it leaves the day that saw it On its metaled ways Nobody passes us in the deep quiet of the dark sky Nobody sees us alone out here among the stars In these metal ways In these metal days In these metal ways In these metal days In these metal ways In these metal days In these metal ways In these metal days Through a fault of our designing We are lost among the windings Of these metal ways Back to silence back to minus With the purple sky behind us In these metal ways Nobody hears us when we're alone in the blue future No one receiving the radio's splintered waves In these metal ways In these metal days In these metal ways In these metal days In these metal ways In these metal days In these metal ways In these metal days In these metal ways In these metal days In these metal ways In these metal ways In these metal days |

Backwater
We're sailing at the edges of time Backwater We're drifting at the waterline Oh, we're floating in the coastal waters You and me and the porter's daughters Ooh what to do, not a sausage to do And the shorter of the porter's daughters Dips her hand in the deadly waters Ooh what to do, in a tiny canoe Black water There were six of us but now we are five We're all talking To keep the conversation alive There was a senator from Ecuador Who talked about a meteor That crashed on a hill in the south of Peru And was found by a conquistador Who took it to the Emperor And he passed it on to a Turkish guru His daughter Was slated for becoming divine He taught her He taught her how to split and define But if you study the logistics And heuristics of the mystics You will find that their minds rarely move in a line So it's much more realistic To abandon such ballistics And resign to be trapped on a leaf in the vine |

Dark alley (dark alley) black star
Four turkeys in a big black car The road is shiny (bright shine) the wheels slide Four turkeys going for a dangerous ride The lacquer crackles (black tar) the engines roar A ship was turning broadside to the shore Splish splash I was raking in the cash The biology of purpose keeps my nose above the surface, oh King's lead hat put the innocence inside her It will come, it will come, it will surely come King's lead hat was a mother to desire It will come, it will come, it will surely come In New Delhi (smelly Delhi) and Hong Kong They all know that it won't be long I count my fingers (digit counter) as night falls And draw bananas on the bathroom walls The killer cycles (humdrum) the killer hertz The passage of my life is measured out in shirts Time and motion (motion carried) time and tide All I know and all I have is time and time and tide is on my side King's lead hat put the poker in the fire It will come, it will come, it will surely come King's lead hat was a mother to desire It will come, it will come, it will surely come The weapon's ready (ready Freddy) the guns purr The satellite distorts his voice to a slur He gives orders (finger pie) which no one hears The king's hat fits over their ears He takes his modicate (indecipherable) cold turpentine He tries to dial out 999999999 He dials reception (moving finger) he's all alone He's just a victim of the telephone King's lead hat made the Amazon much wider It will come, it will come, it will surely come King's lead hat put the poker in the fire It will come, it will come, it will surely come King's lead hat was a mother to desire It will come, it will come, it will surely come King's lead hat put the innocence inside her It will come, it will come, it will surely come |

Here he comes
The boy who tried to vanish to the future or past Is no longer here with his sad blue eyes Here he comes He floated away and as he rose above reason He rose above the clouds; he was seven feet high Here he comes The night is like a glove and he's floating like a dove That catches the wind in the deep blue sky Here he comes The boy who tried to vanish to another time Is no longer here with his sad blue eyes Here he comes Here he comes Here he comes The boy who tried to vanish to another place Sees us following him all one at a time Here he comes And we're checking out each other's supplies And looking at the eyes of all the others standing in the line Here he comes The night is like a glove and he's floating like a dove With his deep blue eyes in the deep blue sky Here he comes The boy who tried to vanish to the future or past Is no longer alone among the dragonflies Here he comes Here he comes Who will remember him? Who will remember him? |

I am on an open sea
Just drifting as the hours go slowly by Julie with her open blouse Is gazing up into the empty sky. Now it seems to be so strange here Now it's so blue The still sea is darker than before... No wind disturbs our coloured sail The radio is silent, so are we Julie's head is on her arm Her fingers brush the surface of the sea. Now I wonder if we'll be seen here Or if time has left us all alone The still sea is darker than before... |

Here we are
Stuck by this river, You and I Underneath a sky that's ever falling down, down, down Ever falling down. Through the day As if on an ocean Waiting here, Always failing to remember why we came, came, came: I wonder why we came. You talk to me as if from a distance And I reply With impressions chosen from another time, time, time, From another time. |

Spider and I sit watching the sky
On a world without sound We knit a web to catch one tiny fly For our world without sound We sleep in the mornings We dream of a ship that sails away A thousand miles away. |
