if i said i believe my eyes
and science can move my soul if i said i'm not afraid to die and i don't need you i'd be lying if i said the way he looks at me doesn't make me want to undress if i said i could leave you now and go where i could forget i'd be lying i've been lying all my life with silence and i need to find the words to tell you if i said i don't want what i don't have and all the answers are enough if i said i believe in myself and that's enough i'd be lying |

you face the blue and wish the roof would open up
but arches of commerce have made the sky corrupt go down break the code of death for profit break the guns break the silence of money break the greedy unison go down maybe someday you'll come back to me find the mystical connection find the dreams under cynical wreckage find the winding conscious stream go down maybe someday you'll come back to me |

Two men with empty pockets put lipstick on a little girl
and another dream goes by they make her ride the rockets that fall into a sea of pearl and another dream goes by power stealing through fading out of view our cruel inventions the beat generation all got on the morning train and another dream goes by they left me at the station breathing dust from hopeless rain and another dream goes by un-invent the wheel of endless greed let conscience run like a river like a dreamer a world of elevators with music like magazines and another dream goes by magnetic separators divided by a wall of screens and another dream goes by |

in the middle of the night i'm growing secrets
holding the choice in my hand my beating heart some see an end i see a way out starting with ashes i'm building fire we're danced a long time we've danced too long out on the floor i'm thinking i'm standing still i want them to think i'm dead turn off the noises that drug my brain and make me buy fashion is out of fashion broken t.v. listens to the wind we're danced a long time we've danced too long out on the floor i'm thinking i'm standing still when i turn to look they're making sex carry obsession to market i'm so confused i'm burning in the shadows you're the only fire made to match we're danced a long time we've danced too long out on the floor i'm thinking i'm standing still |

of control spilling down to culture mock you can tell me feet will land on the ground, safe, and walk tripping over gravity missing logic tripping over gravity hicks on fire commuter virus has killed the balance ball stained with heaven always washing our legs won't move at all tripping over gravity missing logic tripping over gravity free thought pirates neon fights flashing rights on concrete lace sleepless tired walls of print chatting cage on jokers face tripping over gravity missing logic tripping over gravity |

we lock the hurricane indoors
looking for shelter, we deny and ignore afraid that our words bring clouds we talk in code the thunder or cruel perfection covers love and we're cold the private storm and our souls are worn from the tears the private storm and it rages on through the years no warning the ground pulls out from underneath we tiptoe through air until we see the blood on their teeth time doesn't heal, the scars turn into wounds as we walk lightly silent screams in the storm |

building cage i can only study the blame
i can think of a word for myself but no name question darts throw me to the dogs of progress but they run from what really matters raised on promises to the furnace for shade to the dust for a drink logic's mad and shame doesn't care what you think the ocean's dry it's only a phantom that you fathom but the flood comes from the desert raised on promises land of the known free of the brave they sell us ourselves the center has moved and water bleeds from broken faces raised on promises |

the first time he saw her was through a telescope
a misfit cactus filled with bottled hope he answered like a sick man getting out of bed suspicion and thirst curiosity and dread the blindness in control freeze the fatal bullet as we're falling through a hole in time one night he came home and found the house burning through the frozen smoke he saw the earth turning a curtain of silence fell on deaf ears a dream from the past was echoing through the years the blindness in control freeze the fatal bullet as we're falling through a hole in time |

in a white room, in a white head
in a cobweb of enterprise where the dreams sleep and fears keep that's where the colors don't go that's where the colors don't show in one take, no give half live, half ignore an endless chase in a small place one world, one white flag one shopping bag and restaurant no surprise there only lies there i want your eyes to color my world and see our endless longing |
