Even Higher

Come the sky
Closer
Come the sky
Closer
I 'll get you higher,
even higher
higher than ever
meeting the mad hatter
I'll get you higher,
even higher
will cross
barbed wires
have stitches
on the tyres
I 'll get you higher,
even higher
run through
wild fire
burn the
old river
I 'll get you higher,
even higher
no space
for the choir
say
All your prayers
Come the sky
Closer
Come the sky
Come the sky
Closer
Come the sky
Closer
I 'll get you higher,
even higher
I 'll get you higher, even higher
so keep it together
I 'll get you higher,
even higher
stopped short my anger
flames drove my temper
I 'll get you higher,
even higher
and we’ll pour into the sun,
like madmen on the run,
I 'll get you higher,
even higher
above the horizon,
soar like an angry gun,
I 'll get you higher,
even higher
escaping the doldrums,
rising above the slums,
I 'll get you higher,
even higher
watch the sky
surrender
now you've reached
the outer layer

Crashed On The Moon
02:37

I crashed on the moon
It happened so soon
Was on a Mars trip
You took me to a landfill
I crashed on the moon
sometime after June
They said I'd survive
as long as I lied
I wrecked on the beach
Vessel had a breach
Was on a mars crusade
left with a hand grenade
I wrecked on the beach
My sensors just blinked
They said I'd survive
as long as I lied
I was out at sea
named tranquility
ending the mars charade
long gone the sweet escape
I was out at sea
wishing company
They said I'd survive
as long as I lied
full of hatred
full of hope
I realized
I was tied
to a longer rope.
The verbose was right
wasn't worth a fight
paid all my attention
But lost all ignition
Did you realize
I was out there
in the middle of
the middle of nowhere?
No more ground control
Major Tom 's gone
No more ground control
Major Tom is awol

James James

James was a friend but
he lost his mind
Forgot his name
Said he was fine
Lessons he learnt
Felt like sunburn
He took on a path
Let the rubble grow
Funny he did the math
Knowing where he'd go
James couldn't resist
entirely his fault
But when the monster hissed
He didn't have a bolt
So he took a dive
And crawled to the dirt
Counted twenty-five
Wiping off that smirk
(James James )
Forgot all
But her name
(James James )
To him
All the girls Looked the same
(James James )
James James
Forgot all
But his name
(James James )
To him
All the girls
Looked the same

Life In Limbo
01:44
|
|||
cities zipped past
never to last
green then amber
night to remember
we were in tow …
life in limbo
trains outbound
new playgrounds
pretend we meant that,
and all to each other
deny the fact
we were bystanders
we were bystanders
we thought life was warm
we believed in the new platform
where the sun was pouring down
where the sun was pouring down
two more stops
may be four?
how many more
till it gets me?
shake down that line
the air scorched my eyes
don't know if I'll pull through
Will l ever see you ?
We are the last of us.
new maps new directions

Lost It
02:51
|
|||
Entitled to a new crown
I'll get faster to the ground
I know what I have to do
Oh please let me try anew
Warm embrace,
sweet disgrace
I felt quite out of place
seeing your ponytail run, run away
Some easy pretense
Words you couldn't say
Filthy company
Like there's nothing else to do
I can't fall again for you
I think I've lost my mind
take me to the light house
spare me the broken glass
on the pebbles by the shore
Warm embrace,
sweet disgrace
I felt quite out of place
seeing your ponytail run ,run away
Some easy pretense
Words you couldn't say
Filthy company
Like there's nothing else to do
I can't fall again for you

Flashes
01:50
|
|||
vivid flashes of light,
you can't ignore
you can't fight
piercing right
through me
a hole of sympathy
vivid flashes of light,
they'll hurt some more
You can't deny
flat on the (sea) shore
the burden is
landing on my knees
vivid flashes of light,
My hands are sore
You were so tied
right at my door
gonna lie down
staring at your feet
vivid flashes of light
I begged some more
You said you'd write
a chapter or four
I'll dry my eyes
and ask for your key
vivid flashes of light
I heard the score
Did we settle all right?
I'm not that sure
over the mantrap
in the end you agreed...
so many so bright
so many so bright
so many so bright
so many so bright
so many so bright
so many so bright
they hurt the night
They're amazing

Stoned
02:29
|
|||
I can hear you laughing
but now you laugh alone
hear me feeling nothing
For your days are gone
oh… you were simply nothing
but you could have had it all
now you are left gaping
and... you can keep it all
back to your damp grotto
those chains you wouldn't leave
you side with your own Mojo
you fail insanity
Your acts were not so different
you just could not address
stayed looped in your conscience
What else could I expect ?
it rushed out of your hands
when words were not enough
you got on the wrong train
drooling in your big mouth
Short for all decisions
you never took a stand
blinded by delusions
now you read others' comments
You had your go
misplaced and shaking
you felt unknown
alas and trembling
decision was out of your hands

Fuzzy Colors
02:44
|
|||
I need to run,
run away
Take it all
skip Sunday
Red zone
No stopping
On approach
Children crossing
Watch the meter
Amber light
no one to shelter
at bus stops at Night
My eyes stick to the ground
Traffic lights abound
Random lines
fuzzy colors
exit five
take left shoulder
Dots in the distance
They dance dance dance
Signs in the mirror
Blur blur blur !
