TIDEPOOL TELEGRAPH

 

Through the eyes telegraph

The book drew in

Takes tomorrow to see

Forever to be

Unwind holding back

Their unknown where it rolls

But I know

 

Would her eyes for the killing

It wasn't that I couldn't live

Cursing me in this way

 

Time's escaping time

Time's escaping time

Who is young

Who is you

 

Would her eyes for the killing

It wasn't that I couldn't live

Cursing me in this way

 

Now I'd give to own

What it is to know

 

Now I'd give to own

What it is to know

 

Time's escaping time

Who is young

Who is young

Who is you

 

Would her eyes for the killing

It wasn't that I couldn't live

Cursing me in this way

 

In this way

In this way

I GOT NIGHTMARES

I got nightmares all the time

'Bout a girl who ain't too fine

Being in love with that girl is worse

Knocks me on my head at first

 

(maniacal laughter)

 

Then she splits my mind in two

Kiss my lips and beats me too

My head does hurt, my eyes do ring

Like a shingle (?? - not sure) wishes branch

 

I feel the weight of thousand stone

With this stick she breaks my bones

 

(moaning)

 

She lifts me up so very high

She is a drug I don't deny

She'll let me go right to the floor

Then I  wake up with a shock for her

C MYSELF AND EYE

You put me on a bridge, do it

And teach your son while you do it

For all those who are searching

 

Go to town, running innocent

To wallow now, can't move it

Can't sit by another minute

 

As the time goes

Your freedom thrown up against the wall

I can see myself

 

You put it on and keep it moving

Another day leads to ruin

Just understand that we can do it

 

Can't waste another minute

Bygones now are bad decisions

The plaster walls are accusing, refusing

 

As the time goes

Your freedom thrown up against the wall

I can see myself

 

Reach out to what you ruined

And all you wanted raced to seize it

I hope you hear my voice calling

 

All your fear leads to vision

When the dawn has lost its reason

And we were meant to go through it

 

As the time goes

Your freedom rolls up against the wall

I can see myself

TICK TOCK 3 O'CLOCK

 

Hippopotami on motorcars

And personally flown in from Mars

Frog and Toad are friends

 

Elephants making merriment

Lambs have all gone home for Lent

Grousing about the weather

 

Nighttime cloud in my bed

These nightmares soon led

The merry coats of winter

 

It's all so ogmaleficent

And isn't it magnificent?

A shiver-digging shipwreck

Darling would you ever follow me endeavor?

WHAT BECOMES OF THE CLOCK

 

Circling, to a room
I am drawn to you
It's what we have
Walking, taking time
The clock has stopped

Eyes that look to offer
Change from fall to autumn
It's here, it's what you do
Here

You've been, here before
We are, here again
All the saints in heaven
What becomes of the clock
Tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock

Eyes that look to offer
Change from fall to autumn
It's here, it's what you do
It's here, it's what you do

Out of time, in your mind
Out of sight, on the slide
My main line, it's just fine.
Now breath

Eyes that look to offer
Change from fall to autumn
It's here, it's what you do
It's here, it's what you do
It's here, it's what you do

Out of time, in your mind
Out of sight, on the slide,
My main line, it's just fine
Over ride, broad daylight
Deep inside, it's just fine

FELICITY'S SURPRISE

Devil's grin in platform shoes

Borrowed diamonds, send in new recruits

Loose change falling through the room

Wearing cement wings

And the noose it strains on the weighted end

And the fears of flood describes him again

And it don't make sense, ah ha

Feeling dirty on dry land

 

Gravedigger in the morning haze

Looks up to see it's his own name engraved

And it's a long parade

And there's a one man band

And the sun is setting

 

I've been you and I've been me

Why the surprise, Felicity?

I am torn, so let's go home

 

When heads are turning, tails go first

Underground making right hand turns

 

And the news is old but the paper's new

Above the clouds afford a view

Is 39 days, changing his face

Requisitioned

 

I've been you and I've been me

Why the surprise, Felicity?

You seem torn, so let's go home

NOW, INVISIBLY

It's not enough

I'm doin' it for me

And just because

Knows when to think

Darkness comes, now invisibly

Not because, but don't use to see

 

These eyes exist inside

Roads carry us, a world divine

A world divine

 

Gonna' catch up

To your destiny

With two cups

Like coffee and tea

Roll the lumps, just as easily

Not because, but don't use to see

 

These eyes exist inside

Roads carry us, a world divine

A world divine

OF DREAMS

She said I know you

And I wanted her to know me

She said it's beautiful

And I asked her to show me

 

We walked through gardens

Where the flowers sang in color

We touched the things that

Are only sometimes touched by lovers

 

She moves so gracefully

Through silk and satin shadow

We knew of things that one time were only known

With eyes closed

 

We both caressed the air

And made it sing

She knew of love

She knew of everything

 

The sun shone down on her

Through clouds of pink and orange

La la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la

 

She spoke in words that told of

Things that really mattered

Be kind to rabbits 

And have pity on Mad Hatters

THE SCROLL

 

In this dark-eyed room, now spent mind

Too little time time

You wake up, hours loom

It comes to you too too

The staff went through the power lines

The power lines

 

Some more time, is little time

A life, the scroll has killed them

If you cross the line, forever asking why

 

Shiver only witnesses, with every move

Sweat a beat bright-eyed glint

Last morning never comes for holding to

Too soon for you too

 

Some more time, is little time

The life, the scroll has killed them

If you cross the line, forever asking why
