In A Different Light

Rainbirds In A Different Light Lyrics
1.Sleep With Snakes

This is the story of a reoccuring dream
Some other images cut inbetween
Endlessly seeking for identitiy
Of what there is and what there seems to be
Do i am just what i recall
Do i own waht belongs to all
A sunken ship that carries jewelry and gold
I'd love to get it but the water is much to cold

I'm going down through a poke in my vein
I'm moving up to where i'm going insane
Caught in the middle for it's too high a stake
I'm popping out of my rebirthday cake
I'm shooting up through a whole in my head
See me falling through the safety net
No boundaries no strings attached
I am free so don't you mess with me

Sing a loud song
And draw a few lines
The world is a mess
And i feel fine
Tell a crude joke
About the sign of the times
Have faith and you can sleep with snakes

This is the story of a reoccuring dream
Some other images cut inbetween
Endlessly seeking for identitiy
Of what there is and what there seems to be
Do i am just what i recall
Do i own waht belongs to all
A sunken ship that carries jewelry and gold
I'd love to get it but the water is much to cold
Stuck in the middle i can barely move
I feel my feet are marching to the good groove
I hear my heart is pounding on the right spot
Hell i'm free so don't you mess with me

Sing a loud song
And draw a few lines
The world is a mess
And i feel fine
Tell a crude joke
About the sign of the times
Have faith and you can sleep with snakes


2.Pebbles In My Hand

Here and there and everywhere i go
I stand on my two feet
On my two hands i walk away
Now and then and almost every time
I wake up walking in my sleep
I feel the need to walk away
Once upon a time it was
When everything was real there was
Nobody who would want to walk away
But today we know so much
That we don't really know just what
Is true or false or should we go or stay

All of a sudden i wake up
All of a sudden i wake up
The words i trust to build upon
Are pebbles in my hand
All of a sudden i wake up
All of a sudden i wake up
The words that name the right and wrong
Are pebbles in my hand
The words i give and those i take
Are just pebbles in my hand

Every time i look i see them
Moving by remote control so remote
That they don't even know
Yet it seems they know so much
That they don't really care so much
About who does and who does not control

All of a sudden i wake up
All of a sudden i wake up
The words i trust to build upon
Are pebbles in my hand
All of a sudden i wake up
All of a sudden i wake up
The words that name the right and wrong
Are pebbles in my hand
The words i give and those i take
Are just pebbles in my hand


3.Pride

Shake your dream
Like an apple off the tree
Bed it in the grass

Lay so still
Like you never ever will
Tip the hourglass

A way so bold
How time extends and hearts unfold
Curious at last

True this is a part of me
A part you're not supposed to see
So come away come away

Just one step
Into another scenery
Out in a different world

Don't look back
And don't you even look at me
Unless you want to seek at me

A way so bold
How time extends and hearts unfold
Out in a different world

True you are a part of me
True you're not supposed be
So come away come away

A scent, a whiff, a touch, a weary smile
A wave- good bye, from the bar to the door
-watch the gap in the wooden floor-
I'm back till sundown
A swift lift in a truck, a fuck, some crack
A sly high in the sky
-let my down easy, if you will
No pride to fall back to


4.Devils Dance

The girl would lay awake all night
Until she finds that she just might
Flip the coin so to decide
Which way she was to turn
Dead and gone and free from sin
Free from sin and dead and gone
Or up and go and here to stay
With nowhere to remain

I come a long way come a long way
Come a long way just to say
That this heart of mine is torn
And it is bleeding
I come a long way come a long way
Come a long way just to say
That this heart of mine is torn
But it's still beating

-boom boom-

Ain't it a shame how everytime
The world comes rushing in on you
Comes squeezing through your open mind
Starts pushing you around
'round and'round the giant wheel
Keeps turning in your memory
Just when you were about to know
The words that could explain

I come a long way come a long way
Come a long way just to say
That i miss you i miss you
I wanna kiss you
I come a long way come a long way
Come a long way just to say
Hey hey beep beep hough!
I'm moving in

Boom boom chica boom boom chica boom boom
There's a devil singing in the yard of my heart
Sounds like treason
Boom boom chica boom boom chica boom boom
There's adevil dancing in the yard of my heart
And i forget the reasons


5.Ain't It Strange

Down in vineland
There's a clubhouse
Girl in white dress
Boy shoots white stuff
Don't you know
That anyone can join
And they come and call
And they fall on the floor
Don't you see
When you're looking at me
That i never end
Transcend transcend
Ain't it strange
Oohoohooh
Ain't it strange
Come and join me
I implore thee
I impure thee
Come explore me
Don't you know
That anyone can join
And they come and call
And they fall on the floor
Don't you see
When you're looking at me
That i never end
Transcend transcend
Ain't it strange
Oohoohooh
Ain't it strange
True, true
Who are you
Who, who am i
Lodadodadodadoda
Down in vineland
There's a clubhouse
Girl in white dress
Boy shoots white stuff
Don't you know
That anyone can join
And they come and call
And they fall on the floor
Don't you see
When you're looking at me
That i never end
Transcend transcend
Ain't it strange
Oohoohooh
Ain't it strange
Do you go to the temple tonight?
Oh no, i don think so no
Do you not go to the palace of answers with me, marie?
Oh no, i don't think so no
See, when they offer me books of gold
I know soon still that platinum's coming
And when i look inside of your temple
It looks just like the inside of the brain of any one man
And when he beckons his finger to me, well
I move in another direction
I move in another dimension
I move in another direction
Ohohoh strange


6.Pessoa 1934

Bem sei que estou endoidecendo
Bem sei que falha em mim quem sou
Sim, mas enquanto me nao rendo
Quero saber por onde vou

Inda que v?
Para render- me
Ao que o destino me faz ser
Quero um momento aqui deter - me
E descansar ?conhecer

Ha grandes lapsos de memia
Grandes paralelas perdidas
E muita lenda muita histia
Muitas vidas muitas vidas

Tudo isso; agora me perco de mim
E vou a transviar
Quer chamar a mim, e cerco
Meu ser de tudo relembrar

Ha grandes lapsos de memia
Grandes paralelas perdidas
E muita lenda muita histia
Muitas vidas muitas vidas


7.Jamais Jamais


8.A Waltz For Jane

There's a big house on the mountain
And a garden with a tree
There's a husband and some children
But they don't belong to me
There's a dirtroad to the valley
Where the horses can run free
And a mustang and a driver who can take us to the sea

There's a big heat on my balcony
And i feel lonely as can be
So i walk down to the market
Shady place
Through a crack upon the ceiling
We have just a scanty light
So it won't be too revealing
When i dance a waltz for jane
My waltz for jane

There's a big light
In a big sky
'pon a big dream
When it comes true
This town will never look the same
In a big sky
'pon a big dream
When it comes true
This town will never look the same

There's a big light in the sky
And i know why it shines on me
'cause my next step is forever
And my next turn sets me free
A waltz for jane
My waltz for jane

There's a big light
In a big sky
'pon a big dream
When it comes true
This town will never look the same
In a big sky
'pon a big dream
When it comes true
This town will never look the same


9.Rock'n'roll

I was born in the desert on the day of the dead
Ever since then it's been tears blood and sweat
I am a handsome young woman now, with a long way to go
And if i can not be fast, wll then i'll have to be slow
And i must not be sad, but happy and gay
Well, that's what the boss and everybody say
I must not be troubled by the doings and the done
And if i can not be slow, well then i can always run

Through the valley of death with the sun in my soul
Straight up from the bottom line to the hollywood bowl
And i shall fear no evil for i know the rule of the game
Well it 's
One for the money
Two for the show
Three to get ready
Rock'n'roll

I have travelled the world with not much left to see
But dead fish in the water and dead birds in the trees
I am a handsome young woman now with no place to stay
But if there is, it will be coming my way
And there always is beauty in every word
And if there is not it, must not be heard
Is there something disturbing, it must not be seen
And if i can not be good, well then i'll have to be mean

Through the valley of death with the sun in my eyes
From the one true word to a whole bunch of lies
And i shall fear no evil for i know the rule of the game
Well it 's
One for the money
Two for the show
Three to get ready
Rock'n'roll


10.In Heaven

In heaven everything is fine
In heaven everything is fine
In heaven everything is fine
You got your good things
And i got mine


11.Someone Sometime

Spoken:
Unforgettable - nothing is
Which may be a curse or may be a bliss
One or the other something it'll be
Someone sometime may look like me

Love is something
Love can pass
On to another someone (who) has
Had a much stronger will to hold
On to a something that grows cold
Unforgettable - nothing is
Which may be a curse or may be a bliss
One or the other something it'll be
Someone sometime may look like me

Time is something
Time can pass
And that comes close to all that it ever does
Throughout the year it possibly may
Make you a gift of the things gone astray
Love is something
Love can pass
On to another someone (who) has
Had a much stronger will to hold
On to a something that grows cold
Unforgettable - nothing is
Which may be a curse or may be a bliss
One or the other something it'll be
Someone sometime may look like me
Time is something
Time can pass
And that comes close to all that it ever does
Throughout the year it possibly may
Make you a gift of the things gone astray

Spoken:
Unforgettable - nothing is
Which may be a curse or may be a bliss
One or the other something it'll be
Someone sometime may look like me


12.Todos Contentos Y Yo Tambien

Sitting on top of a tree
Looking down on me - too blue
To be looking up to a dream of yours
A painting of a room with a million doors
The memory of a key in a sea of time
The keeper of the tree is no friend of mine
Falling down
I'm falling down

Sitting on top of the world
Looking down on you - too blue
To be looking up to a dream of mine
A painting of a shoe like a porcupine
A painting of a wood in the south of france
Standing by the edge of a new romance
I'm falling down
Isn't it true
On days that are blue
A light in the heart comes shining through
Todos contentos y yo tambien
There's a word on my lips
Spelled like: the end

Flying with the wings of a dove
Looking down on love - too blue
To be looking up to a dream of light
A painting of the world but far too bright
A picture of your luck that turned it's back
A crumpled paper plane has left it's track
Falling down
Sitting on top of a cloud
Looking down on me - too blue
To understand the point of that dream of mine
The painting of a shoe like a porcupine
The painting of a wood in the south of france
Standing by the edge of a new romance
Falling down
I'm falling down

Isn't it true
On days that are blue
A light in the heart comes shining through
Todos contentos y yo tambien
There's a word on my lips
Spelled like: the end
