1.With Wings
The crippled soul divides and the scars of years fly away
Like confetti on the desert wind.
Phoenix rises - proud young wings reflecting amber.
Solitary.
Untouchable.
Excited, and ready to search for his rose.
But the flight lasted so long
And those powerful wings grew weary as he padded through blind
alleys,
Swooped open-eyed into blind curves
And wasted night after lonely night trying to drink from a
mirage.
But no distraction could decimate the totality of belief,
And his number came up just when the weight of his despair had
him pinned to a rock;
When the feathers of his wings had been shed
And he stood naked before a disapassionate ocean of grey faces.
His precious twin. His rose.
Isolde dancing alone, then multiplying, inviting...so many many
levels.
And the crippled soul unites and prepares for the long journey
home
2.Phoenix
Hit 'rewind'. You sit surrounded by a frame, your laugh
infectious.
Hair in flames, your star was lonely but it lives.
And we don't have the time for tears. A step beyond.
Deep in the corner of my eye I swear I saw a curtain rise.
I can't be certain it could be that I'm just seeing what I want
to see.
But just who guides these hands when they're shaking with
frustration？
When scraping in the sand, who provides the inspiration？
And who whispers from outside when all seems desperation, 'Seize
the future...'
3.New Eden
My splintered stoned Medusa Lies in places by the mirror.
Snakes alive, but I die laughing on a chair.
I'm juggling apples, I feel the grass grow 'round my feet.
A perfumed candle plays the breeze that sweeps
From West to East
To me, to you.
Out here...in New Eden.
We've learned from our mistakes. This time around we'll make
things better.
I won't throw that stone - I'd rather send a letter.
If it seems we're being asked to leave,
Then I'll take you by the hand
And together we'll expand
From West to East.
From me. From you.
Out here in our New Eden.
4.Lament
Merciful angel,
You always been there
When it all got to painful
I was mad with despair
Lying down in the ruins
Tied with wires to this chair
You just point to new star
I follow you there
I follow anywhere
Follow you blind cause I trust you
Im willing, I'll bear
What I don't see won't hurt me
I'll follow you there
I'll follow anywhere
Calling you now
Cause it's worse than before
When I look to the sky
I see only a door
And it's black
And it's altered
And it's locked from inside
So I guess things have changed
You have something to hide
You've something to hide
You were The Way, and The Truth, and The Light
Thought you had all the answers
I follow you blind
You were The Way, and The Truth, and The Light
Thought you had all the answers
I follow you blind
Follow you blind cause I trust you
Im willing, I'll try
What I don't see won't hurt me
So give me a sign
Give me a sign
Give me a sign
Give me a sign
5.Coma
He'd seen her twice but not forgotten. She'd dabbed his head
with cotton wool and pulled the sheets up round his shoulders -
told him 'try to sleep, to dream...' He'd dream of her in white,
floating in the river, and he shivered as he swam to save her,
find it's just too late and he simply lost the will to live, to
love again. He had a fever... They laid him on a bed, and dead
of night she'd come again and dab his head with cotton wool,
pulled the sheets up round his shoulders. Told him, 'Try to
sleep, to dream...
6.You And Me And Rainbows
The Tear Garden
You're number eight
Your name is Jane
With black hair, braids
And black lines around your eyes
Shades to hide your habit
I don't know your age
Though you guessed mine
My sign, your sign
The opening line
Is always just the same
The same intention, destination
You and me and rainbows
Loaded guns attract
We know the rules, we don't react
We wait in hope, we don't expect
You and me and rainbows
Down here everything is fine
We have a straw, we have a line
We have a bag of rock hard mountains
With a string of shepherds driving lions
Aiming skewers at the sheep
Face down, asleep in onion fields
The frying fields, the worms
They peep through holes which once were eyes
They thrive
They bake although we painted out the sky
The sun
There's only thunder
And you and me and rainbows
Let's hide out in the lay-by
Let the time fly by tonight's disguise
A car crash with our wheels like shattered stars
Dashboard charred
Our windscreen like a graveyard for the flies
(We're fast)
The hungry flies are circling, mourning
As the watchers squat with cameras, cakes and flasks
They're spying
Spitting as the blue light flashes
Axes, axes, axes swing
(We're broken)
Broken wings
But sure we'll fly
And reach our destination
You and me and rainbows
And if we turn the lights down low
And watch the sky cry through the window
Will I watch your fingers grow
And stretch like butterflies？
The shadows flexing
Licking toes, and blinding as slowly
The sun sets on the same old hill
The same red glow
We're quite alone
Just you and me and rainbows
Everything I own is in the corner of your room
It's covered with a sheet just like it died
But I will take a broom
I'll sweep it new again, arrange it
Oh, I'll grow a dozen hands
No I never will neglect my world again
I'm safe beneath my blanket
Come home for you, for me and rainbows
Loaded guns attract
We know the rules, we don't react
We wait in hope we don't expect
Just you and me and rainbows
Looking down
7.Ophelia
The Tear Garden
Crawling through the minefield
We never saw the signs
The lightning flashes thunder claps
Is it just our dream, Ophelia？
Saw the dark clouds rolling
Scavengers revolving
As we made love on a log in the fog
Is it just our dream, Ophelia？
There was just a hint of searchlight
It illuminates
A pair of lonely souls locked together
Is it just our dream, Ophelia？
Trying hard to hide
To melt away but rolling for a gallery of eyes
Watching, waiting
Is it just our dream, Ophelia？
And love is blind
It cracks it's stick across our fingers
Makes us bleed, it makes us sick
Or is it just our dream, Ophelia？
Water's boiling but the need is strong and we have to swim
Let's find an island, find a log
That maybe we'll call home
Our home, Ophelia
Do you think that we can make it on our own？
Our dream, Ophelia
Our dream, Ophelia
