Sweet Things

I want a castle up in the sky
A pair of purple glasses over my eyes
I want to notice every brand new day
And see the gold in every shade of grey
Just bring on the sweet things
I want to come and see you every day
I’ll pick some flowers on my way
If you get hungry I'll make some bread
We’ll have a picnic by the riverbed
Bring on the sweet things
Don’t get me wrong
I’d rather sit here in the sun
Counting feathers on the ground
Everybody wants to see the light
Everybody wants to know what's right
Everybody wants to be in touch
To be the one who knows as much
Just bring on the sweet things

Too Quiet
03:24
|

|
Well, the road is winding through a barbed wire fence
The empty watch towers look down disgraced
The trees bow still in calamity
And the wind blows low in uncertainty
Above, the skies are a metal sheet
Wrapping in the disowned spirits in the street
A bottled cry for freedom sealed with fear
Sent in vain upon a sea of tears
It's too quiet on the east side of the wall
Green man, blue man, yellow too
Keep a close watchful eye on you
If you want to walk the alleys of this shanty town
You'd better keep your head six feet under ground
It's too quiet on the east side of the wall
Sitting in a room and waiting for the man to enter
Got my gear in pieces on the floor
And no one tells me what's going on
There's a certain Mr. A in the school machine
Who's tired of repeating what he doesn't mean
And the hollow faces in the shadow of the wall
Eye him in his dreams before they take their fall
It's too quiet on the east side of the wall

One at a Time
03:31

When you were young
There were hundreds of stars
Each pointing over a dream
You reached for them all
They were too far apart
And farther away than they seemed
One at a time
When you grew older
You made up a mind
And sailed on a hope laden ship
The journey seemed endless
Resources got scarce
The days each grew heavier still
One at a time
Hard as they come
They can always be conquered apart
One at a time
Now as you rest
And the top of the stairs
Seems farther than anything yet
You take a deep breath
And raising a foot
You follow the words in your head
One at a time

Every Single Night
03:19

It’s an itch you have and you cannot scratch
It’s a whim you chase and you cannot catch
It’s a riddle full of punctuation marks
It’s the question you forget to ask
And all the fire in the water
can’t bring about the light of day
And all the colors in the powder
can’t paint it any other way
Walk in your sleep
It’s a rule exception made to smooth the gap
It’s a crude deception meant to hide a trap
It’s an eye trickster; it’s a little white lie
Just a mind twister out of clear blue sky
And all the fire in the water
can’t bring about the light of day
And all the colors in the powder
can’t paint it any other way
Walk in your sleep
Follow your dreams
Be or don’t be
Every single night
Dancing with the shadows in the fire light
Man! Everything you hear at night
Just turns to something groovy
Every single night

Nightmare
00:42

Baby, it's a pity and nothing but a shame
Just love yourself a little
There'll be no one to blame
It's got to be a nightmare baby

Anybody
03:45

Does anybody know the way you feel?
Does anybody know what you conceal?
Does anybody notice?
Does anybody care at all?
Baby, it's a pity
And nothing but a shame
Just love yourself a little
There'll be no one to blame
It's got to be a nightmare baby
Can anybody get inside your head?
Can anybody hurt for you instead?
Can anybody alter?
Can anybody make it go away?
Can they ever fool your inner senses?
Baby, it's a pity
And nothing but a shame
Just love yourself a little
There'll be no one to blame
‘Cause everybody’s got a heart to please
And a mind to put at ease
And everybody loves somebody
Only for as long as the day is
Will anybody bother?
Will anybody follow you down
when you're taken by the undertow?
Sinking, sinking further low

My Favourite Star
04:47
|

|
The sun is shining in the mall
The birds are singing on the wall
The trees are flying all around
And spread the word to everyone
The sky is red the sea is green
The earth is blue upon my screen
It's not as real but it's so in
So, let the party now begin
Take me down to Montevideo
Let me see you catwalk in Rio now
You're my favorite star
The wind is blown the air is dried
The clouds have all been vaporized
There's nothing to stand in our way
We'll have this party anyway
Take me down to Montevideo
Let me see you catwalk in Rio now
You're my favorite star
There's nothing to it at all

Fallen Angel

Fallen angel
Lost to heaven for a haven
That is bound to let you down
Living fable
Left to wander with no wonder
Left to do for anyone
And all the people pass you by
Their eyes affixed upon the skies
In a hollow gaze
Always wishing something
And you wish to give the comfort
But you've nothing left to offer
But a smile
You've given it all and taken back naught
You've always been something they can't understand
Has anybody ever seen an angel in distress?
Wingless poet
Words are easy and sound pretty
Sung in prayer by everyone
Blind prophet
Can your pity smooth the gritty truth
and help the lost be found?
And all the people pass you by
Their tears are filling up the skies
With a constant rain
That is never falling
And they never take the time
To work the magic of the rhyme
Upon themselves
You've given it all and taken back naught
You've always been something they can't understand
Has anybody ever seen an angel in distress?
