Living In the World, Not on It

...winter! It is not merely snowing. There is a full fledged, dyed in the wool, ye gods style blizzard outside. It does, I admit, look quite beautiful. I really love how gorgeous it is outside. At the same time, I have the flu, so I am not really enjoying anything as much as I normally do. I suppose you could laugh (I prefer to laugh at myself than bitch about stuff) and say Luis is enjoying the peace and quiet of the house - I have no voice as usual. I prefer that to a sore throat and have no problem picking my fights. Christmas was good - well, Christmas Eve was good. I had a slightly scratchy throat all day but felt good, so I drove out to Long Island (specifically Queens) to see my mother's side of the family. I think that may be the first time I have ever made that pilgrimage completely on my own - Yes, isn't that weird? I always went with my parents, then Luis and I usually followed my parents, then it was myself and Luis. But Luis, who wasn't content with getting th...

My sense of avariciousness has not diminished any, it is just finding the time to do this! I like to make sure that every pertinent piece of information is there and the whole work and EMS thing really seems to eat up all of my time.

We walked in the cold air. Freezing breath on a window pane, Lying and waiting. The man in the dark in a picture frame, So mystic and soulful. A voice reaching out in a piercing cry, It stays with you until The feeling has gone only you and I. It means nothing to me. This means nothing to me. Oh Vienna,. The music is weaving Haunting notes, pizzicato strings, The rhythm is calling. Alone in the night as the daylight brings, A cool empty silence. The warmth of your hand and a cold grey sky, It fades to the distance. The image has gone only you and I. It means nothing to me. This means nothing to me. Oh, Vienna. This means nothing to me. This means nothing to me. Oh, Vienna. Ultravox, Vienna

Les r'ves des amoureux sont comme(e) le bon vin Ils donn(ent) de la joie ou bien du chagrin Affaibli par la faim je suis malheureux Volant en chemin tout ce que je peux Car rien n'est gratuit dans la vie L'espoir est un plat bien trop vite consomme A sauter les repas je suis habitu Un voleur solitaire est triste nourrir A un jeu si amer je n'peux r'ussir Car rien n'est gratuit dans La vie Jamais on ne me dira Que la course aux toiles; 'a n'est pas pour moi Laissez moi vous merveiller et prendre mon en vol Nous allons en fin nous r'galer La f't(e) va enfin commencer Sortez les bouteilles; finis les ennuis Je dresse la table, de ma nouvell(e) vie Je suis heureux l'id'e de ce nouveau destin Une vie me cacher et puis libre enfin Le festin est sur mon chemin Une vie me cacher et puis libre enfin Le festin est sur mon chemin English lyrics: Dreams are to lovers as wine is to friends Carried through lifetimes, (and) spilled now and then I am dri...

Des yeux qui font baiser les miens, Un rire qui se perd sur sa bouche, Voila le portrait sans retouche De l'homme auquel j'appartiens Quand il me prend dans ses bras Il me parle tout bas, Je vois la vie en rose. Il me dit des mots d'amour, Des mots de tous les jours, Et ca me fait quelque chose. Il est entre dans mon coeur Une part de bonheur Dont je connais la cause. C'est lui pour moi. Moi pour lui Dans la vie, Il me l'a dit, l'a jure pour la vie. Et des que je l'apercois Alors je sens en moi Mon coeur qui bat Des nuits d'amour a ne plus en finir Un grand bonheur qui prend sa place Des enuis des chagrins, des phases Heureux, heureux a en mourir. Quand il me prend dans ses bras Il me parle tout bas, Je vois la vie en rose. Il me dit des mots d'amour, Des mots de tous les jours, Et ca me fait quelque chose. Il est entre dans mon coeur Une part de bonheur Dont je connais la cause. C'est toi pour moi. Moi pour toi Dans la vie, Il me l'a dit, l...

...who would it be? We came home from watching another wonderful Pixar movie, "Tangled". It was great! And since I'm on call all night, I put on "Cars", another great Pixar movie. In the credits, I saw Joe Ranft's name, and remembered that he died. He died in 2005, during the production of "Cars". He was in a vehicle that crashed with one survivor and two dead. I love the Pixar movies. I have almost all of them. And Joe Ranft did story board art, production (director), voices, magic - you name it. I would have loved to have met him and thanked him for hours of entertainment. So for tonight - and maybe for every Thanksgiving - I'll watch Pixar movies to commemorate him. And to say thanks to his brother, Jerome Ranft, for the same. It must run in the family. I have on "Toy Story" now, the first Pixar movie. I have ten of twelve Pixar films - "Toy Story", "A Bug's Life", "Toy Story 2", "Monsters, In...

Over the valley I saw a silver cloud With a pink lining I said it right out loud There's no denying You are my one and only love And we'll see over the valley The moon rise above Over the valley This house among the trees Where we've been hiding Making our memories And I'm deciding You are my one and only love And we'll be over the valley As the moon shines above The autumn breezes carry all the bluebirds Down to where the sun still shines If we could hold this day In our hearts some way We would never roam Ever far from home Over the valley Just above the fray The sun is setting And when we're old and grey I'll still be betting You are my one and only love And over the valley The moon shines above The autumn breezes carry all the bluebirds Down to where the sun still shines If we could hold this day In our hearts some way We would never roam Ever far from home Over the valley Just above the fray The sun is setting And when we're old and grey I'll st...

The Samovara is full of tea You stare unblinkingly at me While your car waits in the freezing rain I know your soul calls Moscow home But your heart belongs to Rome So for years, I've followed you in vain But all, will you ever know what you are? Dosvedanya, mio bambino Dosvedanya, mio bambino There is a place where only you alone go There is a world that only you alone know Along an endless balcony Above the Adriatic Sea I try to storm the Kremlin of your heart In Florence, we were on the mend But that Mazurka had to end We missed the naked trees of Gorky Park But all, will you ever know what you've lost? Dosvedanya, mio bambino Dosvedanya, mio bambino There is a place where only you alone go There is a world that only you alone know But all, will you ever know what you have? Dosvedanya, mio bambino Dosvedanya, mio bambino There is a place where only you alone go There is a world that only you alone know I heard you finally settled down, in a warm Italian town So I took the tr...

Well the sun’s going down With its deep amber light Embracing the town as we fall into night To the silvery sound as the birds fly away Getting ready for love Getting out of the day It is the city of night It is the city if night Leave the worries of day behind And dream a new dream tonight All the lands are a glow All the lids painted red And you wish you could take That last thing you said Well the night is a drum Singing songs of delight But when dawn comes along Love is lost in the light But in the city of night Oh, in the city of night Leave the troubles of day behind And dream a new dream tonight Pink Martini, "Hey, Eugene!"

Lilly comes when you stop to call her Lilly runs when you look away Lilly leaves kisses on your collar Lilly, Lilly, Lilly, Lilly, stay! Lilly comes when you stop to call her Lilly runs when you look away Lilly leaves kisses on your collar Lilly, Lilly, Lilly, Lilly, stay! One day she passed him by A twinkle in her eye He said " she was meant for me!" But when he turned around He lost what he had found Oh where can his Lilly be? Lilly comes when you stop to call her Lilly runs when you look away Lilly leaves kisses on your collar Lilly, Lilly, Lilly, Lilly, stay! He searched the city streets He tempted her with treats But nobody stopped to taste them Some are in his pocket Some are in a locket He couldn't bring himself to waste them Ever since she's gone Some days he can't go on She ruined him for another Pressed up against the glass He prays that she will pass Now he's living with his mother Lilly comes when you stop to call her Lilly runs when you look away ...

Under Orion's starry sky I lie in the moonlit garden Wondering where to cast my eye For all that I see is heaven Oh why does it have to end? I wish we could still pretend You're near, just around the bend In the gardens of Sampson and Beasley Last time we were in this place Your face had a certain sadness And oh how I've wondered since What you've done with all that sadness Oh why did it have to end? I wish we could still pretend Our love was around the bend In the garden of Sampson and Beasley Under Orion's starry sky I lie in the moonlit garden Wondering when I close my eyes If I'll ever find my heaven Oh why will it never end? These days where I still pretend Our love just around the bend In the gardens of Sampson and Beasley Pink Martini, "Hang On, Little Tomato "

Viniste a mi Como poesia en la cancion Mostrandome Un nuevo mundo de pasion Amandome Sin egoismo y sin razon Mas sin saber Que era el amor Yo protegi mi corazon El sol se fue Y yo cantando tu cancion La soledad Se aduena de toda emocion Perdoname Si el miedo robo mi ilusion Viniste a mi No supe amar Y solo queda esta cancion Viniste a mi Como poesia en la cancion Mostrandome Un nuevo mundo de pasion Amandome Sin egoismo y sin razon Mas sin saber Que era el amor Yo protegi mi corazon El sol se fue Y yo cantando tu cancion La soledad Se aduena de toda emocion Perdoname Si el miedo robo mi ilusion Viniste a mi No supe amar Y solo queda esta cancion Pink Martini, Sympathique

November night, looking up into the sky, You said, "Hey, wish that was me up there-- It's the biggest rocket I could find, And it's holding the night in its arms If only for a moment. I can't see the look in its eyes, But I'm sure it must be laughing." But it seemed to me the saddest thing I'd ever seen, And I thought you were crazy, wishing such a thing. I saw only a stick on fire, Alone on its journey Home to the quickening ground, With no one there to catch it. I put on my pointed hat And my black and silver suit, And I check my gunpowder pack And I strap the stick on my back. And, dressed as a rocket on Waterloo Bridge-- Nobody seems to see me. Then, with the fuse in my hand, And now shooting into the night And still as a rocket, I land in the river. Was it me said you were crazy? I put on my cloudiest suit, Size 5 lightning boots, too. 'Cause I am a rocket On fire. Look at me go, with my tail on fire, With my tail on fire, On fire. Hey, look at me...

Out on the wiley, windy moors We'd roll and fall in green You had a temper, like my jealousy Too hot, too greedy How could you leave me? When I needed to possess you I hated you, I loved you too Bad dreams in the night They told me I was going to lose the fight Leave behind my wuthering, wuthering Wuthering Heights. (Chorus) Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy come home I'm so cold, let me in-a-your window Oh it gets dark, it gets lonely On the other side from you I pine alot, I find the lot Falls through without you I'm coming back love, cruel Heathcliff My only one dream, my only master Too long I roam in the night I'm coming back to his side to put it right I'm coming home to wuthering, wuthering Wuthering Heights (Chorus) Oh let me have it, let me grab your soul away Oh let me have it, let me grab your soul away You know it's me, Cathy (Chorus) Kate Bush, Kate Bush

No, I'll never give the hunt up, And I won't muck it up. Somehow, this was it, I knew, Maybe fate wants you dead too, We've come together in the very same room, And I'm coming for you. Did you think I'd ever let you, get away with it, huh? He swooned in a warm maroon. There's gas in your barrel, And I'm flooded with Doom. You've made a wake of our honeymoon, And I'm coming for you. All of the headlines said "Passion Crime", "Newly Weds, Groom Shot Dead, Mystery Man" God help the bride. She's a widow, all in Red, with his Red, still wet- She said (But she sure put him on the Wedding List) I'll put him on the Wedding List I'll get him on the the Wedding List I'll get him on and I will not miss. Now as I'm coming for you-All I see is Rudi, I die with him again and again, And I'll feel good in my revenge, I'll gonna fill your head with lead, And I'm coming for you.

You can't hear me You can't hear me You can't hear what I'm saying You can't hear what I'm saying to you. You watch the clock Move the slow hand I should have been home Hours ago - but I'm not here, but I'm not here, You can't hear me You can't hear me You can't feel me Here in the room with you now, You can't hear what I am saying, You don't hear what I am saying do you. Can't let you know What's been happening There's a ghost in our home Just watching you without me I'm not here, but I'm not here, but I'm not here. You can't hear me, you can't hear what I'm saying You didn't hear me come in You won't hear me leaving. Kate Bush, The Hounds of Love

 I was born I was born to be with you 
In this space and time 
After that and ever after I haven't had a clue 
Only to break rhyme This foolishness can leave a heart black and blue 

Only love, only love can leave such a mark
 But only love, only love can heal such a scar
 I was born I was born to sing for you 
I didn't have a choice but to lift you up And sing whatever song you wanted me to I give you back my voice From the womb my first cry, it was a joyful noise ... Only love, only love can leave such a mark 
But only love, only love can heal such a scar
 Justified till we die, you and I will magnify

There was a young farmer who lived on rock He liked to count sheep while he diddled his... Marbles and toys as in days of old yore And for a companion he had a young... Maiden whose passion was playing with dolls She told him she wanted to nuzzle his... Sweet violets, sweeter than the roses, Covered all over from head to toe, With sweet violets The farmer was pleas-ed with all of his luck She told him she'd show him a new way to... Bring up the children and teach them to knit While the boys in the barnyard were shoveling... Hay from the stables and filling the rick He told her he'd let her grab hold of his... Long middle finger that had a slight rash To sooth it he jammed into right into her... Sweet violets, sweeter than the roses, Covered all over from head to toe, With sweet violets The farmer then left her and went off to hunt He said, "While I'm gone, take good care of your..." Little pet rabbits which plays in the grass For when I get home, I will grab me so...

A man walked into a chandler's shoppe, some candles for to buy He looked around the chandler's shoppe, but no one did he spy Well, he was disappointed so some angry words he said When he heard the sound of a [pony ride], right above his head When he heard the sound of a [pony ride], right above his head Well, this young man was a bold young man, so up the stairs he sped And very surprised was he to find the chandler's wife in bed And with her was a fine young man of most incredible size And they were having a [pony ride] right before his eyes And they were having a [pony ride] right before his eyes When the fun was over and done and the lady raised her head, She was quite surprised to find him standing by the bed "If you would keep my secret sir, if you would be so kind, You may drop in for a [pony ride] whenever you feel inclined."

Sprawling on the fringes of the city In geometric order An insulated border In between the bright lights And the far unlit unknown Growing up it all seems so one-sided Opinions all provided The future pre-decided Detached and subdivided In the mass production zone Nowhere is the dreamer or the misfit so alone (Subdivisions) In the high school halls In the shopping malls Conform or be cast out (Subdivisions) In the basement bars In the backs of cars Be cool or be cast out Any escape might help to smooth the unattractive truth But the suburbs have no charms to soothe the restless dreams of youth Drawn like moths we drift into the city The timeless old attraction Cruising for the action Lit up like a firefly Just to feel the living night Some will sell their dreams for small desires Or lose the race to rats Get caught in ticking traps And start to dream of somewhere To relax their restless flight Somewhere out of a memory of lighted streets on quiet nights...

[Meatloaf:] I remember every little thing As if it happened only yesterday Parking by the lake And there was not another car in sight And I never had a girl Looking any better than you did And all the kids at school They were wishing they were me that night And now our bodies are oh so close and tight It never felt so good, it never felt so right And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife C'mon, hold on tight C'mon, hold on tight Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night I can see paradise by the dashboard light [Carla:] Ain't no doubt about it we were doubly blessed 'Cause we were barely seventeen And we were barely dressed [Both:] Ain't no doubt about it Baby got to go out and shout it Ain't no doubt about it We were doubly blessed [Meatloaf:] 'Cause we were barely seventeen And we were barely dressed Baby don'tcha hear my heart You got it drowing out the radio I've been wa...

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide, No escape from reality. Open your eyes, Look up to the skies and see, I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy, Because I'm easy come, easy go, Little high, little low, Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me. Mama just killed a man, Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he's dead. Mama, life had just begun, But now I've gone and thrown it all away. Mama, ooh, Didn't mean to make you cry, If I'm not back again this time tomorrow, Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters. Too late, my time has come, Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all the time. Goodbye, ev'rybody, I've got to go, Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth. Mama, ooh, I don't want to die, I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all. I see a little silhouetto of a man, Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango. Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very ...

Smoke is rising from the houses People burying their dead I ask somebody what the time is But time doesn't matter to them yet People talking without speaking Trying to take what they can get I ask you if you remember Prospekt, how could I forget? Drums, here it comes Don't you wish that life can be as simple As fish swimming round in a barrel? When you've got the gun Oh when I run, here it comes We're just two little figures in a soup bowl Trying to get to any kind of control But I wasn't one Now here I lie on my own in a separate sky Here I lie on my own in a separate sky I don't wanna die on my own here tonight But here I lie on my own in a separate sky Coldplay, Prospekt's March

Send a wish upon a star Do the work and you'll go far Send a wish upon a star Make a map and there you are Send a hope upon a wave A dying wish before the grave Send a hope upon a wave For all this souls you failed to save And you stood tall Now you will fall Don't break the spell Of a life spent trying to do well And you stood tall Now you will fall Don't break the spell Of a life spent trying to do well Send a question in the wind It's hard to know where to begin So send the question in the wind And give an answer to a friend Place your past into a book Put in everything you ever took Place your past into a book Burn the pages let them cook And you stood tall Now you will fall Don't break the spell Of a life spent trying to do well And you stood tall Now you will fall Don't break the spell Of a life spent trying to do well [Repeat chorus] Send a wish upon a star Send a wish upon a star Sia, Lullaby (last song in Episode 13 of The Big C)

I love watching CSI: Crime Scene Investigation . It's a great show, lots of interesting story lines, and it has gotten to have a lighter side. However, the latest show, which aired on 11/04, was really quite disturbing. Someone was cheerfully chopping up vegetables, a credit card and put an ear - a human ear - into the New England clam chowder. Umm... eeeiiiuuwwww? Seriously? Really? And - as if all of this wasn't gross enough - the cheerful chopper then feeds it to someone who is bound, missing his ear, and has his mouth clamped open to ingest his ear, credit card and... New England clam chowder. Where do they find this gem? In a huge container, you know, a truck container that contained a ton of shredded person along with garbage. Yum... So my question is, what came first? Did someone go traipsing through the gazillions of case files that police deal with to find this delightful little tale? Or did someone on the television writing crew come up with this? I think I'd feel...

I am the harm which you inflict. I am your brilliance and frustration. I'm the nuclear bombs if they're to hit. I am your immaturity and your indignance. I am your misfits and your praised. I am your doubt and your conviction. I am your charity and your rape. I am your grasping and expectation. I see you averting your glances. I see you cheering on the war. I see you ignoring your children, And I love you still. And I love you still. I am your joy and your regret. I am your fury and your elation. I am your yearning and your sweat. I am your faithless and your religion. I see you altering history. I see you abusing the land. I see you, your selective amnesia, And I love you still. And I love you still. Haaaaaaaaahh I see you averting your glances. I see you cheering on the war. I see you ignoring your children, And I love you still. And I love you still. I see you altering history.

I concede that you were right about this place I can make a perfect likeness of your body if I trace I can hold you until you turn out the light and I can't see Do you believe that we are all innately good Do you think that you would love me until tomorrow if you could Would you please turn down the radio so we can speak I put my hands around your neck and you wrap your arms around me Put my hands around your neck and you wrap your arms around me I put my hands around your neck and you wrap your arms around me I regret every time I raised my voice And it wouldn't be that bright of me to say I had no choice. I can kiss your eyes your hair your neck until we forget I concede that you were right about this place I can make a perfect likeness of your body if I trace I can hold you until we turn out the light and I can't see I can't see By Barenaked Ladies

The sea it swells like a sore head and the night it is aching Two lovers lie with no sheets on their bed And the day it is breaking On rainy days we'd go swimming out On rainy days swimming in the sound On rainy days we'd go swimming out You're in my mind all of the time I know that's not enough If the sky can crack there must be someway back For love and only love Electrical Storm Electrical Storm Baby don't cry Car alarm won't let you back to sleep You're kept awake dreaming someone else's dream Coffee is cold but it'll get you through Compromise that's nothing new to you. Let's see colours that have never been seen Let's go places no one else has been You're in my mind all of the time I know that's not enough Well if the sky can crack there must be someway back To love and only love Electrical storm Baby don't cry It's hot as hell, honey in this room Sure hope the weather will break soon The air is heavy, heavy as a tru...

I shoot it low, kill the flow Ruin myself out on the north shore I make it one, watch the sun Sink behind the trees with the keys to the kingdom I shoot it high, let it fly Bury myself under a blue sky I see a scheme, make it clean Drown in blue rivers under a muffled scream Call your number wishing I could make amends And I'm caught in a space between my head and my face again I hit it down, kill the sound Ruin myself out on the northbound I make it one, kill the sun Bury my disease with the keys to the kingdom Call your number wishing I could make amends And I'm caught in a space between my head and my face again I shoot it low - Shoot. it. low Kill the flow - Kill. the. flow Ruin myself out on the north shore Call your number wishing I could make amends And I'm caught in a space between my head and my face again Call your number wishing I could make amends And I'm caught in a space between my head and my face again by U.N.K.L.E.

There are missing lyrics in Persian, but I'll find 'em... Favored son Turn in the garden Shades of one Sins forgotten Favored signs to find hope In the rounds of life Favored rhymes to find hope In the sands of life Favored son Fence in your heart Saviored son Sins forgotten

I sat within the valley green I sat me with my true love. My sad heart strove the two between The old love and the new love. The old for her the new That made me think on Ireland dearly. While the soft wind blew down the glade and shook the golden barley. T'was hard the woeful words to frame To break the ties that bound us. But harder still to bear the shame of foreign chains around us. And so I said the mountain glen I'll meet at morning early. And I'll join the bold united men While soft winds shook the barley. T'was sad I kissed away her tears My fond arm round her flinging. When a foe, man's shot burst on our ears From out the wild woods ringing. A bullet pierced my true love's side In life's young spring so early. And on my breast in blood she died While soft winds shook the barley. But blood for blood without remorse I've ta'en at oulart hollow. I've lain my true love's clay like corpse Where I full soon must follow. Around her grave I...

I thought that you knew it all Well you've seen it ten times before. I thought that you had it down With both your feet on the ground. I love slow...slow but deep. Feigned affections wash over me. Dream on my dear And renounce temporal obligations. Dream on my dear It's a sleep from which you may not awaken. You build me up then you knock me down. You play the fool while I play the clown. We keep time to the beat of an old slave drum. You raise my hopes then you raise the odds You tell me that I dream too much Now I'm serving time in disillusionment. I don't believe you anymore...I don't believe you. I thought that I knew it all I'd seen all the signs before. I thought that you were the one In darkness my heart was won. You build me up then you knock me down. You play the fool while I play the clown. We keep time to the beat of an old slave drum. You raise my hopes then you raise the odds You tell me that I dream too much Now I'm serving time in a domestic g...

You saw sagacious Solomon You know what came of him, To him complexities seemed plain. He cursed the hour that gave birth to him And saw that everything was vain. How great and wise was Solomon. The world however did not wait But soon observed what followed on. It's wisdom that had brought him to this state. How fortunate the man with none. You saw courageous Caesar next You know what he became. They deified him in his life Then had him murdered just the same. And as they raised the fatal knife How loud he cried: you too my son! The world however did not wait But soon observed what followed on. It's courage that had brought him to that state. How fortunate the man with none. You heard of honest Socrates The man who never lied: They weren't so grateful as you'd think Instead the rulers fixed to have him tried And handed him the poisoned drink. How honest was the people's noble son. The world however did not wait But soon observed what followed on. It's honesty th...

Then there was rain The sky wore a veil of gold and green Night is the bride of a lonely day Time just floated Then there was rain The sound foundations are crumbling To the ground comes a pyramid tumbling Time just floated away We can watch it and stay And we can listen Oh rainy day come around Sometimes I just want it to slow down And we're separated now And oh but I love when you come over to the house I love it when you come over to my house Then there was rain I spent the night with the queen of Spain My lonely little heart well it broke again Time so vicious The deeper that the knife goes in The more you win You end up with less than where you begin The deeper that the knife goes in Oh rainy day come round Sometimes I just want it to slow down We're separated now And oh but I love it when you come over to the house I love it when you come over to my house And I love it when you come over to the house I love it when you come over to my house I love it when you come over to...

Scared of losing all the time He wrote it in a letter He was a friend of mine He heard you could see your future Inside a glass of water The ripples and the rhymes He asked Will I see heaven in mine? That is just the way it was Nothing could be better And nothing ever was Oh they say you could see your future, Inside a glass of water With riddles and the rhymes Will I see heaven in mine? Oh Oh Oh Ah Son, don't ask, Neither how full nor empty is your glass Cling to the mast Spend your whole life living in the past Going nowhere fast So he wrote it on the wall The hollowest of halos Is no halo at all Televisions said and past In figurines and leaders saying nothing at all And he chimed stars in heaven aligned Oh Oh Oh Ah Son, don't ask, Neither how full nor empty is your glass Cling to the mast Spend your whole life living in the past Going nowhere fast What are we drinking when were done? Glasses of water...

I used to rule the world Seas would rise when I gave the word Now in the morning I sleep alone Sweep the streets I used to own I used to roll the dice Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes Listen as the crowd would sing "Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!" One minute I held the key Next the walls were closed on me And I discovered that my castles stand Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing Roman Cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror, my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can't explain Once you go there was never Never an honest word And that was when I ruled the world It was the wicked and wild wind Blew down the doors to let me in Shattered windows and the sound of drums People couldn't believe what I'd become Revolutionaries wait For my head on a silver plate Just a puppet on a lonely string Oh who would ever want to be king? I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing Roman Cavalry choi...

How long before I get in? Before it starts, before I begin? How long before you decide? Before I know what it feels like? Where To, where do I go? If you never try, then you'll never know. How long do I have to climb, Up on the side of this mountain of mine? Look up, I look up at night, Planets are moving at the speed of light. Climb up, up in the trees, every chance that you get, is a chance you seize. How long am I gonna stand, with my head stuck under the sand? I'll start before I can stop, before I see things the right way up. All that noise, and all that sound, All those places I got found. And birds go flying at the speed of sound, to show you how it all began. Birds came flying from the underground, if you could see it then you'd understand? Ideas that you'll never find, All the inventors could never design. The buildings that you put up, Japan and China all lit up. The sign that I couldn't read, or a light that I couldn't see, some things you have to bel...

Oh brother I can't, I can't get through I've been trying hard to reach you, cause I don't know what to do Oh brother I can't believe it's true I'm so scared about the future and I wanna talk to you Oh I wanna talk to you You can take a picture of something you see In the future where will I be? You can climb a ladder up to the sun Or write a song nobody has sung Or do something that's never been done Are you lost or incomplete? Do you feel like a puzzle, you can't find your missing piece? Tell me how do you feel? Well I feel like they're talking in a language I don't speak And they're talking it to me So you take a picture of something you see In the future where will I be? You can climb a ladder up to the sun Or a write a song nobody has sung Or do something that's never been done Do something that's never been done So you don't know were you're going, and you wanna talk And you feel like you're going where you've...

When I was a young boy I tried to listen And I wanna feel like that Little white shadows, blink and miss them Part of a system I am If you ever feel like something's missing? Things you'll never understand Little white shadows, sparkle and glisten Part of a system plan All this noise, I'm waking up All the space I'm taking up All this sound is breaking up Ohhhh... Maybe you get what you wanted Maybe you stumbled upon it Everything you ever wanted In a permanent state Maybe you'll know when you see it Maybe if you say it, you'll mean it And when you find it, you keep it In a permanent state A permanent state When I was a young boy I tried to listen Don't you wanna feel like that? We're part of the human race and All of the stars and the outer space We're part of the system plan All this noise, I'm waking up And all the space, I'm taking up I said I cannot hear you, you're breaking up Maybe you get what you wanted Maybe you stumbled upon it...
