A SULLEN SKY >>>

i've got myself all wrapped together
the only way i know how
not too tight and a little loose
the only way i know how
don't let let the sky fall in my hair
and i wonder within
what makes the breakers in the sky
who tells the tide to come in

please don't disturb this finest hour
in its most perfect form
don't scare the dancing clouds
or they shall cease to perform

there they go into the distance
i know it won't be long now
i'd like to catch and keep one
if i only knew how
if i only knew how
if I only knew how
if i only knew how

SWING >>>

We could do with going anywhere
somewhere that we could swing
I could do with going anytime
as long as I could swing
sometimes I see almost everywhere
the prostitution of talents
but I'm so busy trying to bury this
everyone has been stripped
everyone has been stripped

now stripped and starved of stature
but still must suckle the young
I can not impose upon myself
or even get a grip on my tongue
or even get a grip on my tongue
i don't have to hold my tongue

we have lost and can not renew
that which I care for and regard
regarded as the most precious thing
we've lost the reason to swing
we've lost the reason to swing

SOMETIME, SOMETHING >>>

How can I have everything and still feel so alone
Have so many pretty girls and still feel on my own
I have everything that I need except the spice of life
Can't you help me find my way
In this pain and strife

I have climbed my highest mountain
And got stuck in this hole
I have paid the price with my friends
Success has took it's toll

I have everything that I need except the spice of life
Can't you help me find my way
In this pain and strife

This pain and strife
This pain and strife
This pain and strife

The spice of life

This pain and strife

OFF PALE YELLOW >>>

Can you still be young tomorrow
or will you do some thinking first
your mouth overflows
it overflows
and yet you're dying of thirst

Now I catch only small pieces
from a deaf and tattered mind
you see no reason for concern
so I must leave you

Can I put the words in for you
like when we used to converse
you seemed much older than your face
a vision of colourful verse

Shall we take a look at the bright side
can I take it you'll be there
I can't remember all that I want to
but you seemed younger when you were there

Now I catch only small pieces
of a deaf and tattered mind
you see no reason for concern
so I must leave you
leave you blind

LICKING ONE'S WOUNDS >>>

I don't mean to ignore you
or dislike or deplore you
and I guess I'm still a so-called friend
but times and people change

and I find it kind of strange
to hang around when the party is done

I'll gather up my thoughts
forget the times we fought
and I'll see you when the sun is in your eyes
you've never been a burden
and I know it's kind of sudden
and I know I've sprung a sweet surprise

but times and people change

and I find it kind of strange
to hang around when the party is done

I've really got to go now
so I think that you should know now
it's the burden of an unhealthy past
so gather up my thoughts
forget the times we fought
I'll see you when the sun is in your eyes
I'll see you when the sun is in your eyes

GIVEN TO DREAMING >>>

Just between us and ourselves
have I fallen from grace
in want to go where all kids go
go to my nameless place

Where lonely birds can really fly
like poetry in motion
where only the highest waterfalls
come diving into the ocean
diving into the ocean

I know I kneel by nearby ponds
but never stay too long
but never is a long long time
again I could be wrong

all I need is a little push
in birth I could immerse
into my lake of understanding
where I drown in reverse

ETERNITY ROAD 12" MIX >>>

I could be frequently picked and was I ever
I could say beautiful things yet I was not so clever
I doubt if I had ever been
a young thing with a sad face
I had my own natural wit
the sad thing was that I meant it

I took this more or less
as my personal load
my very own to struggle with
down eternity road
as far as I know I was the first and I was somehow the only
as far as I know I won't be the last
it's better to be lonely

WHERE I LAY, I'LL LIE >>>

That branch that reaches out to beg
Struck me lightly with little noise
Called up mental images of
When I went crashing to the floor

A strange thing suddenly struck me
And took the wraps from a perfect day
That if i had seen myself lying there
I would have left me where I lay

Who it was or how it happened
Would never have entered my tiny mind
So maybe I've found or maybe I've learned
But what I've learned is never easy to find

PERMANENT SLEEP >>>

I bent over backwards, broke my neck
And I stood up quick, then I hit the deck
I get up slow, you stop and smile
Then I smile back and you run a mile
So then we take a backwards step
And then you forgive me but never forget
You cut! You cut!!
You cut me deep for permanent sleep

I gave to you years of life
Then I turn my back and you use your knife
You gave to me your pains and tears
They went through my head like foreign spears
You gave to me your pains and tears
You cut! You cut!!
You cut me deep for permanent sleep
I hated it..!!!!

I bent over backwards and broke my neck
And I stood up quick
I get up slow, you stop and smile
Then I smile back
I'll say my peace then I'll be gone
The sun of a dark love, the sun that you shun
You cut! You cut!!
You cut me deep!
