In a room dripping with colors and things too dark to see,
Hitting my chest like the drop of all attention without trying to impress me,
You're the silent artist in the corner playing.
People talk right in my ear, but you're the only one I see.
I can feel when you play and now the only thing I think of is
Staying close to you. Now I can't do a thing but:
oooo oooo oooo OOOO OOOO
oooo oooo OOOO OOOO
oooo oooo oooo OOOO OOOO
oooo oooo OOOO OOOO
oooo oooo oooo OOOO OOOO
oooo oooo OOOO OOOO
In this kaleidoscopic box filled with dripping beads, bodies lean,
Stretching to be close to other feet.
Leaping, dancing, dripping over me,
But I stay fixated on you,
While agitated sipping sends them into blankness.
I can feel when you play and now the only thing I think of is,
I love when you look up at me and I really don't get what's wrong with them.
It's like another realm; his music moves me.
Does he care that I groove to it?
oooo oooo oooo OOOO OOOO
oooo oooo OOOO OOOO
oooo oooo oooo OOOO OOOO
oooo oooo OOOO OOOO
oooo oooo oooo OOOO OOOO
oooo oooo OOOO OOOO
la ah ah ahhh I neeeeeeed it.
I can feel when you play. Now the only thing I think of is:
I can feel when you play. Now the only thing I think of is:
I can feel when you play. Now the only thing I think of is:
I can feel when you play. Now nothing else could make me do this:
oooo oooo oooo OOOO OOOO
oooo oooo OOOO OOOO
oooo oooo oooo OOOO OOOO
oooo oooo OOOO OOOO
oooo oooo oooo OOOO OOOO
oooo oooo OOOO OOOO

Charlie, one day I'll wake up and she'll be gone.
Charlie oh tell me, you look so sleepy.
Kind of like me.
Sleepy oh close your eyes.
Come here darling, I hope that one day I won't wake up and I,
I didn't even think of her. I didn't even think of him.
What a long, long time.
Why didn't I even think of them? I was stressed and...what a mess then...
I don't want to.
Can't let it take me.
Don't come near me.
Scream in your face.
Don't come near me.
Scream in your face.
I don't want to.
Can't let it take me.
Don't come near me.
Don't.
Everybody's living it, so why can't I quit it?
Don't let it take you.

Only Enhancer
03:58
|

You don't love romance.
You don't love to dance.
You don't seem to answer when I don't wear pants.
The pathway to your kingdom is darkened, musty and glum.
If only you could see some peace aside from your prison.
At a glance you're picking at all your wounds.
So perchance, boy, you're all you have to lose.
At a glance now you seem like you could need me.
But entranced am I to think that could be.
This feeling's in demand, so would you be so grand as to
Instinctively take my hand and put me in your hypnotic trance.
React to me, a glance of desire... you used to be my only enhancer.

In the Gazebo
05:30
|
|||
|
Okaying away the uneasiness won't make it true.
Please don't punish me. At least I am still searching for clues.
It's not that I didn't know what to do with this oppressive sort of blue.
But I know that I've a thick list full of things to do and I see you have none. Not even one.
But I'll be there with the captain in the gazebo
And you'll be caught on the other side of the bridge.
You'll point out my inadequacies through the glass.
I'm wondering how many other dreams you have killed.
I just had a thought that your past must be unfulfilled.
I can feel you looming in my head; I hear laughing from the dead.
But I live. I'm here. And it is all that I can do to keep from running like a fool... I don't want to.
So I'll be there with the captain in the gazebo.
The captain comes and he goes so very fast.
I feel your loathsome presence beating through the glass.
I look around and see this place is gone; this place was all I had.
Dragging me on down won't define my circumstance.
I'd like to find love. But you'll tell me I made him up.
Can't he hold me closer?
I'm caving in; alright you win; revel in it.

Sexy Lexy
03:37
|

|
It's one o'clock right on the dot,
I'd better blow the candles out.
The girls will all be waiting in the lot.
See I've been looking forward to this time alone.
Yeah, the night has begun and Gould is jumping the gun.
I feel like we're escapees running to the nearest town,
I see a copper drive by, but Dickey's always calm as night.
I feel my head and there's this crazy halo braid,
I'm the angel chauffeur and this is my heaven.
Still just be sure to keep the windows closed,
I can feel you through my fingers and toes,
We're learning all these things we've never known.
You've been so kind to me.
You can lose your hats and scarves it's getting warmer now.
I've gotta hand it to you; you cause me the most déjà vu.
For all the things you say I wonder where you've lived,
In an avocado forest with a fast talkin' ramblin' man?
Still just be sure to keep the windows closed,
I can feel you through my fingers and toes,
We're learning all these things we've never known,
You've been so kind to me.
The sun is tangled up in my hair,
And the silver woman watches us.
It's a polygamatic love affair.
But what if I had to lose this?
When my girls go away...
Those lovers...
I can't be with them anyway.
And should I ask them to stay would my conscience tell me to stop?
It's one o'clock right on the dot,
We're dancing on the deadly brink.
Why am I always spoiling the plot?

Man From the Past
04:43
|
|||
|
I feel deceit fooling all my senses.
My stocking feet slowly tiptoe from the present.
My voice is weak, my mind's a stranger to me.
This feels like a dream, the kind where you can't see a thing.
Whispers in the wind, branches on the shutters,
I smell burning cherry wood from underneath my covers.
Peaking through the sheets I think I finally can see,
Translucent as the moonlight, a figure drawing near to me.
The look he gave me pierced my eyes and my whole body through.
His mood wasn't brusque or brisk; how uncommon for a modern man!
Without a single world said, the thought just came into my head.
He's from another time...
I'm in love with a man from the past.
I'm in love with a man from the past.
I'm in love with a man from the past.
I'm in love with the past.
No one can convince me that he isn't here I see him right in front of me.
Dripping candles burning, I am not concerned with thoughts of where I should be.
All I need is him now, we are locked away in a hidden room in the east wing.
I'm in love with the past.
It all comes down to this.
He is not my captor.
I go with him willingly; I've never been an actor.
He hears me say, "my past is fading away..."
The eyes of the man from the past, they seem to agree with me.

Stratopause
03:44
|
|||
|
Search me baby, I've got nothing on you.
Under my skin are nerves waiting for their cue.
I take responsibility for rotting plans...rotting ideas.
I'm caught up in marveling at your mind.
Mine does whisper in comforting lemon rinds.
Sleep has been acquired but rest not achieved.
Stratopause takes me.
Indecisive mind
That you can't define
Looking back in time
I was so refined.
There's nobody next to me to alter my route.
Then stress appears on my face, let's everyone think
Potentially psychotic or self-conflicting realities exist in the brain.
Diagnosis constitutes mal distress.
I'm very aware I just tried to dot an "s"
Baby, your tumultuousness can rest easy.
I am your lady.

Taking Bloom
03:19
|
|||
|
Traveling finding that some things cannot be passed by; too true to ignore.
When two roots meet there is no denying: the heart has never burned like this.
Wouldn't guess so soon that the roots became entwined.
She couldn't be without him nor the bird without the pine.
Taking bloom...sailing through time.
Fire. Water. The flame in his heart is alive. She dances in his soul.
I know that you will love her...and that she will love.
He flew like Pan to the top of her tree.
She whispered to him, "It's all clear to me."
Yes, I do believe in fairies. You're the one who taught me how to believe.
I know that you will love her, and that she will love.
I know that you will love her, and that she will love.

Transfixed
03:42
|
|||
|
I plucked the yarrow right out of the ground.
I didn't expect to find it in the wild.
Fleeting are my thoughts and gone are their worth.
I should have asked him first.
I rush too much but only I can calm me down.
I touch too much for gorgeous flesh is all around.
He faces the south and I the west.
Smoking walls of sage to purify my chamber.
He can tell I tossed the 36th. And the light fades from the candlesticks...
while I stand here transfixed.
The waning of the light has reached its peak.
I know it's coming for me.
He brought me where I started.

Bound
03:02
|
|||
|
She came in so discreetly, but I could still hear her pouring her tea.
I'm urging her to make the best of it, but I know that it still hurts her.
Brush your heart against mine.
Time moves slowly so we can see.
The modern crisis has become taking care of yourself.
She need not try and prove anything.
Come and rest against me.
Let's let love be a dying fear.
Let's let love be a fear. Fear. Fear.
Don't let love be a fear. Fear. Fear.
(Don't let love be, don't let love be dying)
When we rush to the sea
No we won't make a sound.
