Go, light a fire¿
And sing what you desire!

'I desire a good life'

Gotta have a good good life¿
(Gotta have a good good life)

Her hair's like the burning sands
You'll give her your heart in hand
Her beauty's beyond compare, but woe to those who've seen her

Time has come for you to feel your life

Got a little doggie and he's full of the woof woof!

Shine on the Borderlands!
She shines like the galaxy, but woe to all who fear this

Gotta have a good good life¿
(Gotta have a good good life)

So far!
So far!
So far, everything!
So far, everything!
So, follow everything
(Men will be men)
So, follow everything
(Men will be men)
So, follow everything
(Men will be men)
So, follow everything
(Men will be men)

Men will be men!

She said, 'Touch me.'

I wanna wake up where you rise
I want to take you to the light
With all their frantic run around
And all they want is to be found

I wanna wake up where you rise
So long eternal paradise¿
Two other worlds which w were bound

¿Now they are dust upon the ground

Life¿ it's tragic
It's life¿ it's tragic

It's life! It's magic!
It's life! It's madness!
It's life!
It's life!

There's a sign on the Borderlands!
It says, 'Shine like the galaxy and woe to all who fear this.'

Sign on the Borderlands!
It says, 'Shine like the galaxy although no one will hear this.'

Sign on the Borderlands!
It says, 'Shine like the galaxy and woe to all.'

Evermore
I am, I am, I
I will return always
I am, I am, I I will return always

I am reminded now of all the years gone by
No use in crying now, it's time to say goodbye

Turn the page on all we are
Always searching
Turn the page on all we were
Always searching...
Always searching¿

All now be as one!

Hey, my dear the way you must feel, the weight of this life is twisting your mind
Cage my fear Elektra is here, the truth of your mind and the words of the vine
'Cause I wish you would get it right too, so we pray to the gods 'cause it's time you arrived

I am, I am, I
I will return always
I am, I am, I I will return always

'Follow emotions? Dumb.'

Slowly we grow the second wave, but the northern people like it cold.

So, raise your glasses to the underworld! (See ya!)

What are we doing tonight?

Watching universes collide!

Hey, my dear the way you must feel, the weight of this life is twisting your mind
I hope you will show me right through the prayer from the goddess of infinite light
And I won't wait or fear the mistakes we learned in our youth now it's time to arrive

I must learn from this reality if I intend to awake
Though I travel to the infinite, I will return always!

I am, I am, I
I will return always
I am, I am, I will return always

War
in the morning 'bout three or so
can't stop thinking about what i know
in the morning 'bout three or so
can't stop thinking of the universe

i keep rocking, i keep rolling
trade in the minute for a minute that isn't there
keep dropping, keep rolling
put out the fire with the water
thinking creosote

in the morning with a beat up bud i know 
i can't fight a war without losing blood

in the morning 'bout three or so,
can't stop seeking what i need to know
god is in the mountain as is in the rock
and god is not concerned about keeping stock

so keep rocking, keep rolling
trade in the minute for a minute that isn't there,
keep dropping, keep rolling, 
put out the fire with the water
thinking creosote

all he ever wanted was to be alone
but you can't feel love without being loved!!

(can't fight a war without losing blood) 
(blood blood blood)
and all we ever wanted was love,
love! (doo wop boddum doo wapideewapideewapidee doo)
we can see the enemy, they say
hey! we don't want your war!
it's quite nice, white light, it's quite, it's quite extraordinary!
window! it's a window! it's white! it's quite quite
god, quiet! just a little bit of quiet please!

just stop the noise for once please!!

Sprite
Once upon a time, in a tiny little town in a tiny little house, where no one came around,
There lived a bird who was just so sad
For this little bird didn't have a mom or a dad
He had forgotten how to fly, and he had lost the will to try
Until one day a bear came around, and the bird heard its terrible sound
And through his fear, his courage did appear
He lifted once more from the ground.

Show me through your animal heart, and not through your mind
You and I can't find our 'one'
Throws me naked into the eternal¿ don't go now¿

You and I run...

In a world that's so inviting
Find your own sanctuary and play along

Show me to the fundamental tenet, hard times have come to return
You and I can't find our 'one'

Everybody, everyone in a world that's subdivided
Hold your own ceremony, and carry on¿

Soul: Soul and the body are broken-hearted
So: Sons and your daughters are broken-hearted
But know: Only the body is broken, hardened

Show me to the hear that's in your mind

Show me through your animal heart, and not through your mind!
(You and I can't find our one)

In a world that's self-divided
You count your hopes, face the morning, and pray along

Think of everyone you know, everyone is broken
Take a look around, everyone is sad

Monsters and robots are broken-hearted
Octopus lovers are broken-hearted
Dad in the garden, all broken-hearted¿

Thank you for the morning and the light
But more than this: Thank you for keeping trying
Slow progress is still progress!

Hold the world in your heart
I'm so afraid to say anything now¿
Hold the world in your heart
I won't let you fall

Coast
the way it goes, is the way it goes.
i'm all right to go
so go...
...you go.
they took their things and headed for the coast
denied of all in life they needed most
loves forgotten child
born into the wild
come to the coast, come to the coast, come to the coast
come to the coast it will find you...
the fallout from the california glow
toronto's frozen over this every man should know
i've forgotten now
won't you show me how?

so run away, so run away from here.
just run away, just run away my dear...
'cause love's forgotten child...
so go into the wild
...come.
somebody took me away...something controls me...

Heavens End
space is the word
sign of god...
it's over all that you see
...but it cannot rescue me
sink in the void
of how it went down...
you'll know through all that you'll see
...and you'll know your enemy
space is the word.

auto macai
tie it in bounds
over all that we know,
is chaos moving slow...
drinking the wine
...howling it down
corroding all thats still,
my fate and your free will

...i've made some preparations...
(are you ready?)
...but i'm older now ...

Deadhead
You are a sun Goddess
Will you save me?
Hooray for you.
Hooray.
Now the rain it comes, the rain it blurs the grey line
?the grey line?the Greyhound home
You are so vicious (Hurt me, I can take it)
Cause it?s all in the heat of the moment,
It?s all in the pain
Sonar, sonar again?
It?s on again, (got no wings?gossamer wings?) ?on again?
You are a sun Goddess!!!
Will you save me? ?babe?babe?babe?
Cause it?s all in the heat of the moment
It?s all in the pain!!!
So give in to the heat of the moment
Give in to the pain!!!

Why?
Darling are you feeling alright? You look rather pale...
And all our friends are, all our friends are watching us

(I wanna go home)

But why run away?

Why, why, why?

Darling are you seeing inside? The wolves are alive
And all our faith is, all our faith is wrong

Let me go home!

But why run away?
Why, why, why?

And all we're feeling slowly comes unravelled
And all we're fearing, comes to pull us under

So why run away?
Why, why, why?

Say 'Yes': I'm alive
Say 'No': I'm alive
Say 'Yes': I'm alive
Say 'No': I'm alive

So, we feel so irrelevant, we're rolling televised
Our pride will bolt us to the ground
And the Earth itself will swallow us whole

We can't think for those who'll suffer

Darling, are you feeling alright?
Take a look at your fear
And all our fate is, all are faith in all!

But why run away?
Why?
When we can just walk away...

Why, why why?

Castaway/Genesis
Castaway
Tonight when the soul keeps silent
Say a prayer for the beloved end
Is only heaven a game in vain? We pray for it all¿

Your time lies in light divine though the 'never' stains the ivory
If joy remains then the pain must stay, surrender it all

Receive this love
Receive this love
					
Genesis
If you're saying in your mind: 'You're better off dead'
Well before the madness comes to claim your name

A million years would go by

(Tell us a story): What could I say? What should I say?
It took all my words and my fantasy worlds and at the heart of all there was nothing

How they meet their maker is their right while they're alive
So, it's beautiful!

Let there be light
Let there be moon
Let there be stars and let there be you
Let there be monsters, let there be pain
Let us begin to live again

From the top to the bottom: Genesis

I: beyond the universe, I: beyond the mind

All the world is in this together
Feel no fear, we're fearless forever

So why can't we just sail away?!?

Because you're so in love with this island of the mind

Know this here island is home.

You've got to get on your feet again (Genesis)
Get on your feet again!

But without your 'self,' what'll become of you?

(Take your leave now, shut up..shut up)

Please don't take me from our youth

(Take your leave now, shut up..shut up)

When we're apart, we fall,
Together we feed the world

So, let there be light
Let there be moon
Let there be stars and let there be you
Let there be monsters, let there be pain

Let us begin to feel again!

From the top to the bottom: Genesis

Spirits Will Collide
So they say,
You'll be OK
But words are not enough

Nobody remembered me
The words were not enough,

Calm yourself down
Don't you remember when we were young?
Don't you remember who I am? You're strong enough!

Dues to pay
Towards the way
Towards my friend, towards
Two must play
The foolish game
To war my friend to war!

So they rise: The 'fear and pain', but this isn't how I am
Don't you forget that you are loved!
Don't you forget that you are them,
It's hard enough

Remember the flame in your heart burns strong
Remember and the spirit will collide

Remember! Together!

Remember in the end that death is not the end¿

So we rise!
Receive the pain, but this isn't where this ends¿
Don't you forget that you are perfect
Don't you forget just who we are
We're strong enough!

Wherever the flame in your heart burns strong,
We may not be brave so let's start
Remember and the spirits will collide!

Remember! Together!
Remember! Together!
Remember! Together!
Remember! Together!

Disco Inferno

The Trammps's song

To my surprise, one hundred stories high
People getting loose y'all, getting down on the roof
Folks are screaming, out of control
It was so entertaining when the boogie started to explode
I heard somebody say
disco inferno
(Burn baby burn) burn that mother down
(Burn baby burn) disco inferno
(Burn baby burn) burn that mother down
Satisfaction came in a chain reaction
(Burnin')
I couldn't get enough, so I had to self-destruct
The heat was on, rising to the top
Everybody going strong, and that is when my spark got hot
I heard somebody say
disco inferno
(Burn baby burn) burn that mother down y'all
(Burn baby burn) disco inferno
(Burn baby burn) burn that mother down
Up above my head
I hear music in the air
That makes me know
There's a party somewhere
Satisfaction¿

Kingdom
I 
I wonder why I wonder why 
I've 
I've come undone 

O.K., I know I missed it 
The point I mean, I missed it good 
And if I could 
Good God I would 

Now I've seen the way it's headed 
Down and down, the truth descended 
Have it here and without worry 
Baby please, there is no hurry 
I'm fine 

Stay with me 
Play with me 

Ego, it's only a soul 

Now I see the way I'm headed 
Down and down, the youth descended 
Hell is here, but it hath no fury 
Like this woman still, there is no worry 
I'm fine 

Stay with me 
Play with me 

Without warning, brain is burning
