"One X One"

"One X One"



Share your dreams
Give us all the beam we need
Like electric light
In a ballroom scene
Going one x one

Shed your chains
To earth like dew and all remain
Forever in another vein
As you slip into another dream

Don't fear not
Not where you tread
Fear only- the lies you're fed

Head that sign
For all of us who wait in line
Waiting for the words to rhyme
Bringing on a brand new day

Don't fear not
Not where you tread
Fear only- the lies you're fed

So dance little dancer
Like you've never danced before
It's just a moment
We're going through
This is the new dance that we do
So sing little brother
And turn on everyone
Lift are spirits high
To a place we need to find

Share your dreams
Give us all the beam we need
Like electric light
In a ballroom scene
Going one x one

Shed your chains
To earth like dew and all remain
Forever in another vein
Going on one x one

"Out Of The Sinking"

"Out Of The Sinking"



Past midnight's hold
Where the world's awaiting
I'll wait for you love
But I close my eyes, as there's pain too in paradise

Hey baby say - just what you're thinking
Know I know it - yeh, feel I'm sinking
Know I feel it - I know you feel it too
Across the water, there's a boat that
Will take us away

It is shining for me
All I need to be
But I can't find the key
The one to make me believe

Late at night
When the world is dreaming
Way past the stars
That ignore our fate & all twinkle too late to save us
So we save ourselves

Hey baby say - just what you're thinking
Know I know it - yeh, feel I'm sinking
Know I feel it - I know you feel it too
Across the water, there's a boat that
Will take us away

Far from the madness - out of the sadness
Into sunlight - out of the sinking
You know I feel it
I know you it too
Across the water, there's a boat that will take us away
And there we will stay

"Pan"

"Pan"



He is not the God of creation
But he is the Lord
Of the morning light
And with his song
That floats on up
Through the daybreak
It is he that
Will stay daylong

Through the dawns early mists
That rise with the river
Through the sound of the world
Once more awake
You can feel
His presence strong
As forever as once more
The ice of night time melts

Give way the day
Give way the day
As we start again

Is he not the God of creation
Is he not the God of creation
Is he not the God of creation

"Paper Smile"

"Paper Smile"



What's in a life
If you don't live it, baby
It's just getting on by
With a promise, what if, maybe

Hanging around
Waiting for something to fall
And once in a while
The paper smile must come a-way
What's in a life
If you don't live it, baby

What's in a kiss
If you can't feel it, baby
The lips maybe sweet
But are they sweet enough to contain it

You're wasting your time
Hanging out of windows painting
And once in a while
The paper smile must come and go

And where it blows
Who knows
And where it goes
It goes
I'm glad to see it go
I'm glad to see it go

And what's in a dream
If you can't be it, baby

Look away, you're painted smile
Look away, you're painted smile
Wipe away your painted smile
Wipe away your painted smile
Look away you're painted smile
Wipe away your painted smile
Painted smile, painted smile
Painted smile, painted smile

"Paperchase"

"Paperchase"



Paper chase - paper chase
You can't see the light that's in your face
Paper chase - paper chase
You dressed in the cloak that you have made
What y'say?

Paper planes - paper planes
Flying too close to the solar flames
Paper chains - paper chains
Was earth not enough for you?
- no the earth wouldn't do

Beaming like a cat that has strayed too far
Showing off your tail in an old back yard
Moving slinky - slide in your fruitless search
Tentatively out in space - paper chase

Paper chase - paper chase
You can't see the love that's taking place
Paper chase - paper chase
You can't hear the words at all -
While you're in your free fall

Sneaking in the night like a low down dog
Barking at the moon that has given you up
Merging into black 'til you can't be seen
Moving at a different pace
Paper chase

"Peacock Suit"

"Peacock Suit"



I've got a grapefruit matter
It's as sour as shit
I have no solutions
Better get used to it

I don't need a ship to sail in stormy weather
I don't need you to ruffle the feathers - of my Peacock Suit
I'm Narcissus in a puddle
In shop windows I gloat
Like a ball of fleece lining
In my camel skin coat

I don't need a ship to sail in stormy weather
I don't need you to ruffle the feathers - of my Peacock Suit
Did you think I should

Nemesis in a muddle
In a mirror I look
Like a streak of sheet lightnin'
In my rattleskin shoes

I don't need a ship to sail in stormy weather
I don't need you to ruffle the feathers - of my Peacock Suit
Did you think I should

"Picking Up Sticks"

"Picking Up Sticks"



Come blackest crow
Start the wheat field blow
In a wind so high
It waves and glows
'til you can't see the wood for the trees
I'm like anybody on their knees
Trying to find a way to make it fit
Picking up sticks

Let's swirl again
Take us far away
To the church bell's chime
In a far distant field
To a place where so lately so slow
And a time I feel like letting it go
Far away enough to catch our breath
I know where and everyone there
Looking to click
Picking up sticks

Come crimson rays
Paint us all the same
You know the magic is why
And it's here again
Now you can't see the wood for the trees
Now like anybody on their knees
Far away enough to catch our breath
Looking to click
Picking up sticks

"Pieces Of A Dream"

"Pieces Of A Dream"



Like pieces of a dream
All shattered on a screen
Refracted into shapes
(Refracted into shapes)
Explore this new landscape

Like pieces of a dream
Disturbingly serene
(Disturbingly serene)
Comforting at once and yet
Nothing you can connect

Shake it up, shake it up
Shake it up, baby
Shake it up, shake it up
Shake it up, baby

Can't put my finger on it
Can't put it's figure on me
Can't fix my mind upon it
This feeling's captured me
Like pieces of a dream

"Pink On White Walls"

"Pink On White Walls"



The sun shone pink on white walls
And the trees stood so tall
Defiant, proud and loud against the sky

There's no sign, there's no plan
There ain't even a helping hand
Just the bitter tang of sweet virtue

Don't waste your time
Don't hesitate
Life is but a moment - you can't wait
Go and have your fun
Go and lose your mind
But can you get back to the ones you left behind?

When it comes, it comes quick!
An' when you're least expecting it
But the top's the bottom, an' the bottom is all you got

The sun shone pink on my wall
And the trees stand so tall
I'm empty now - but funny how
Defiant, proud and loud against the sky

"Porcelain Gods"

"Porcelain Gods"



Beware false prophets - take a stand!
My fortune cookie cracked up in my hand
More advice to fill up your head
More empty words from the livind dead
Who seek to explain what can't really be said

And how disappointed I was
To turn out after all
Just a porcelain God - that shatters when it falls

Too much will kill you - too little ain't enough
You shout my name but I'll call your bluff
Most who see me - see me not for real
We fake and fawn - play games 'til dawn
But I could see what you can see
And I hate too what you hate in me

And how disappointed I was
To turn out after all
Just a porcelain God - that shatters when it falls

I shake it off and start again
"Don't lose control" - I tell myself
Life can take many things away
Some people will try - and take it all
They'll pick off pieces as they watch you crawl

And how disappointed I was
To turn out after all
Just a porcelain God - that shatters when it falls
That shatters when it falls
