"Walls Of The Cave"

"Walls Of The Cave"


I'm leaving you a message, I'm leaving you a trace
I'm leaving thoughts for you I hope that time will not erase
And when the moment comes to read the words that I engrave
You'll find them on the walls of the cave

I know you heard the question but you didn't make a sound
And when it fell you caught my heart before it hit the ground
But if you evern need the names of those you couldn't save
You'll find them on the walls of the cave

Look at me
The time stands still
The mountain here is now a hill
Look away
The time goes past
These rocks will fall away at last
Look away

Maybe you will see it as you're passing by alone
Below the moss forgotten where some words adorn a stone
It might have been an etching on a marker of a grave
Or maybe on the walls of the cave

Listen to
The silent trees
But still your words float on the breeze
Look away
I see them all
Carved into the cavern wall

"Waste"

"Waste"


Don't want to be an actor pretending on the stage
Don't want to be a writer with my thoughts out on the page
Don't want to be a painter 'cause everyone comes to look
Don't want to be anything where my life's an open book

A dream it's true
But I'd see it through
If I could be
Wasting my time with you

Don't want to be a farmer working in the sun
Don't want to be an outlaw always on the run
Don't want to be a climber reaching for the top
Don't want to be anything where I don't know when to stop

A dream it's true
But I'd see it through
If I could be
Wasting my time with you

So if I'm inside your head
Don't believe what you might have read
You'll see what I might have said
To hear it

Come waste your time with me
Come waste your time with me

So if I'm inside your head
Don't believe what you might have read
You'll see what I might have said
To hear it

Come waste your time with me
Come waste your time with me
Come waste your time with me
Come waste your time with me

Come waste your time with me

"Water In The Sky"

"Water In The Sky"


Listen as she speaks to you
Hear the voices flutter through
The barriers arranged by you

Close the shutters draw the shades
Filter out the everglades
Glistening with evening dew

Thunder calls through waterfalls
Rising tides and ocean walls
I can hear you when you sigh

Listen as she speaks to you
Hear the voices flutter through
Watch them fall and let them lie

I can hear you when you sigh
Through the water in the sky

"Waves"

"Waves"


How is it I never see
The waves that bring her words to me
For though unseen they drift around
They catch my breath and knock me down

I feel them quickly swirling by
As they withdraw with my reply
And slip into the dark of night
As I attempt to stay upright

Instead I'm stranded on my knees
As words depart upon the breeze
Which quickly drifts away from here
And possibly won't reach her ear

If we could see the many waves
That flow through clouds and sunken caves
She'd sense at least the words that sought her
On the wind and underwater

"Weigh"

"Weigh"


I'd like to cut your head off so I could weigh it, what do ya say?
Five pounds, six, pounds, seven pounds
I'd like to go to your house and gather all your razors and pick all the
little prickly hairs so I can weigh them, what do ya say?
Five pounds, six pounds, seven pounds
I'd like to gather all your friends and squish them all into a small
swimming pool so I can weigh them, what do ya say?
Five pounds, six pounds, seven pounds
Why weigh on a sunny day?
So much to do so why, why weigh?
On a sunny day, why wei-igh-hey?
Why weigh, why weigh?
I'd like to hear my options, so I can weigh them, what do ya say?
Five pounds, six pounds, seven pounds
Why weigh on a sunny day?
So much to do, so why, why weigh?
On a sunny day, why wei-gh-hey?
Why
Oh Why [x11]
Why weigh?

"Wilson"

"Wilson"


Oh out near Stonehenge, I lived alone
Oh out near Gamehendge, I chafed a bone
Wilson, King of Prussia, I lay this hate on you
Wilson, Duke of Lizards
I beg it all trune for you

Talk my duke a mountain, Helping Friendly Book
Inasfar as fiefdom, I think you bad crook
Wilson, King of Prussia, I lay this hate on you
Wilson, Duke of Lizards
I beg it all trune for you

I talked to my son Roger, Rutherford the same
[or "I talked to Mike Christian, Rog and Pete the same"]
When we had that meeting, over down near Game(henge)
Wilson, King of Prussia, I lay this hate on you
Wilson, Duke of Lizards
I beg it all trune for you

You got me back thinkin' that you're the worst one
I must inquire, Wilson
Can you still have fun?
Wilson
Can you still have fun?
Wilson
Can you still have fun?
Wilson

Meanwhile, in the main square in Prussia, the state of the revolution was taking another turn for the worst. A crowd of townspeople had gathered to witness the hanging of Wilson's accountant, Mr. Palmer. It seemed that Palmer had been a revolutionary himself and had been extorting Wilson's money to fund the revolution. Palmer stood on the scaffold with Wilson and the AC/DC Bag, an electrified robot-hangman with a black bag over his head. Wilson seemed pleased as he began to speak.

"Wingsuit"

"Wingsuit"


Steal away, let’s steal a car
You’ll never win a major only shooting par
Step outside, feel the sun
It’s only you, be you, ‘cause you’re the only one

And it feels good ‘cause it feels good
And it feels good

Nothing lasts, nothing stays
Caught in this procession of unchanging days
What’s new is old, what’s old is gone
You’re pushed up to the edge, so put your wingsuit on

Put your wingsuit on
(And it feels good ‘cause it feels good
And it feels good)

And gliding away, you fly where you choose
There’s nothing to say and nothing to lose

Steal away, paint the sky

Put your wingsuit on

And gliding away, you fly where you choose
There’s nothing to say, and nothing to lose

Time to put your wingsuit on

"Winterqueen"

"Winterqueen"


The winter queen looks up and sighs:
I wish that I controlled the skies
For up above is where to stand
To rule those who walk on the land

The summer queen flies by and sees
Her realm of butterflies and bees
And said, I wish I lived below
Instead I sail where breezes blow

And the rain came down
It tried to seep
Into the ground
But water deep

Pecked and poked
And sodden soil
Already soaked
Began to roil

The prince of silence walks below
Inside a cave of ice and snow
He says "I wonder why?" but words
Are locked in glaciers, never heard

The prince of music on guitar
Neglects to play a single bar
But music trapped inside his head
Resounds and fills the space instead

The winter queen looks up and sighs...

"Wolfman's Brother"

"Wolfman's Brother"


Well it was many years ago now
But I really can't be sure
That's when it all began then
I heard that knock upon my door
And the wolfman's brother
The wolfman's brother
Came down on me
The telephone was ringing
That's when I handed it to Liz
She said, "This isn't who it would be,
If it wasn't who it is"
It's the wolfman's brother,
The wolfman's brother
Came down on me
So I might be on a side street
Or a stairway to the stars
I hear the high pitched cavitation
Of propellers from afar
It's the wolfman's brother...
Come down on me
So with meaningless excitement
And smooth atonal sound
It's like a cross between a hurricane
And a ship that's run aground
It's the wolfman's brother
Coming down on - coming down on me

"Wombat"

"Wombat"


Had to have that
Had to have that
Your wombat
Had that

Had to have that
Had to have that
Your wombat
Had that

You gotta take it with you when you're going forward
If you're moving on you've got to leave it behind
(Know you've got to leave it behind)

You gotta take it with you when you're going forward
If you're moving on you've got to leave it behind
(Know you've got to leave it behind)

Your wombat
You had that
Your wombat
You had that

You gotta take it with you when you're going forward
If you're moving on you've got to leave it behind
(Know you've got to leave it behind)

It's kinda like the theme from the "Fish" TV show
You know - with Abe Vigoda
The "Fish" TV show
You know - with Abe Vigoda

You gotta take it with you when you're going forward
If you're moving on you've got to leave it behind
(Bring it forward or leave it behind)

Little red wagon took a big jump
(Cuddly but deadly)
That pup was caught in a centrifuge
(Herbivorous, crepuscular)

Never did tumble over the side of the hill
(Discovered by a man named Wilson)
Kept flying down to Baton Rouge

Spit out the seeds
Gnaw on the pulp
Suck on the juice
And simmer the rinds
(Herbivorous, crepuscular)

Look at everything
You had to have
Bring it forward
(Bring it forward or leave it behind)
Or leave it behind

Cuddly, but muscular

Herbivorous, crepuscular
Cuddly, but muscular
Herbivorous, crepuscular
Cuddly, but muscular
Herbivorous, crepuscular
Cuddly, but muscular
Herbivorous, crepuscular
