holy sea 01:58
wake up in the sun, with lightning ships over your head. rest your sleepy eyes, as they take you to a planet that is red. oh holy sea, they are fishing monsters from the deep. room with a view, is not the room where I come from. heard a voice above say "you are me and I am the one." oh holy sea, men are fishing monsters from the deep.

last night 03:02
last night, last night... last night i had a dream, the whole world let out a scream. inside my head I heard it crawl. standing in the sun, with my headphones on. i got the urge to run to those passed on. the world is a changing place, everyone is trying to win the race. the older i get the less i know about this thing spinning in space. so i'm asking for a little faith, to hit the gas and not the brakes. oh darling hold my hand, as i try to understand the greatest love of man. I wanna grab real life, real love. the world is a changing place, everyone is trying to win the race. the older i get the less i know about this thing in space. oh spinning in space.

casserole 02:52
down by the pier, the moon and the stars are rising in the ice age, into the ice age. but when it disappears, the phone and the cars will have no place. just deserted land, and a fire on the sand. 'cause you and me, are rolling towards the sea, we'll bake together in the morning sun, and by evening the casserole will be done. just deserted land, and a fire on the sand. you and me, the casserole.

sing in the morning, the sound of love, from the pillow lift your head. your soft steps on the kitchen floor, the sound of you breathing in the bed. sing in the evening your curling toes, the smell of onions on the stove. to hear the door open every night and know your laugh will lighten my load. burn my books or smash my records all that matters is love. take my life or take my money all that matters is love. its not easy to hear the war through the window and it gets scary to think of a penniless future, but all I know, in this physical world, the memories and love are all I want. burn my books or smash my records all that matters is love. take my life or take my money all that matters is love.

winter light 03:32
here comes the winter light gonna paralyze. sitting in my yellow chair, waiting for my baby to reappear. going down to market, going to the post. run around this city like a heavenly host. oh but man that winter cold, makes me feel so old. praying through cruel centuries, passed by the window and the trees. used to walk at night, looking for some peace. there was a presence in the air, coming up like a saints feast. everybody thinks you gotta do things the same way, that they've always been done. but they are wrong.

i don't need to tell you how the future goes you wrote it on your heart, like a physic knows. all mapped on paper, its a destined route. nothing needs to change, its all figured out. oh!! so good for you!! I wish I knew how it turns out. I wish I had a map like its in your pocket. nothing I know never turns out, the way i want it to go. it never turns out but oh, I feel so good for you!! Oh! I feel so good for you... ...good for you!

we've all been here since the beginning. sleeping in brine, slipping through time. the trees, the bricks, you and me. dots and lines through history. so when you say "rich and poor" there is a devil at your front door. this is the darkest hour, and it owes us a living. this is the darkest hour, we want to be forgiven. take my hand, we'll walk in the light. we're all walking, we're all walking toward the light. this is the darkest hour, and it owes us a living, this is the darkest hour, and we want to be forgiven...

yellow sun 01:48
bad breath and a rum and coke, i don't plan on being pope... keep my heart in a walk-in-freezer, they're smoking dope, but I hope I see her. yellow is nice, when its warm outside. yellow is nice, in the sky.

evil crushing armies in the hands of your brother, eyes for destruction in the land of another. aw man, he don't understand... he's looking to spend a trillion dollars on the moon, while children on the south side are looking for some food. aw man, he don't understand... can only speak for me, I don't know about you but I ain't gonna wait around and wait for Dr. Who, but aw man, HE really understands... he'd rather be picking raspberries on the eve of destruction than pick up a gun to serve another man's function.
10.
well I know the man in the center of the world, there's flowers resting on his head, he's always saying a prayer for the dreams. in a chapel made of stone, he lights a candle for the world. looking for a star to fall down in our sleep and awaken our love. he lives on and on, watching stars wet and cold from afar. in a fog my eyes won't stop looking in a black night. in a chapel made of stone, he lights a candle for the world. looking for a star to fall down and warm up our hearts.
