Lyrics
At the risk of removing some of the mystery...
Politics and Prayer
Life on the sly
Give it a try
‘Cause you’re the only road I never crossed.
Eye in the Sky
A mind that asked why
If you never had, you never lost.
Confusing politics and prayer
Is like pretending you’re not there.
Look in your face
Like changing your race
Tell me how should I then live.
Behind the pace
A seminal chase
And that’s all I have to give.
Confusing politics and prayer
Is like pretending your not there
All These
Staring straight into mission strange
I can’t hide my fear
In the street at high noon
Turn around and a man goes boom
And all around are falling shells
Never knew there was sand in hell
I think I heard a mother cry
Who am I to wonder why.
All these years all this time
All these fears left behind
Modern Gallows
I was saved by an superstition
Left to the wildlife, and mystery.
Holding on to an institution and
Sounding off for vain policy.
If it comes to be that I reign in this monster,
Then this romance with the sky will fall.
Take it from me.
Form and function resist my kind.
The hooded figures aren't far behind.
Send me off to the modern gallows, and
make a movie about my crimes.
If it comes to be that I reign in this monster
Then this romance with the sky will fall.
Take it from me.
Run
Same as before,
when we looked out at the edge of what we knew
To be real and on fire,
And totally unprotected from the ways and the means
And suffering for our dreams,
We gave it all for the promise of another day.
I was the lost son,
You were a shotgun
We couldn’t find any other way.
I was the lost son,
You were a shotgun
We should have run the other way
Just like you said it would be,
I see the picture changing from a place on the wall
Perfectly incomplete
You tell a tale,
Of a vision of who you used to be,
You close your eyes and take a breath between every word.
I was the lost son
You were a shot gun
We couldn’t find any other way
I was the lost son
You were a shotgun
We should have run the other way
Even or Odd
Cool the shadows and sun dried heat
I feel the thickening air.
One on One with a re-born has been
How will I get to the end of these days.
Two to One is a call to action
Shaking the living dead
Arm in arm with a past good friend
It's getting to easy to care about these days.
You make it hard
To see things from my way.
When times get hard I could get even
or I could get odd.
Town to town in advance of danger
Betting my life on a dare
Feel my heart beat inside my head,
It's getting to easy to care about these days.
See Beyond
Time is moving over walls I've built up
I can see beyond the words you told me
Time is making time stand still in silence
I can see beyond the words you told me.
Eyes to Stars
Eyes to stars in constant wonder
Does it make you high
It's all you have to show
Outside in the atmosphere
Level head with a drink of beer
It's been way to long and I should know.
chorus:
All I can say, is measure up the time.
and learn to love again.
All I can say, is measure up the time.
and learn to live again.
Not the ordinary spaces
You keep inside.
Save your act for the next show
Stand in line for the next race
Or grab a ticket to outer space
It's been way too long and I should know.
chorus:
Daylight tripping or twilight dreaming
I'm on your side
Whatever makes you grow.
Outside in the atmosphere
Level head with a drink of beer
It's been way to long and I should know.
chorus:
Thunder Perfect Mind
So far away from the land I’m seeing.
I am sound but just for a moment
Outside the lines its rare air I’m breathing
Say a word and the spell is broken.
For All the Reasons that we both could share
To feel like drowning
To be a man before my time
With Thunder Perfect Mind
Safe from a life where the plans keep growing
I’m alone but not forgotten
Reaching past arms length and called a sinner
Is there hope or just belonging
With all the reasons that we both could live
I fell like shouting
And find a secret I could share
With Thunder Perfect Mind.
I am love
I am hate
I am reasonably sane
I am war
I am peace
I am in between the worlds
Of thunder Perfect Mind
Hideous Strength
Head above the clouds
Never see the rain fall down
You never very clear
I’m getting only sight no sound.
Even the god’s themselves agree
To hide that hideous strength
Even the god’s themselves agree.
To hide that hideous strength.
A rumble in the night
Waking from the safe and sound
Second seeing sight
Belief that turns it upside down
Spotlight Fallacy
I’ve finally found a way to live
It’s heaven sent
But I know that it could never be
It’s all the time it’s all the same
It never ends.
All along the way
Spotlight Fallacy
All along the way
Spotlight fallacy
All begins today
Spotlight fallacy
From now until the end of time
You know it’s near
You get the feeling you should
Find a way
It’s all the time it all the time
It never ends
All along the way
Spotlight Fallacy
All along the way
Spotlight Fallacy
All begins today
Spotlight Fallacy.
