Dion's over at the pizza parlor
Sound's like this record is on supercharger
Snapping fingers to that summer party sound
The room is humming to the drummer's heartbeat
Outside some girls are walking down the street
To myself I watch them move and carry on
Everywhere I look the streets are gold
The sounds come out from every radio
It makes you feel alive and then you're in it
See the stars before the night is finished
All the people kind of moving heaven down
Down on the street it's never out of true
Where broken dreams steal down the avenue
How fast we shuffle down the boulevard
Memories wind up on the tape recorder
Watch the boats that come in sailing from a far
Dion's over at the pizza parlor
I know iy's him i think i'll give a holler
Snapping fingers to that summer party song

The real sound of this world
Feels like a kick in your soul
The flowers are blooming
On the streets again 'cause the hollow man's
Already been rolled
There goes the sound, the real sound of the world
Just play it loud close the door go around
I am you as you are me
I break every chain
That always had me bound
The real sound of the world
I am you as you are me
I break every chain that always had me bound
The real sound of the world
Comes from underground

Tilting at Windmills
02:10
|

There goes the magic sunset
after the endless rain
Stepping stones in gravel
my home away from home
Keep shining my light everywhere i go
At last i'm flying free
the apple landed on my head
the endless raining glen
Stepping stones in gravel
this meandering has no end
Keep shining my light everywhere i go
At last i'm flying free
I'm just tilting on Windmills
I'm always on the edge
No-one will be down enough
to brainwash me again
I'm here tilting at Windmills
I'm tilting at Windmills

Clouds of painted air
Ooops, they're everywhere
Breezy puffsthat dawdle when
there's really nothing there
Here comes the quiet rain
from a perfect sunny sky
I've been watching airplanes fly
Way up high / King of the sky
And I go
Gee, the sky is blue
Gonna take you for a ride
The sun 's like me today
Later tonight the moon's like you
I've been watching airplanes fly
Way up high / King of the sky
I've been watching airplanes fly
Way up high / King of the sky
And I go... And I go / and I go / and I go...

Sour Lemonade Sour

Tell me the things that we whispered
once haven't died undone
Pick up the pieces of places
you've traveled around the sun
Every moment you laugh
Is a opening for someone
I'm on the street looking up
at you window one-on-one
Even the wild things roaming around
in the night aren't free
They've all got antennas with eyes
in the back of their head to see
Still something will cross their path
bringing all of them to their knees
Darlin' before I go
Pick up your eyes / at least just say hello
I wandered in here for the way
was clear and the glass all clean
And sat on the porch with the torch
of a thousand cold missing dreams
Life is so strange sometimes
I doesn't feel like it seems
Darlin' before I go
Pick up your eyes / at least just say hello
Ome of the guys downtown wanna
throw me a bon boyage
They've hired a band and put up a stage
in an old garage
Darlin' before I go
Pick up your eyes / at least just say hello
Darlin' you can't ask why
Pick up your eyes
You know you've gotta try

The Magic Creek
03:18

Take me to the magic creek
where all my dreams can't hurt
'cause i'm a different kind of man
A misfit trapped in the wrong place
Take me to the magic creek
I am pure as the driven snow
If good dreams come to
Those who wait
then I've been waiting for too long
The skyscrapers can hold
grey clouds... but soon they'll fall!
Take me to the magic creek
where all my dreams can't hurt
I'm a different kind of man
I want to meet your god now
The skyscrapers can hold
grey clouds the sun was rising
When I thought taht it's too late
to be just "sane"
You think by now that i'd be dead
but this has only just begun

Rain, Rain, Rain

Rain, rain, rain / here it comes again
It gives me life and makes me feel alright
Let the heavy rain, downpour
It will give you peace and will make you feel alright
It will give you peace and will make you feel alright
Let the heavy rain, downpour
I never felt so lonely before
It's the first day of the rest of my life
Hey girl, guess you are going through the same
SO let's make it fun and dramatic at the same time
And don't cry / enjoy the rain
And maybe one day we'll find each other again

I spell that i was under
some forgotten scene
The actor wouldn't speak his mind
I remember underneath the light sublime
what I was thinking in my brain
I can only sigh with that shadow of your eye
Just when you feel you've been set free
another door without a key... appears
The play goes on with or wothout you
The understudy knows your lines
The moment when you know for certain
It's time to open up the blinds
underneath the lights sublime
What i was thinking in my brain i can only sigh
within tah shadow of your eye
Just when you feel you've been set free
anothe door without a key
now the end draws nigh
I thought i had down this time
just when you feel you've been set free
another door without a key... appears

I don't know your world
02:49
|
|||
I was alone in my footsteps of stone breaking
I picked up the phone stating
Number unknown explaining
Just call me back when you get home
I don't know your world and I can't see your world if I'm
Outside your world / just a stranger
And I can't feel your world and the
World isn't real if you're here in a world you can't foresee
Then I go tumbling a round eyery corner just
wainting a long time and the day's growing shorter as the
Last subway's roaring down the line
I don't know your world and I can't see your world if I'm
Outside your world / just a stranger
and I can't feel your world and the
World isn't real if you're here in a world you can't foresee
Here comes the guitar player
Breaks in a thousand pieces
RIght there in public for the on looking weary faces
He doesn't have left many strings
I don't know your world and I can't see your world if I'm
Outside your world / just a stranger
and I can't feel your world and the
World isn't real if you're here in a world you can't foresee

The Anchorite
02:23
|

I... I will never fall in love again but if you miss me
you can find me where the sheep wool piles up
The sunset came
it took me here shaking off the daze
Life is good so run away from fools who take the lead
I'm in the sheep shed
I'm the anchorite
I'm singing from a place where the smell of damp earth
always hits me but if you miss me
you can find me where the goals climb high
I'm a monk in my head
I'm the sheep shed
I'm the anchorite
I'm the sheep shed
