The milky way is here to stay
Made up of shooting stars and dark afar
Their flashing lights amongst the night
Caught the bat and cow conversing something isn't right
And it's outta sight
And I feel alright
And the dog was barking on and on and on at the moon
Which was already gone
Over the mountain
Over the mountain
Over the mountain
Ahh

A Part
02:47
|

Physically miles apart but our minds are so close together
Should have known it right from the start that we could be apart forever
Spelling out thoughts through words we pride ourselves on being so clever
Feeling an impulsive need to express spending our days in this foolish endeavour
Is it safe to say there can be no other way or at the finish may we consider things outweighed
Outweighed
A reality which cannot be conceived as this is not expressed spokenly
Spokenly
Rather a mental excursion explored through selfish fantasy
Fantasy

Melody of Mankind

Are you ready for this melody of mankind falling
To his knees can you see the sky oh god it's falling
Farther and faster the end all disaster
Our right to exist no longer persists
To light the way
Through the darkness of our ways
The root of all evil has priced our lives to pay
I hope that you can hear this harmony
Oh man please
You've gotta end this disease of sowing the black seeds of the weed greed (or os it weed greed?)
Before your blind date with too much carbon on your plate begins to dictate our fate
I know destruction breeds creation but it's easy to do so is that really a challenge for you?
Through the darkness of our days
The root of all evil has sold our souls as slaves
Beating the war drum
Of hypocrisy
Self fulfilling
Prophecy
Secrets are trumped by honesty
Corporate interest has to be
Trumped by the community
Innovation has to put the users in the drivers seat
Yea (lol)
We've gotta value those values
(And so I have had to realize the middle of the road - because falling off the fence can lead to broken bones yo)

Beautiful Disease
03:02

I know looking at you, you see something in me
What it is I don't know why, it compels you to stay by my side
I am not deserving this, wondrous heavenly bliss
But you take the time, making me realize that
You are to me - a god send
Angel that's seen - all that is free
Opening up my eyes - so I can see inside
You are to me - a beautiful disease
In the night we pass the time, reading words the stories of our lives
Feeling round our guards come down, letting go of what was solid ground
Total freedom the past left behind, these feelings uncovered nothing left to hide
We grow ever stronger with the passing of time, connecting our minds and seeing why...

Gypsy

I'm falling for you baby
My bleeding heart tells me you're driving me crazy
I won't take no for an answer
Won't you love me forever and ever
I met a gypsy
She had a different truth
She was so very pretty
And really knew how to move
She came grinding my way
And led my words astray
She cast her spell on me
i was to blind to see
Her love could never be
I'm gonna leave you babe but you keep on twisting my mind
I'm gonna love you forever but you've gone and left me here tonight
I thought our time had passed
And I missed her groove
When her word came at last
Everything was beautiful and true
We loved the night away
And fought our darker days
She flashed her wicked grin
I fell into her sin
And crawled right out of my
Thin skin
I'm gonna leave you babe but Im gonna love you one more time
I'm gonna love you forever but I'm gonna leave you here tonight
We sailed the skies
High as pirates drunk on chocolate wine
Diamonds were forever
But the music was divine
We went together like
Sunny days and stormy weather
Pain
Pleasure
Temporary forever
And just like every other time
We came undone love was my crime
Lust was my passion everything else was a lie
Along with her name for which the truth oddly rhymed
I loved that gypsy
She made one out of me
We could never be together because you know, we're both wild and free
So we parted our ways
With nothing left to say
We let our worlds collide
I think we barely survived
But you know we had, a great fucking time
I'm gonna leave you babe but I'm gonna love you one more time
I'm gonna love you forever but I'm gonna leave you here tonight
Goodbye

I remember, dear Kat
A soul so beautiful it melted this man
Given time, you'd understand
But would you remember me or simply forget
Maybe next time I can see through the wine
I can feel you breathing on my mind
It ain't easy to see
When you're hazy, baby
To me
The miles and miles, were far apart
I didn't want to hurt you babe, my shooting star
I let you go, I want you free
But baby please, baby please come back to me
Maybe next time, you could write on my mind
I wanna get your meaning, I'd love to have that feeling
Oh I wanna know hey, do you feel that needing, baby
I'm gonna pray, for a little believing
A little believing
It was three times in the past, that I spoke to you last
I haven't heard from you, and that's ok
Because I saw you on that balcony, looking at me
In my dreams
And now our time, has come to pass
But I found the ring you lost, in the grass
I keep it in my pocket, and with permission from the hourglass
I'll return it to your finger with just one question to ask

Sun Moon & Stars
02:34

I'm gonna touch the sky
But the sun he said you're gonna fry
So just then I caught a cloud that was passing by
I didn't have wings but I learned to fly
I can feel you across the great divide
And I know your day begins filled up with sunshine
Cause over here our day has turned to night
But that's ok babe there's not a cloud in sight
I fell from the sky
When the sun he shone my cloud goodbye
Wind whispered in my ear trying to justify
Putting tears in my eyes that I couldn't cry
I can feel you across the great divide
And I know your day begins filled with sunshine
Cause over here our day has turned to night
But that's ok babe there's not a cloud in sight
I was going to touch the sky
But the sun he shone
Too bright.
