Lyrics:
Just like Jules Verne travelling time
Sending ripples through my mind
Brainwaves crashing back to the future
A tsunami of destiny changing
Of the darkness in men's minds
What can you say
That wasn't marked by history
Or the TV news today
He gets away with murder
The blizzards come
mother screams picking
Out his casket harsh reality, it seems like
It's simple mathematics, it's not
It's trigonometry
(trigganometry) divided by some real
If you don't think about it
It's alright
If you don't look at it, it's alright
How time slips away
Live by the good book
That's what the wise
When a zither starts to play
You'll remember yesterday
In its haunting strain
Vienna lives again
Free and bright and gay
In your mind a sudden
just a man
I can't live without you
When you see me - what do you see
Can't you see I don't want you to pity me
Only with your love
Cos that would kill
intrinsically changes
We can rationalize but our actual lives are affected by a hunger for sane-ness
In the back of our minds are the nastiest lines that a dope
Always saw my life
Like I'm travelling on
A crooked highway all alone
With casualties
Screaming from the ditch
With old friends waving slow goodbyes
just doing my job
Hey lady, don't mind me I'm just doing my job
I don't want to make your life more harder, I'm just doin my job
You live here, I work
want to live inside this mind
You wouldn't want to be here today
All I need is some protection
I'll take all that I can
Don't judge me tonight girl
Cos
woke up from that night mare to start another day
I want to be a simple man with a little peace of mind
Live a simple life, in a place that's kind
I'm just an old fashioned girl with an old fashioned mind
Not sophisticated, I'm the plain and simple kind
I want an old fashioned house, with
the sunshine: ooh it's a travelling life.
They say a man who lives for the army: ooh got a soldier's life
With a switchblade knife, it's a crazy life...
Here,
chasing sunsets
One of life's simple joys
Is the boys
I don't wanna be the moth around your fire
(With the boys)
I don't wanna be obsessed by my
man
A lonely man
I've been a lonely man
Lucy
I don't want to live my life without you
There were times when I tried to get you off my mind
Tucked up, safely away.
In his dreams he's taken away by alien beings to another
Galaxy, deep in space. To a planet where a man can live
Out his
every man lives the seed of a flower
If he looks within he finds beauty and power
Ring all the bells sing and tell the people that be everywhere
of change you can move the stone
By the hands of love you must free the soul
To live forever with a heart of gold
With a mind of steel, but a heart
And I've been milkin' and plowin' so long that
Even Ezekiel thinks that my mind is gone
I'm a man of the land, I'm into discipline
Got a Bible in my hand
Hey, lady, let me tell you why
I can't live my life without you (oh, baby)
Every time I see you walkin' by, I get a thrill
You don't understand,
see, my name is Uncle Sam, I'm your dog
Motherfucker, you can live at the mall
I know your kind (that's why I'm kind)
Don't have receipts (oh, man
a big house where
We both could live.
If I was a sculptore
but then again no
or a man who makes potions
in a travelling show
I know its not much
but its
Fried chicken and a cocaine drip
Stare at my eyelids
It’s a real trip
Edge of the knife, but I still live
Simple mind, that just won’t give
Got
my mind I've cleaned the plates and pumped a lot of pain
I wish i had me a real job like waiting tables
No more bands and travelling, man, I want
