Bright Whte

Now I told you a long time ago
That I'd hold you
Never let you go behind
Anywhere I might flow
And I know you believe in me
And I hope you are seeing my dream
A whole lot of people in this world
Is a running around

And it's a long way in the face of fear
And there's a lot of men left without any tears
Anymore
And money is the name in the game of fame
But the music don't come out quite the same
Anymore

It's all about a bright white light
Shining through your mind and guiding your way
Mama put your arms around me
Fill me with your joy and rock me tonight
I said, bright white light
Shining through your mind and guiding your way

I told you a long time ago
That I'd hold you
Never let you go behind
Anywhere I might flow
And I'll hold you in winter and spring
And behold you in everything I sing
Being in your arms is just like coming home

And it's a long way in the face of fear
And there's a lot of men left without any tears
Anymore
And money is the name in the game of fame
But the music don't come out quite the same
Anymore

It's all about a bright white light
Shining through your mind and guiding your way
Bright white light
Shining through your mind and guiding your way
Mama put your arms around me
Fill me with your joy and rock me tonight
I said, bright white light
Shining through your mind and guiding your way
Bright white light
Shining through your mind and guiding your way
Bright white light
Shining through your mind and guiding your way
Bright white light
Shining through your mind and guiding your way



Salty Tears

Salty tears from a lady with electric knees
Seven years I've been smoking that anti-freeze
Silly fears and I never even held the keys
Won't you please take another look
Are you going to the marketplace
Read another book
Learn the rules of the human race
Try to learn to cook
'Cause there isn't time to see the face
Wrapped in silk and lace

Paper men pentagon hives
Paper men polluting our lives
Paper men telling their lies

Start another war
And you'll find it very hard to copy
Spring it on the poor
And you're acting like another Pope
Well they won't take any more
But they'll give another length of rope
It's our only hope
Flying like a bird
In the open sky of fantasy
Listen to the word
Before you reach a state of entropy
Well it really is absurd
For a man to think he isn't free
The key is me

Laced lady take another mountain
Laced lady climb another mountain
Laced lady what do you see
Laced lady now you are free



All The Kings And Castles

If all the kings and castles in the world are becoming one
We'll ride in the light of God's desires
And live in their house of none
Conceived with the eyes of total love
Live in the heart of everyone in love

And those that are there can find us
And those that are not won't bind us
For we cannot believe in the madness of your kindness
And do you believe in changes
And the way that the Lord arranges?
Are we going to fight Him every step of the way?

And small steps make a distance
And I know your love reminiscence
But the fact of the matter remains that we have to change
And changes are the best way we can learn to be
I see it in the fields and the forests
And the colors in the rippling sea
And in the ponds of stagnant water
From the lack of running free

And peace is just a state of being
It can come from letting love inside
Filling you with warmth and calmness
It's all that we can do is try
And share it in the human circle
And learn that there is no miracle in love


Victoria Emmanuele

Victoria Emmanuele, she looks so clean and lithe
Victoria Emmanuele, finds it hard to pay the price
Victoria, your mouth is open
You look like you're catchin' flies
You're sick and tired of all the games
The polyglot and the lies
Won't you,

Sing this song while you're walkin through your life
Walk this way and you know it's gotta treat you right
Victoria Emmanuele, is all right by me

Victoria Emmanuele, she's stickin' to her guns at last
Victoria Emmanuele, she's sheddin' off an ugly past
She's subsidized by lots of love
Morality has just begun
Filled to the brim with light divine
She never feels the need to run
And she,

Sings this song while you're walkin through your life
Walk this way and you know it's gotta treat you right
Victoria Emmanuele, is all right by me

Victoria Emmanuele, beginning to believe in life
Victoria Emmanuele, discovered how to know the height
Victoria Emmanuele, reality's not hard to find
And all your days and all your ways
It's the only thing we must define
And you,

Sing this song while you're walkin through your life
Walk this way and you know it's gotta treat you right
Victoria Emmanuele, is all right by me

Victoria Emmanuele, she's keepin' on in every way
She gets a little tired from time to time
But everybody does today
Too many people got specialized
Ain't nobody got the time to sit with their friends
And spend some love and put the washin' on the line



Planned "O"

Thought that I could come to Columbus
'Twas a ship with voided sails
There seemed a cavalier independence
In the way that they told their tales
About the riots kin to muted thunder
And the bloodfall of useless hail
Yet they revelled in an Indian summer
While the sky was a silver pale
And no one seemed to have an answer
To the things that that entailed
And she kept on lookin' at me
Through a veil, through a veil

Simplified lovers in a whirlwind
Scattered in the sparkling breeze
Stronger in the mounting chaos
Praying on a calloused knee
Acting out their short devotions
To the nonexistent one above
Playing on the soul's emotions
In the act of making love
And it seems that they have found an answer
In the memories they recall
And it looks like we are going to the ball

And in their time they spoke of things appalling
Of monarchs past and men to come and pray
And though the prisoners were acquitted
And the jury was committed to be slaughtered
No presence graced their passing on that day

Planned obsolescence on a planet
Begging for the basic needs
All we got to do is sit and plan it
Leaving out the guilt of greed
Soaring through the years of fullness
Stillness in the corpse's repose
Space is at the edge of taking
Peace is still the only road
Ain't nobody really going nowhere
'Till we learn to bear the load
And I think I feel a surging in my soul

Vague moon hiding in the winter
Tired sleepy people on the prowl
Mountain standing so majestic
Listening to the motor's howl
Everywhere children with potential
Learn to play the same old games
Etna gave a needed warning
Hurricanes do the same
Power to the people to protect them
In the fast and driving rain
And I think that we're about to use our brain



Lasting Peace Of Mind

I know where you'll find
Lasting peace of mind
Life is full of trial
Don't you let yourself be defiled
You know in your heart
You have got a secret part
School can't teach you all
If so how should I be called
And some will know my name
For to them it has no shame
I begin the game
And 'tis I will end your name
And time is made in your mind
Made in your mind
And you might go for the ride
Go for the ride
And you will love to be alive
Gotta be alive

If you want to see
Fill yourself with thee
Can you sense your strength in the sea
And rich and poor are void
No one's soul can be destroyed
Close your eyes and cry
And you'll feel your laughter drawing nigh
Take another look
You'll see it coming over
Take another look
Don't you feel it flying by now
Take another look
It's a force of new creation
Take another look
It's a loss of all sensation
Take another look
'Cause it's rolling out of nothing
Take another look
'Cause there's definitely something there


Technotronic Lad

Well my eyes flew open this morning
I was thinking about a troubled dream
The technotronic lad was feeling very bad
He was working on a naughty scheme
If we can get some of that good brown rice
From out of that oozin mud
Throw it on a platter say lookee here
I took it with my own red blood

Chorus:
No, you can't make me believe that's right
You're wrong in what you say
You computed your head
While laying in a bed on a bright and sunny day
Full of vermouth while searching for the truth
In a slight haphazard way
Then you told me that the band would play
On a dull and gloomy day
And I know it's not true

Well he got out his toy computer
Little slide rule in green
Started calculation with a bit of fabrication
On a world with his promised dream
Territorial right was what he had to fight
And he said he knew that 'it ain't mine'
But see here now child
We been good everything'll just be fine

He was expending all of his power
They took away one of his toys
And old mother Hubbard was running around
Saying what have you done to my boys
With your nice clean clothes
You're playing in the mud
You don't listen to my advice
Now sit here and get in this house
And watch the cat go looking for mice
Well I hope to God that that woman's right
She's right in what she say



Dream Queen

How I hate to leave you
How I hate to see you go
I feel so down without you
Dying surely couldn't get this low
But the minute that we're together
I can't think of anything other than you
Looking in your eyes, totally surprised
Far out on the limb, not another whim for you.

Do you miss me sometimes?
Do you miss me in the night?
Do you read the moonbeams making tasseled silver light?
And quicksilver's densely viscous
Compared to the time it takes to get to you.
Figure I can fly
Never been so high
Catch you from above
You know that I'm in love with you

Dream queen, how you seem to shine
Poised and lovely woman mine
Sitting on your doorstep
Waiting for your footsteps to come around
People passing by me
I could be entirely drowned
And you know I heard you call
And suddenly I joined the ball for you
Not a petty thrill, forget your little pill
Come and be my mate, then we'll celebrate
One in two

Sitting on your doorstep
Waiting for your footsteps to come round
People passing by me I could be entirely drowned
And you know I heard you call
And suddenly I joined the ball for you
Figure I could fly, never been so high
Catch me from above, you know that I'm in love with you



It's A Beautiful Morning

Oh well I woke me up this morning in a happy way
And I turned right over and I thought I'd say
But you beat me to it you read my thoughts
And you didn't say a word but that was enough
It's a beautiful morning
What a glorious day it is
A beautiful morning and I hope it stays that way
So we can go on out and play

And we're in England oh the land of I'm all right Jack
Where Connie's in control, so is Interpol
And 50,000 workers got the sack
And I don't care about any or all of that
I'm living my life and I'm loving the fact
That I'm livin and it's a gas
And then I'll think about the beauty
That is in the air
'Cause that's about all that's left for which I care
It's a beautiful morning
What a glorious day it is
A beautiful morning and I hope it stays that way
So we can go on out and play


Lady Of The Blue Rose

Lady, like a blue rose, soft and clear, you glow
Woman, are you coming home?
You know that I could love you so
I'd never make you go
Lady, of the blue rose
In your time be mine
I saw you from years ago
I've told the truth
And now you know
You told me it was so

Lady, for a blue rose, will you share my life?
Stars are born and then they die
And I know that we could learn to fly
For love can never die

The blue rose in the garden
That someday may exist
The blue rose of the legend
That task of nature's twist
The blue rose of a heaven
That's deep within our souls
The blue rose of our union
The one that I behold, I behold, I behold

Lady, see the blue rose
Make it shine for you
Close your eyes and you will see
And it will show you how to be
And to care for me

Lady, you're my blue rose
You're the only one
Share this gift that we two have
For all that need and cannot have
For that may never pass by
