Whirlpool Mushroom Cloud Rhythm of Hearts Kingdom of the Lonely No Choice Gardens of Stone Scratch and Claw Lost in a Maze Time Bomb Said and Done Time Has Its Reasons Mr. Nothing Snake Eyes Outer Space |
Lyrics: Paul Allen
Music: Paul Allen The curl of a whirlpool in the corner of your thoughts Voice behind the static on the radio at night You heard it as a child on your way home from school Just a hint of feedback that grows into a scream Watch a crystal snowflake that melts in the sun It glows for an instant then its rainbow is gone Tremble of an earthquake that rattles your bones Quiet sting of heartache that makes you moan The smell of something burning somewhere on your floor Right around the corner or it could be next door You can hear a pounding and it isn’t far away Can’t reach the phone to keep the wolves at bay You're stuck behind the wheel with nowhere to drive Threads of an illusion keep you alive Fingers are still moving as they tap on the keys The song that writes itself or so you believe
Too late now remind me
Lyrics: Paul Allen/Terry Davison
Music: Paul Allen/Terry Davison/Marc Willett/Mike Chadderton/Rick Boice/Eric Robison Once upon a time long ago sweet sunshine Last summer dance thunderstorm first romance Seems my life is flyin’ fast, Faces, names drifting past Deeds were done and stories told Now the fire is growing cold Slow down the seasons Heartache is strong Time has its reasons
Oh willow tree hear it cry but not for me
Seems my life is flyin’ fast couldn’t make the good times last
Lyrics: Paul Allen
Music: Terry Davison I was born without much charm Set off every false alarm Combed my slick hair back No one would cut me a bit of slack Everything I do may seem wrong But my heart, my heart beats strong
Every job is a pointless trap
Underestimate me if you want
Words and music by Paul Allen
The way you roll those snake eyes I see trouble down the line When you roll those snake eyes You can hear your mama cry
You shake those snake hips
You’re fast asleep
You walk thru hot coals
Words and music by Paul Allen
Don’t you wish it was a pretty picture What is takin’ place out there All the screamin’ and the fighting Don’t seem to leave us anywhere When it looks like some things are better Half the rest take a turn for the worse If our vision were any clearer We could imagine peace on earth Peace on Earth
But it’s tooth and nail scratch and claw
Some wait for divine intervention
Lyrics: Terry Davison
Music: Paul Allen/Terry Davison/Marc Willett/Mike Chadderton/Rick Boice/Eric Robison Maybe now you get your wish Put your money where your mouth is. Turn my brain into a jellyfish Tell all my friends about it. I lost what the meaning was Now you hurt me just because Sometimes your torture is such fun I don’t mind call me when it’s said and done.
Yeah call me when it’s said and done.
If you want me to feel some pain
Yeah call me when it’s said and done.
Lyrics: Paul Allen
Music: Paul Allen/Terry Davison I remember your warmth next to me The sound of your breathing, like the sea
Was it so long ago, that rhythm of hearts
At the end of the road, I see you standing there
Was it so long ago, that rhythm of hearts
That rhythm of, that rhythm of, that rhythm of hearts.
Words and Music by Paul Allen & Terry Davison
Yesterday another letter, when I walked in the door I’ll add it to the many others you sent me before. You don't have to draw a picture I know what you mean The only thing that really matters Is in your dreams You are the lucky one, I’m just the sorry fool You’ll have the ever after, I will have nothing to do When you’re in paradise, I’ll be in outer space When you fall in that black hole, I’ll be a shooting star
From your description I see the vision, I think I understand
Lyrics: Paul Allen and Terry Davison
Music: Paul Allen/Terry Davison/Mike Chadderton/Marc Willett/Eric Robison/Rick Boice Have we lost control over what we say and do Wrapped around a finger, I had to be your fool. You spin your web of silver dust, I can’t find my voice. Nothing left what could I do I had no choice. I had no choice I had no choice
Lyrics: Paul Allen
Music: Paul Allen/Terry Davison/Pat Hewitt/Mike Chadderton My sweet mushroom cloud My sweet mushroom cloud Shelters are full, laughing out loud All of the generals are part of the plan Treaties are over. To hell with test bans
Millions have planned and worked for this day
Pillars of fire, rivers of tears
Load neutron warheads in the bomb bay
Radioactive alpha decay
Lyrics: Paul Allen
Music: Paul Allen/Terry Davison Gardens of stone Ghosts that walk there alone In the moonlight we’ll see All that’s meant to be Desert holds the sky The river's flood has run dry But the sun gives us light Morning follows the night Falling star you have come to earth And you are home at last Falling star you have brought us here Out of the past Carry their souls Out of this garden of stone Remember a smile Not journey’s longest mile There’s time to build Hopes left unfulfilled So raise up your eyes To Heaven’s glorious skies
Lyrics: Paul Allen
Music: Paul Allen/Terry Davison In the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king I thought I had an answer , but I did not know a thing. In the streets and in the sky, the wind whistles and sighs. Wipe away the memories , blot out all the lies. In the restaurants and bars, people laugh and pass the time. Waiting for the moment, it’s too late to define. Skyscrapers tower over the dirty streets and smog. Walk alone in quiet, hidden in the fog The last place you will find me, As the sun sinks down behind me The last place you have shown me, Is the kingdom, the kingdom of the lonely You can touch my heart, you can make it race But the minute you are gone, the joy is out of place The fire flutters like a leaf, warm and bright at night It burns away the hurt, but it cannot shine the light I hold you by the hand, then you slip away Every move we make is clear. As clear as night and day. In the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. I thought I saw too deep, but I was blind to everything. Chorus
Words and Music by Paul Allen
I’m lost, lost in a maze Walkin’ around day after day in a haze Can’t, can’t find my way out I’m stricken, I’m stricken with millions of doubts Every time I turn around Am I lost or am I found I’m lost, lost in a maze Wonderin’ wonderin’ what will be the next phase In the middle of the deep blue sea Don’t know what’s in store for me I’m lost Fragments, fragments of dreams Putting the pieces together isn’t easy as it seems If I get another chance Gonna break out of this trance I'm lost, I'm lost, I'm lost Lost in a maze I'm lost, lost in a maze
Lyrics: Marc Willett
Music: Paul Allen/Terry Davison/Marc Willett/Mike Chadderton/Rick Boice/Eric Robison History shapes the way things are But not your point of view If you would reach for distant stars You’ll need some different shoes Did you say “that’s just too long a shot?” That life’s secure when tethered to one spot Just cut and fade to black Mr. Nothing Live a slave to broken dreams And keep ambitions meek Or leap with faith across the stream To claim the prize you seek Did you say “that’s just too long a shot?” That life’s secure when tethered to one spot Just cut and fade to black Mr. Nothing The gate stands open wide the road is yours to run When doubts are cast aside your battles will be won
