Are we breathing out
Or breathing in
Are we leaving life
Or moving in
Exploding out
Imploding in
Ingrained in good
Or stained in sin
Are we breathing out
Or breathing in
Are we leaving life
Or moving in
Are we breathing out
Or breathing in
Are we breathing in
We are a billion fragments
Exploding outward
Like broken glass, we damage
Even in defeat
We are tiny peices
Falling now and settling
Like snowflake crystal
Building on the city street
Snowflakes falling
Snowflakes falling
Snowflakes falling
Snowflakes falling
Are we the parts
Are we the whole
Are we the thoughts
Are we the soul
The parts of me
And this is true
The parts of me
Belong to you
Are we breathing out
Or breathing in
Are we leaving life
Or moving in
Exploding out
Imploding in
Ingrained in good
Or stained in sin
Are we the parts
Are we the whole
Are we the thoughts
Are we the soul
The parts of me
And this is true
The parts of me
The parts of you
Belong to you
And you
And you
And you...

A Man In A Purple Dress
How dare you wear robes and reside
How dare you cover your head to hide
Your face from God
How dare you smile from behind your beard
To hide the fact that your hearts are feared
And wave your rod
How dare you be the one to assess
Me in this godforsaken mess
You, a man in a purple dress
A man in a purple dress
When you place your frown
Between my God and prayer
However grand your crown
Or dignified your hair
Men above men all prats
In your high hats
You priest, you mullah so high
You pope, you wise rabbi
You're invisible to me
Like vapor from the sea
I lovingly mock you noble lords
We all dress up to grand awards
I do that as well
I dare condemn your fashion sense
At least you're not astride the fence
That wouldn't sell
But I will deliver this address
Your souls conditioned don't impress
You, a man in a purple dress
A man in a purple dress
How dare you cover your head to hide
Your face from God
How dare you smile from behind your beard
To hide the fact that your hearts are feared
And wave your rod
How dare you be the one to assess
Me in this godforsaken mess
You, a man in a purple dress
A man in a purple dress
When you place your frown
Between my God and prayer
However grand your crown
Or dignified your hair
Men above men all prats
In your high hats
You priest, you mullah so high
You pope, you wise rabbi
You're invisible to me
Like vapor from the sea
I lovingly mock you noble lords
We all dress up to grand awards
I do that as well
I dare condemn your fashion sense
At least you're not astride the fence
That wouldn't sell
But I will deliver this address
Your souls conditioned don't impress
You, a man in a purple dress
A man in a purple dress

Mike Post Theme
We're not strong enough
We're not young enough
We're not alone enough, or cold enough
Emotionally we're not even old enough
Late at night, we're in a video-game dream
There is no lover in this numbered scene
We summon every childhood ghost we've ever seen
Then suddenly we hear that Mike Post theme
Everything is all right (bong de bong)
We've prayed today (la-da-da-da-dah)
Everything is OK (bong de bong)
We've played today
Late at night on the underground train
Through endless suburbs in endless pain
Then deep in the tunnel under the London rain
Suddenly we hear Mike Post again
Everything is all right (bong de bong)
We've prayed today (la-da-da-da-dah)
If there really is a God (dong de bong)
We should be laid today
We watch those films
That make men cry
Young lovers kiss
Then fight and die
We start to yearn
We climb the vine
We have to face
The truth some time
We're not strong enough
We're not young enough
We're not alone enough, or cold enough
Emotionally we're not even old enough
For love...
But late at night we find the racing tame
We're faced with women and a reality game
We feel alive; we feel new and blind
We're hearing Mike Post in the air this time
Everything is all right (bong de bong)
We've prayed today (la-da-da-da-dah)
If there really is a God (dong de bong)
We should get laid today
There comes a time in every little punk's life
Where he has to right a song for his common-law wife
We make our women wait until they wanna scream
But we can always whistle that Mike Post theme
Everything is all right (bong de bong)
We've prayed today (la-da-da-da-dah)
If there really is a God (dong de bong)
We should get laid today
We watch those films
That make men cry
Young lovers kiss
Then fight and die
We start to yearn
We climb the vine
We have to face
The truth some time
We're not young enough
We're not alone enough, or cold enough
Emotionally we're not even old enough
Late at night, we're in a video-game dream
There is no lover in this numbered scene
We summon every childhood ghost we've ever seen

In The Ether
In the ether
I hang suspended
I wait for you
And I know you're near
In this high heaven
My world's upended
I feel no passion
I feel no fear
I'm dizzy with love
But you never appear
In the gloom of this room
Of this cell down here
I know this place
Isn't truly real
And that like my love
It expands and sprays
The light will find me
Will bend toward me
Yet I'm marooned
In a billion days
I'm drunk with you
And I can't explain
Who or where I am
Or how I'm in pain
Rocking and rocking me
Rhythm is shocking me
Just like a child in your fist
You are knocking me
Rocking and rocking
Autistic, caged I am
Rocking and rocking
And rocking enraged
I am drunk with you
And I can't explain
Who or where I am
Or how I'm in pain
In the ether
In the ether
In the ether
I wait for you
Hanging in this mist
That I know's unreal
There is nothing there
There's no you, no me
Even though it's crazy
I still appeal
This is heavenly hell
I appear insane
I have no idea
Who there is to blame
I hang suspended
I wait for you
And I know you're near
In this high heaven
My world's upended
I feel no passion
I feel no fear
I'm dizzy with love
But you never appear
In the gloom of this room
Of this cell down here
I know this place
Isn't truly real
And that like my love
It expands and sprays
The light will find me
Will bend toward me
Yet I'm marooned
In a billion days
I'm drunk with you
And I can't explain
Who or where I am
Or how I'm in pain
Rocking and rocking me
Rhythm is shocking me
Just like a child in your fist
You are knocking me
Rocking and rocking
Autistic, caged I am
Rocking and rocking
And rocking enraged
I am drunk with you
And I can't explain
Who or where I am
Or how I'm in pain
In the ether
In the ether
In the ether
I wait for you
Hanging in this mist
That I know's unreal
There is nothing there
There's no you, no me
Even though it's crazy

I have no idea
Who there is to blame

Black Widows Eyes
You jumped out of an alley
With surprise in your black widow's eyes
I was prepared to be unprepared
Been preparing for lights
I fell right in love with you
Into a thousand parts I blew
I fell right in love with you
I was caught in a corner
He recoiled from a broken romance
Taking breath after once undead
I had a firm grip on my pants
I fell right in love with you
Through a hundred hearts you flew
I fell right in love with you
Strange that when infatuation calls
We think that we've got real love in our life
It pumps like the pressure in a station hall
As the express train thunders on by
I fell right in love with you
As the blood came blowing through
I fell right in love with you
Across the room
I saw your eyes
Black window looking back at me
You held a gun
As children cried
You touched some wires
They shattered me
I was blown into a blue
There'd been nothing I could do
I fell right in love with you
I rose up to the station
Smelt your scent by the door
You stood waiting so patient
Just one wait, then no more
I fell right in love with you
There'd been nothing I could do
I fell right in love with you
Across the room
I saw your eyes
Black window looking back at me
You held a gun
As children cried
You touched some wires
They shattered me
With surprise in your black widow's eyes
I was prepared to be unprepared
Been preparing for lights
I fell right in love with you
Into a thousand parts I blew
I fell right in love with you
I was caught in a corner
He recoiled from a broken romance
Taking breath after once undead
I had a firm grip on my pants
I fell right in love with you
Through a hundred hearts you flew
I fell right in love with you
Strange that when infatuation calls
We think that we've got real love in our life
It pumps like the pressure in a station hall
As the express train thunders on by

Two Thousand Years
Two thousand years
Two thousand years
Two thousand years
Two thousand years
Have I waited
To ask if I have loved you
To know if I have served you
To find if I've obeyed you
To know if I've betrayed you
Two thousand years
Two thousand years
Two thousand years
Two thousand years
Two thousnad years
Have I waited
Then find I can't be perfect
Not even a perfect snake
To know that we are hated
You suffer for my sake
Two thousand years
Two thousand years
Two thousand years
Two thousand years
Have I waited
And so I have a chance to love
As you intended
You really lived and died for me
Is the waiting really ended
Two thousand years
Long, long years
Long, long, long, long years
I have waited
Two thousand long, long years
Two thousand long, long years
Two thousand long, long years
Two thousand long, long years
Two thousand long, long years
Two thousand long, long years
Two thousand years
Two thousand years
Two thousand years
Have I waited
To ask if I have loved you
To know if I have served you
To find if I've obeyed you
To know if I've betrayed you
Two thousand years
Two thousand years
Two thousand years
Two thousand years
Two thousnad years
Have I waited
Then find I can't be perfect
Not even a perfect snake
To know that we are hated
You suffer for my sake
Two thousand years
Two thousand years
Two thousand years
Two thousand years
Have I waited
And so I have a chance to love
As you intended
You really lived and died for me
Is the waiting really ended
Two thousand years
Long, long years
Long, long, long, long years

Two thousand long, long years
Two thousand long, long years
Two thousand long, long years
Two thousand long, long years
Two thousand long, long years
Two thousand long, long years

God Speaks Of Marty Robbins
And when the world began
I'd been asleep forever
I opened one eye
'Twas then it was I
Got the whim to wake
And when the weight of space
Rolled like it was an ocean
One became one
Father and son
Watched the sunrise break
And as the ocean warmed
And from this dream we woke
One sang to greet the dawn
One pursed his lips and spoke
Wake up and hear the music
Wake up and hear the music play
Wake up and hear the music
Wake up and hear what the people say
I heard the heavens sing
Predicting Marty Robbins
I knew I'd find
Music and time
Were the perfect plan
I watched my son sail on
A little ship a-bobbin'
I had to grow
I needed to know
Exactly who I am
And as the ocean warmed
And from this dream we woke
One sang to greet the dawn
One pursed his lips and spoke
Wake up and hear the music
Wake up and hear the music play
Wake up and hear the music
Wake up and hear what the people say
Wake up and hear the music
Wake up and hear the music play
Wake up and hear the music
Wake up and hear what the people say
I'd been asleep forever
I opened one eye
'Twas then it was I
Got the whim to wake
And when the weight of space
Rolled like it was an ocean
One became one
Father and son
Watched the sunrise break
And as the ocean warmed
And from this dream we woke
One sang to greet the dawn
One pursed his lips and spoke
Wake up and hear the music
Wake up and hear the music play
Wake up and hear the music
Wake up and hear what the people say
I heard the heavens sing
Predicting Marty Robbins
I knew I'd find
Music and time
Were the perfect plan
I watched my son sail on
A little ship a-bobbin'

I needed to know
Exactly who I am
And as the ocean warmed
And from this dream we woke
One sang to greet the dawn
One pursed his lips and spoke
Wake up and hear the music
Wake up and hear the music play
Wake up and hear the music
Wake up and hear what the people say
Wake up and hear the music

Its Not Enough
It's not enough
Whatever you give
A little bit more
You always need
A little more man
A little more seed
It's not enough
It's not enough
Whatever I give
It's never enough
I gave you cash
I gave you love
All that I heard
Was "It's Not Enough"
I work so hard
It gets so tough
Whatever I give
Never feels like enough
It's not enough
It's not enough
Whatever I give
It's never enough
When I'm on my knees
I keep taking your stuff
Make sure that you know
It's never enough
You said you'd go as far
As to turn to my friend
Who once warned me of you
Said you'd hasten my end
Because I have lent
Every ounce of my juice
My essence is spent
You'll always want
A little more pink
I'll always need
A little more ink
It's not enough
It's not enough
Whatever I give
It's never enough
However I praise
However I puff
Though you may smile
It won't be enough
Right at the end
When I start to bluff
An' the lift's going down
An' I start acting tough
It's not enough
It's not enough
Whatever I give
It's never enough
I'll find someone else
To finish filling me up
I'll smile and admit
You were never quite enough
Like Brigitte Bardot
In Godard's Les Mepris
I can't love you enough
To make you complete
You appear in my dreams
With some new courtier
You need me there to see
What you need to convey
It's not enough
It's not enough
Whatever I give
It'll never be enough
No hysterical scene
You will never play rough
I'm the one who will scream
But it won't be enough
It's never enough
It's never enough
It's not enough
It's not enough
Whatever I give
It'll never be enough
I'll never hold you
How can I scold you?
It's not enough
It's not enough
Whatever I give
It'll never be enough
Whatever you give
A little bit more
You always need
A little more man
A little more seed
It's not enough
It's not enough
Whatever I give
It's never enough
I gave you cash
I gave you love
All that I heard
Was "It's Not Enough"
I work so hard
It gets so tough
Whatever I give
Never feels like enough
It's not enough
It's not enough
Whatever I give

Sound Round
I'm young in my camper van
The world feels old and new
I fear the future man
As I take in the view
Don't know where to head now
Give up? Go back?
My friends are all dead now
Or stifled in the sack
Sound round,
Feel the ground
Feel the pulse
We have found
Breathe in
Feel the spin
Where's the dream
That we were in?
Sound round,
Feel the ground
Feel the pulse
We have found
The world feels old and new
I fear the future man
As I take in the view
Don't know where to head now
Give up? Go back?
My friends are all dead now
Or stifled in the sack
Sound round,
Feel the ground
Feel the pulse
We have found
Breathe in
Feel the spin
Where's the dream
That we were in?
Sound round,
Feel the ground
Feel the pulse
We have found

Pick Up The Peace
Now I'm in the ether
Look down at time
I see three children
Prepare to walk the line
I see them older
When life is done
I was a loser
At the game they won
Come on let's try
To pick up the peace
You and I
On our hands and knees
Come on let's try
To touch the Fleece
Come on let's try
To pick up the peace
(How do old people forget
That the wars we've seen
Are 'bout me longing for you
You longing for me?)
Look down at time
I see three children
Prepare to walk the line
I see them older
When life is done
I was a loser
At the game they won

Unholy Trinity
Three kids from the neighborhood
Three different lives
Three different ways to be
The identical smiles
We're not the same
But we can talk
We kiss and link our arms
We take a walk
We watch the tide ever way
Carry our ides through the sea
We hear the music
Remember being free
We are unholy trinity
And love forever
But we are the sea
We are the ocean
We are the free
We are unholy trinity
Three different lives
Three different ways to be
The identical smiles
We're not the same
But we can talk
We kiss and link our arms
We take a walk
We watch the tide ever way
Carry our ides through the sea
We hear the music
Remember being free
We are unholy trinity
And love forever
But we are the sea
We are the ocean
We are the free
We are unholy trinity

Trilbys Piano
Your mother loves her brother
But her brother loves his lover
And his lover is my cover
My one and only other - my angel
My angel Trilby
Who said I will be
What I should still be
Genius would fill me - she loves Hymie
Only one Hymie
No one else on earth could ever blind me - like this
Or even find me - such bliss
If you were gone
You'd still be here
Only one Hymie
Why can't they see that life excites me
This boy ignites me
His family fights me
But he's still here
Only one Hymie...
But her brother loves his lover
And his lover is my cover
My one and only other - my angel
My angel Trilby
Who said I will be
What I should still be
Genius would fill me - she loves Hymie
Only one Hymie
No one else on earth could ever blind me - like this
Or even find me - such bliss
If you were gone
You'd still be here
Only one Hymie
Why can't they see that life excites me
This boy ignites me
His family fights me

Endless Wire
We found this pile of paper
Written by that ether man
He hatched a mad old caper
He had a mad old plan
He'd turn us into music
He'd show us to our portals
He gathered wire and angels
To entertain immortals
Out on the endless wire
Written by that ether man
He hatched a mad old caper
He had a mad old plan
He'd turn us into music
He'd show us to our portals
He gathered wire and angels
To entertain immortals
Out on the endless wire

Fragments Of Fragments
Are we breathing out
Or breathing in
Are we leaving life
Or moving on
Are we breathing out
Or breathing in
Are we breathing in
We are tiny pieces
Falling now and settling
Like snowflake crystal
Building on the city street
Snowflakes falling
Snowflakes falling
Snowflakes falling
Snowflakes falling
Are we the parts
Are we the whole
Are we the thoughts
Are we the soul
The parts of me
And this is true
The parts of me
Belong to you

We Got A Hit
We got our folks together
We broke down barriers
We found a dream to dream
We were the carriers
We got rich and famous
Papers at our door
We talked a load of crap
They wanted more
We got a hit
We broke down barriers
We found a dream to dream
We were the carriers
We got rich and famous
Papers at our door
We talked a load of crap
They wanted more
We got a hit

They Made My Dream Come True
People died where I performed
People cried when Glass deformed
Shots rang out as the singer yawned
The band played on until the dawn
Lies and drunks and drugs and fools
Tricks and stunts disguise the tools
Was the victim dead, was the blood in pools
Was this not part of show-biz rules?
They made my dream come true
People cried when Glass deformed
Shots rang out as the singer yawned
The band played on until the dawn
Lies and drunks and drugs and fools
Tricks and stunts disguise the tools
Was the victim dead, was the blood in pools
Was this not part of show-biz rules?
They made my dream come true

Mirror Door
If you don't hear me, how can I tell you
If you don't listen, why should I speak
If you're indifferent, how can I reach you
Just 'cos you're angry don't assume I'm weak
Howling Wolf, and old Link Wray
Dave Van Ronk and Doris Day
Bobby Darin, Brownie McGhee
Elvis, Buddy and Eddie C.
Music makes me, makes me strong
Strong vibrations, make me long
Long for a place where I belong
You will find me in this song.
Who will walk through the mirror door
Will there be music, or will there be war
Will we be rich, or will we be poor
Who will walk through the mirror door
Who will walk through the mirror door
Will there be music, or will there be war
Will we be rich, or will we be poor
Who will walk through the mirror door
A thousand angels, a million children
Fire and fear in a suicide eye
Golden stairway to a Zeppelin heaven
Rolling thunder under New York sky
Frank 'n' Ella, Ray 'What'd I Say'
Johnny Cash and Johnnie Ray
Amadeus and Ludvig Van
Henry, Johann and the doo dah band.
We are here in celebration
This music's gonna make us strong
We climb up high, to the golden station
Curtis Mayfield ain't waiting long
(Get on board...)
Who will walk through the mirror door
Will there be music, or will there be war
Will we be rich, or will we be poor
Who will walk through the mirror door
Who will walk through the mirror door
Will there be music, or will there be war
Will we be rich, or will we be poor
Who will walk through the mirror door
Howling Wolf, and old Link Wray
Dave Van Ronk and Doris Day
Bobby Darin, Brownie McGhee
Elvis, Buddy and Eddie C.
Frank 'n' Ella, Ray 'What'd I Say'
Johnny Cash and Johnnie Ray
Amadeus and Ludvig Van
Henry, Johann and the doo dah band.
Keep on climbing
If you don't listen, why should I speak
If you're indifferent, how can I reach you
Just 'cos you're angry don't assume I'm weak
Howling Wolf, and old Link Wray
Dave Van Ronk and Doris Day
Bobby Darin, Brownie McGhee
Elvis, Buddy and Eddie C.
Music makes me, makes me strong
Strong vibrations, make me long
Long for a place where I belong
You will find me in this song.
Who will walk through the mirror door
Will there be music, or will there be war
Will we be rich, or will we be poor
Who will walk through the mirror door
Who will walk through the mirror door
Will there be music, or will there be war
Will we be rich, or will we be poor
Who will walk through the mirror door
A thousand angels, a million children
Fire and fear in a suicide eye

Tea & Theatre
Will you have some tea
At the theater with me?
We did it all
Didn't we?
Jumped every wall
Instinctively
Unraveled codes
Ingeniously
Wired all the roads
So seamlessly
We made it work
But one of us failed
That makes it so sad
A great dream derailed
One of us - gone
One of us - mad
One of us - me
All of us sad
All of us sad
Lean on my shoulder now
This story is done
It's getting colder now
A thousand songs
Still smolder now
We play them as one
We're older now
All of us sad
All of us free
Before we walk from this stage
Two of us
Will you have some tea
Will you have some tea
At the theater with me
At the theater with me?
We did it all
Didn't we?
Jumped every wall
Instinctively
Unraveled codes
Ingeniously
Wired all the roads
So seamlessly
We made it work
But one of us failed
That makes it so sad
A great dream derailed
One of us - gone
One of us - mad
One of us - me
All of us sad
All of us sad
Lean on my shoulder now
This story is done
It's getting colder now
A thousand songs
Still smolder now
We play them as one
We're older now
All of us sad
All of us free
Before we walk from this stage
Two of us
Will you have some tea
Will you have some tea
At the theater with me
