If you dont mind.
Well, he signals me okay
CASTLES MADE OF SAND So I think its safe to say
Im gonna make a play
Down the street you can hear her scream youre a discrace,
as she slams the door in his drunken face
And now he stands outside and all the neighbours start to gossip BOLD AS LOVE
and drool
He cries oh girl, you must be mad, what happened to the sweet
love you and me had? Anger he smiles, towering in shiny metallic purple armour
Against the door he leans and starts a scene, and his tears Queen Jealousy, envy waits behind him
fall and burn the garden green Her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground
Blue are the life-giving waters taken for granted,
And so castles made of sand fall in the sea, eventually they quietly understand
Once happy turquoise armies lay opposite ready,
A little Indian brave, but wonder why the fight is on
who before he was ten played war games in the woods with his But theyre all bold as love, yes, theyre all bold as love
Indian friends yeah, theyre all bold as love
And he built a dream that when he grew up he would be a Just ask the Axis
fearless warrior Indian Chief
Many moons passed and more the dream grew strong, My red is so confident that he flashes trophies of war and ribbons
until tomorrow he would sing his first war song and fight his first of euphoria
battle Orange is young, full of daring,
But something went wrong, surprise attack killed him in his sleep but very unsteady for the first go round
that night My yellow in this case is not so mellow
In fact Im trying tosay its frightened like me
And so castles made of sand, melts into the sea, eventually And all these emotions of mine keep holding me from, eh,
giving my life to a rainbow like you
There was a young girl, whose heart was a frown Well Im eh, yeah, Im bold as love
cause she was crippled for life, and she couldnt speak a sound Yeah, yeah
And she wished and prayed she could stop living, so she decided to Well Im bold, bold as love (hear me talking, girl)
die Im bold as love
She drew her wheel chair to the edge of the shore, Just ask the Axis (he knows everything)
and to her legs she smiled you wont hurt me no more Yeah, yeah, yeah
But then a sight shed never seen made her jump and say, Yeah
Look, a golden winged ship is passing my way ELECTRIC LADYLAND
And it really didnt have to stop, it just kept on going
And so castles made of sand, slips into the sea, eventually HAVE YOU EVER BEEN (TO ELECTRICLADYLAND)

BURNING OF THE MIDNIGHT LAMP Oh say, can you see its really such a mess
Every inch of Earth is a fighting nest
Giant pencil and lipstick tube shaped things,
The morning is dead and the day is too Continue to rain and cause screaming pain
Theres nothing left here to lead me, but the velvet moon And the arctic stains from silver blue to bloody red
All my loneliness I have felt today as our feet find the sand,
Its a little more than enough to make a man throw himself away and the sea is straight ahead, straight up ahead
And I continue to burn the Midnight Lamp, alone
Well its too bad that our friends, cant be with us today
Now the smiling portrait of you Well its too bad
is still hanging on my frowning wall The machine, that we built,
It really doesnt, it really doesnt bother me too much at all would never save us, thats what they say
Its just the eh ever falling dust that makes it so hard for me to see (Thats why they aint coming with us today)
That forgotten earring laying on the floor And they also said its impossible for a man to live and breathe
Facing coldly towards the door under
And I continue to burn the Midnight Lamp, all alone water, forever,
Burn! was their main complaint
Yeah, yeah And they also threw this in my face, they said:
Lonely, lonely, lonely Anyway, you know good and well it would be beyond the will of
Loneliness is such a drag! God,
and the grace of the King (grace of the King)
So here I sit to face that same old fireplace (Yeah, yeah)
Getting ready for the same old explosion
Going through my mind So my darling and I make love in the sand,
And soon enough the time will tell to salute the last moment ever on dry land
About the circus in the wishing well Our machine, it has done its work, played its part well
And someone who will buy and sell for me Without a scratch on our bodies and we bid it farewell
Someone who will toll my bell Starfish and giant foams greet us with a smile
And I continue to burn the same old lamp, alone Before our heads go under we take a last look at the killing noise
Yeah Of the out of style, the out of style, out of style(oooh)...
Darling, can you hear me calling you?
So lonely
Gotto blow my mind MOON, TURN THE TIDES . . . GENTLY GENTLY AWAY
Yeah, yeah
Lonely, lonely . . .
So down and down and down and down and down and down we go
Hurry my darling we mustnt be late for the show
RAINY DAY, DREAM AWAY Neptune champion games to an aqua world is so very dear
Right this way! smiles a mermaid I can hear Atlantis full of cheer
Atlantis full of cheer, I can hear Atlantis full of cheer
Hey man,

Well get into something real nice, you know Someones house is burning down down down down down down
So just lay back and groove on a rainy day down . . .
Yeah...yeah I see what you mean brother, Well, I asked my friend, Where is that black smoke coming from?
lay back and groove He just coughed and changed the subject and said,
Oh well, I think it might snow some.
Rainy Day, Dream Away, So I left him sipping his tea,
let the sun take a holiday And I jumped in my chariot and rode off to see
Flowers bathe and-eh see the children play Just why and who could it be this time.
Lay back and groove on a Rainy Day Sisters and brothers, daddies, mothers standing round cryin.
Well I can see a bunch of wet preachers, When I reached the scene the flames were making a gostly whine
look at them on the run! So I stood on my horses back
The carnival traffic noise, And I screamed without a crack
it sinks to a splashing I said: Oh baby why did you burn your brothers house down?
Even the ducks can groove, Look at the sky turn a hell-fire red, Lord
rain bathing in the parkside pool Someones house is burning down down down down
And Im leaning out my window sill digging everything, Look at the sky turn a hell-fire red, Lord
and-eh you too! Someones house is burning down down down down down . . .
Rainy day, rain all day Well, someone stepped from the croud
Aint no use in gettin uptight He was nineteen miles high
Just let it groove its own way He shouts, Were tired and disgusted,
Let it drain your worries away So we paint red through the sky.
Lay back and groove on a rainy day (hey) I said, The truth is straight ahead
Lay back and dream on a rainy day So dont burn yourself instead
Try to learn instead of burn
Hear what I say.
1983. . . (A MERMAN I SHOULD TURN TO BE) So I finally rode away
But Ill never forget that day
Cause when I reached the valley
Hurrah, I awake from yesterday I looked down across the way
Alive, but the war is here to stay A giant boat from space landed with eerie grace
So my love, Catherina and me, And came and taketh all the dead away.
decide to take our last walk through the noise to the sea Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Not to die but to reborn, What do I say?
away from lands so battered and torn Look at the sky turn a hell-fire red, Lord
Forever, forever Someones house is burning down down down down
Look at the sky turn a hell-fire red, Lord

Someones house is burning down down down down You know they got pills for ills and thrills and even spills,
Look at the sky . . . but I think youre just a little too late
So Im coming down into this world, Daddy,
regardless of love and hate
ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER And Im gonna sit up in your bed, Mama (huh),
and just a-grin right in your face
And then Im gonna eat up all your choclates (huh),
"There must be some kind of way out of here," and say I hope Im not too late
said the joker to the thief,
"There's too much confusion, So if theres any questions,
I can't get no relief. make up your mind
Businessmen they drink my wine, Cause you better give or take
plowmen dig my earth questions in your mind
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth" Give it a take,
you only got two hundred days
"No reason to get excited,"
the thief, he kindly spoke Way up into this womb,
"There are many here among us looking all around
who feel that life is but a joke Sures dark in here!
But you and I, we've been through that And Im looking out my Belly Button Window
and this is not our fate And I swear I see nothing but a lot of frowns
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late" And Im wondering if they want me around . . .
How long
do you
ROOM FULL OF MIRRORS think he is gonna last
carryin' out on a gas (?)
I used to live in a Room Full of Mirrors See all the others say
All I could see was me "do what you please"
Then I take my spirit and I smash my mirrors Gotta get the brothers together
And now the whole world is here for me to see and the right to be free

I think I see me a freak
A broken glass was solvin my brain
