Bridges and rivers
And buildings pulled down
Time spent in places my footsteps had found
Mirrors in ballrooms lie smashed on the ground,
Walking with November mists...

Pathways and windows
And movies in May
Quiet old ladies who soon pass away
Paintings and songs

You came to watch the band
to see us play our parts
We hoped you'd lend an ear,
You hope we dress like tarts
But back stage we stand naked
All the make-up cleaned away,
My poet sheds his pretty skin
And turns to face the day
And there's nothing to be done,
No

Hand me my costume,
Please won't you pass me my mask...?
I have appointments that I must keep with my past...
Bring on the cabaret, we can all have a laugh...
I've made the theatre of the absurd at last.

Drink up and let's go home...
The demon is on the phone...
He'

Between the worlds are pearls
Around your lily white neck
So round, profound all shining beads of sweat
I know my way 'round your throat like a knife
I'll silver and steel you away to my island of sea jade
Crazy

Life a a love affair
All the girls declare it so

God drives a dreamless highway in a black sedan
Picking up survivors preaching to the motel man

Blazing apostles thieves in the night
Messengers of the fall...
If you are needing an angel of light
Why don't you give us a call?

I've been up all night
It's been down so long
There's a fire in my heart
If you feel the same won't you feed my flame
You can help bring back the spark

Bring back the spark
You can bring it back
Bring back the spark
You can bring it back

You've been killin

Crying to the sky... searching for a silver lining
Hoping that the clouds I'm climbing aren't hiding rain
Nowhere left to go...
For every show now disappoints me...
Still the ghost of love-lost haunts me till my dying day
I coudl fly away...
Over this river of tears...

The man who owneed the heartache
That lived on the stairs...
Passed me in the night whistling "Memories of You"...

A stared to frightened to move
For fear my eyes shown a light
On the darkness he drew like a cloak
All around his shoulders...

Burning….My love for you is burning
Yearning for the day when I'm returning
All alone…I wonder if you're all alone

Moonlight…You're dancing in the moonlight
All-night…I want to hold you all night
All alone…I wonder if you're all alone

When will this journey be through

It's after midnight in the city of broken dreams
Down in the alley, Galileo meets his pack of thieves
Over the river, by the old hotel
There's a big car coming like a bat out of hell
It's the dangerous stranger in his ghostly limousine

You get the feeling that he's running

Darkness, you are my priestess
Darkness, you are my pride
My night in shining armour,
Disarmer of every tide
That swept the beaches clean of starfish
A death-wish to my kind
Helpless, heedless, selfish, needless to say
It's no surprise
You're with me most every ni

I Speak To You Through Electrical Language
Sometimes You Hear Me When Our Frequencies Meet
You Try To Listen But You Don't Understand It
Turn Up The Rhythm And You'll Pick Up The Beat

(Repeat)

Here we come in a cloud stars in our eyes
Standing up proud it's the perfect disguise
We've got so much to give, so much to gain
Just give me your money, and I'll give you my pain
It's a fair exchange (fair exchange)

Now Tia Maria, she leans on the wall
Looks in the mir

Forbidden lovers
We hid our hearts beneath the stars
Under the covers
In midnight rooms and shining cars
I gladly came to taste your pain
A love insane on a crazy night

Forbidden lovers. A secret message on the 'phone
Heaven's above us and Hell's below, so I am told

The stars are burning
And the moon is shining bright,
The world is turning underneath
This canopy of night...
Somewhere tomorrow warms the distance
With the light of dawn
You yawn, my love
Your eyes are growing tired
The dawn must come although we will deny it

I wonder if you're all alone
Beneath those diamond stars
A honeymoon on Mars
Tonight this desert world is ours
I'll meet you by the towers
For cocktails in the bar

Martian honeymoon, we're going out there in July
Martian honeymoon, we'll watch the passing show go by

Sometimes a film
Sometimes a photograph
Sometimes a rose
Sometimes a looking glass
Enchanter of souls
Your dreams still unfold

Sometimes a child
Sometimes a tradgedy
Sometimes a truth
Sometimes a fantasy
Enchanter of souls
Your dreams still unfold

Out across the heavens
When you're sleeping in your bed,
Someone turns a light on,
Can you feel it burn inside your head?
Floating out your window
On the streams of purest sound,
Can you see the town
In midnight eiderdown
Wrapped in your dressing gown and robed

Woke this morning the war was over
The radio was singing love songs
Saw the smiles upon the soldiers,
Coming home across the fields
The calendar said first of August
Romance and promises of summer days,
I strolled unclothed into the garden
To feel the warm sun on my f
