1.
saw it in the sky that night dropped in the pale moonlight sent by the nameless one looking for a new fixation so walk to the courtyard near and tell me what i oughta hear but i don’t wanna listen to a word you’re saying i just wanna keep on raining until the valley’s full enough to swim…
2.
artemis sits in the courtyard snow in the far-out reaches of the afterglow tying a knot at the end of her bow waiting for apollo to show and when he showed up he played his harp for the fire ants that roam the dark and when her arrow slipped past hit him dead in the calf they laughed and laughed and laughed low, down in the valley can you hear that waking sound? can i be your friend when the war is over? if tomorrow grows white roses underground?
3.
Mercury 02:47
when all your dying dancing days are through who’s going to be the one to pull you out from under the blue? mercury i think soon your day is going to come can’t you see how close you’ve been flying to the sun? summer breeze fruit on the vine makes you believe that the dream is still alive
4.
The Mystic 04:10
the mystic on the mountain top waved her hands and the clouds stopped and a heavy rain fell from the sky and in the valley the people tried to catch it in their mason jars the drops of rain the shooting stars the wild breathing down below that’s when she knew she had to go oh mystic sitting on the hill tell me, do you love me still? or tell me are you soon to leave? like autumn rain and summer breeze i missed it then the sky cleared and suddenly you disappeared and a heavy moon sunk way down low don’t leave me in the afterglow just melt my little hopeless heart and pour me in your mason jar or pull another tarot card and give yourself the sign that you need to see to know what’s already in your soul check the charts how the stars unfold and you can see what you already know maybe i’m just looking for a sign any reason why
5.
there’s a time bomb somewhere in my head i can hear it tick away it almost went off the other day and maybe i’m circling the drain or maybe i’m falling free either way i’m kinda curious to see no more medication no night of the living dead no serotonin pouring out the back of my head and maybe i’m circling the drain or maybe i’m falling free but somethin bout the ride down just don’t feel right to me i got it pretty bad there’s a time bomb somewhere in my room i can hear the floorboard creek it almost went off the other week and maybe i’m circling the drain or maybe i’m falling free i get if you don’t wanna be around to see no more pretty photographs no land of make believe now everybody’s looking how’s it feel to be seen? and maybe i’m circling the drain or maybe i’m falling free but i’m afraid that when i land it’s gonna be the death of me oh no….
6.
in the land of the clouds does it rain underground? are all the days golden? can you hear the angels sing?
7.
The Tide 03:27
technicolor summer and the neon tangled night would you still you still be a friend of mine? tomcat in the alley and the grey moon drifting by and you’re still you’re still oh my lonely mind some of the time some of the…. well i can hear you singing every time that i drive by a basketball hoop halo heat wave, late july and if you come back a ghost could you please haunt me sometime? and we could sing that song and your voice could bleed with mine when i went surfing i went out with the tide and i never came back
8.
Salvation 03:38
past the gate the future waits the water runs the night is breathing and i’m out walking in the moonlight it waits the outer space satellites, an ancient engine burns so bright while comets fly past marble skies and constellations and i, my mortal climb toward sweet salvation walk the winding blocks with drifting thoughts and dream of zion pace the neon scape where mammals scrape determination to ride the slow dive from sweet salvation i don’t wanna waste another day another life ava maria while my eternal sigh tumbles by to the pick up station to ride the rail lines toward sweet salvation
9.
let’s start a band you can play the drums and i’ll sing my songs for the lonely ones and when you’re out of reach and i’m down the line this world just moved to fast you know it left me behind well i feel (baby) like i’m swingin from a vine tryin to keep the peace while you keep the band in time and i feel it coming no, i feel fine…. yeah! some carry roses some carry knives some carry their dream like a torch and the dream never dies well that’s me (baby) fanning to keep the flame alive our days are numbered the seas gonna rise the bluebird at your windowsill disappeared into the night but it’s not leaving no it’s just waiting down the line..
10.
maybe somewhere down the line in the gulf of written time your weary hand will fall to mine and high while silver comets fly a twisting in the gardens heard with no one round to say a word and i’m awakened with a start from dreams too big to fit my heart these animal feelings i describe exist outside my conscious mind but i see moonlit shadows dive and figures swing from vine to vine

about

some carry roses
some carry knives
some carry their dream like a torch
and the dream never dies
