Grasshopper 05:01
--flags are flying in the wind, grasshoppers and crows, and mountain li-ons. scratch at the window, in a child's dream. the children are sleeping in a quiet room. all these nightmares, from the world. do not enter this room, do not enter this room. battle ships in the gloom, fight lost battles, in old movies. --we chase streets cars, to horizons, grasshoppers and crows, and mountain lions. gods and jihadists lost in school rooms. gods and jihadists lost in school rooms. all these storms that make landslides. rivers and kings in paradise. scratch at windows, in a child's dream. but tell them please, don't enter, this room. --children sleeping in a quiet room. dream that the world turns, around the moon. and we chace streetcars of dsire. grasshoppers and crows, and mountain lions.

Richie , meet me down at the cemetery. you know witch monument, the dead child, and the mother weeping. your secret kiss and your secret smile. hold me close for a while. i'll see you tomorrow afternoon, after class i'll walk you home from school. --all of the light in your eyes fills my heart and fills my mind i love to touch you, and to see your handsome face when your talkin to to me. Richie, who do you love, Richie. tell me you love me, tell me you love me, i'll see you tomorrow afternoon, after class i'll walk you home from school. --all of the light in your eyes fills my heart and fills my mind i love to touch you, and to see your handsome face when your talkin to to me. Richie , meet me down at the cemetery. you know witch monument, the dead child, and the mother weeping.

Silver Clown 04:36
Rocky was old, and the rocky road was his life, a smile in a knife, freed to bleed into the town. the stores were full of blood and oranges. -- he walked around like a silver clown, lost in a town of invisibles the clock was stuck at 13 ..a fool juggled oranges. Rocky was hard when saw the boy 24 that was all just 24 and that kid liked the way that man danced across the street to shake his hand he looked around at the old town that boy had to laugh that clock was stuck at 16 an old man eating oranges

Johnny came back to me, on a rainy day in November like something i'd forgotten, and couldn't quite remember. the apartment was freezing and playing on the radio an old tune out of season about a Summer afternoon look at me again Johnny, look in my eyes ... you fill my mind Johnny, but i barely remember you. when the clocks strikes 5, i have to go to work it's just a job. make yourself at home i hope you spend the night i hate sleeping alone some where over the rainbow was that the song you sang to me that night in New York when you did that show but you've come back to me, on a rainy day in November yes Johnny came back to me, Johnny came back to me.

out of memories you walked in to my life, to my life out of the elevator, and i said "it's you" walking down the hall, walking down the hall -hold me tight, through the long night angles and prophets will arise on rainbow wings, and in your dreams, i'll kiss you, and sing a lullaby all the illusions that i'd lost like ships on the horizon, ships on the horizon almost lost and storm tossed but you walked down the hall to me. -a river flows, in your dark eyes a choir sings, and your shy smile makes me dream, through the ling night. rain on the window, "hold me tight"

Winter Song 04:00
liberty and peace of mind sanity and wealth beyond belief an old story from a blind belief in glory, belief in time raise a fist or try to hide build a better wall to hide behind better find another time another window, a new mind what price sanity sanity and what you find rivers flowing in your mind cars that run away from time old man comes down the road singing mad songs singing mad songs on the radio tv princes wears old clothes on the pretty tv show asking questions we don't know asking questions we don't know
