Take a look at the world of tomorrow If you would forget your sorrows You could be there today When you dream of all that you imagine Know that its all in a fashion That will lead you astray Island, island Speaking breaks the eerie silence Its the myna birds that tell us What we came here to say Here and now then With the doctor of the kingdom The hymns are for to sing them You'll feel better this way The paintings are hung while the painters are hanged But you can't read the thoughts from my mind by drawing blood from my veins The flesh is dust now but I'm feeling the same We've been drifting slowly in this direction ever since the big bang Darlin, darlin Who tends this perfect garden? Is it invisible fingers that are just out of frame? Its almost as if we've been put here on this level Where below things are disheveled And above are golden rays Superstitions Have you warned the politicians? Well its all lost in the details on the edge of the page Ashes ashes Divide the earthly masses Behind the Age of Plastic Where we keep our primates

Tonight the lights blur around the edges Tomorrow, tomorrow We've seen the sights like pigeons on the ledges Tomorrow, tomorrow Tonight the words unspoken are in your eyes So many hearts are broken but not in time Turn out the lights and burn around the edges Tomorrow, tomorrow We ate the time like birdseed on the benches Tomorrow, tomorrow Tonight the words unspoken are in your eyes So many hearts are broken but not in time I really don't know why I came here I really don't know why I stayed here Tonight the lights blur around the edges Tomorrow, tomorrow We've seen the sights like pigeons on the ledges Tomorrow, tomorrow

AM/FM, I dream alone Through parking level walls, I seem alone I listen to the songs on the radio I seem alone, I dream alone Those modern girls in elevators Paper mache trees, Perception's Doors I stare at the sky, I feel alive A dog's laugh, pulls me back 2AM on a rainy night I think you bring gray skies, let's turn out the lights The walls are melting fast, we know that this won't last We barely talk, our shadows walk For every chemical, you trade a piece of your heart, it's inevitable The pattern on your soul bends and pulls Down deeper still into the rabbit hole

My tender comrade on the front lines Through the dust of no man's land I still see your silhouette in the night My tender comrade man Barbed wire and trenches separate us But the jokes you told keep my spirits high The wind and the rain may dampen the mood Behind enemy lines

Behind a veil of fog I'm lost and gone I will it to be Supersaturated and in 3-D I lost my way So I took the long way And I found out the hard way But now I'm back among the living I sculpt islands with my bare hands Mountains to sand Worshipped by the very ancients who see All that I've created, up from the sea Meld our minds Absorb more than I can hide Felt every emotion combined Amalgamated, outside of space and time You don’t even know how long I’ve waited here for you

One foot sinking in the graveyard grass Souls worn thin down to brass tacks Each breath could well be my last Pulled into a coffin full of ice Can't stop sinking with the dead man's float I catch my words sticking in the back of my throat Sign the dotted line, that would be all she wrote Building a coffin just my size Beat a dead horse to the glue factory Mausoleum shiver, shiver shaking my knees Hangman's noose got a hold on me Got these silver dollars covering my eyes Is this my final destination nurse? I can't shake off King Tutankhamun's curse Turn after turn for the worse Headed for the grave in the blackest hearse Here lies... This is where we're worse for wear A passing blindness in the glare My numbers up I'm faced with fate I'll have a bite and take the bait The undertaker undertook A rigamortis frozen look Pay the piper, pay the price Rolling Death's final dice In the gallows evermore Refrigerating in the morgue Executioner's metal axe Empty eyes behind a mask Rotting in the satin red Roadkill possum playing dead Reaper points and pulls me close A poison pill and final dose

There's no time for such a word There's no time for such a word There's no time to sleep or eat or drink But we need to do it anyway There's no time to be born, or live or die It always ends the same And if you can't find the time The time will find you There's no time to listen too There's no time to listen too There's no time to blink or breathe or think But we do it anyway There's no time to relax, fill the tank with gas It always end the same And if you can't find the time The time will find you

I have dotted every ‘i’ And we have crossed under every streetlamp Till the last syllable of recorded time If you're still listening When it comes down to it What did you expect? When it comes down to it Did you think I could forget? About you I am caught up in your eyes And we have kissed under every streetlamp Till the last syllable of recorded time And it's worth listening When it comes down to it What do we really expect? When it comes down to it Did you think we'd just forget? About each other

Brief Candle 04:09
Brief candle of mine The sun is away And as I think about the day Each thought slowly fades away from me Brief candle of mine The moon's blushing face Silently flickers in the waves Each thought disappears as the next takes it's place You don't have to stay here with me I know, I want to stay here with you I saw your face in this photograph I swear by polygraph, I feel this way I see your face and it reminds me that That it doesn't have To be this way Until another day I don't even mind the gray I'll take the love, you remind me of Until another day

Yesterday 03:02
Yesterday's worries have decided to bleed into today Maybe tomorrow will decide that it should fade away And I thought about you all the time, all the time You never thought about me anytime I never thought that it would last but now I hope you can see Last night's troubles have decided to return this evening Maybe tonight I can get rid of them permanently Yesteryear's troubles have decided to rear their ugly heads Now I am feeling like I should have just stayed at home in bed And I thought about you day and night, day and night You never thought about me anytime You had it set that it wouldn't last but soon I hope you'll see That all the times you told me "No, I'm not the hurtin’ kind" That everyday it happens, still you're always on my mind And every time you tell me no, you'll have to wait in line But we both know its happened before and this won't be the last time This is the last time that you're ever gonna hear from me Sure I've felt worse but this one really got to me And I thought about you all the time, all the time You never thought about me anytime I never thought that it would last but now I hope you can see Yesterday's worries are almost over Yesterday's worries are over your shoulder
