IN THE STRANGE OBLIVION In the strange oblivion A new season crashes forward in the spires of Babylon A new paradigm is altered In the end In the aught In the end In the aught Icy shadows closing in In the darkness of the ocean Ancient forces, denizen Cold gray labyrinth of water, oh In the end In the aught In the end Tendril of the strangest kind Reaches out it takes you under Sonar signals of the mind Bones before you, there’s no savior In the end In the aught In the end

STREETS OF THUNDER Love is really a dream And I know where you’ve been Late at night we walk the streets with lightning and the thunder Take me on, why don’t you take me under? We are better as two And I’m in love with you Love is just a mystery No need for all your sorrow You don’t know Just who you’ll be tomorrow Late at night we walk the streets with thunder Oh take me on, why don’t you take me under? Oh baby don’t cry You know we’ll get by You turn me on Oh baby don’t cry You know we’ll get by Baby don’t you cry Darlin’ don’t you cry Baby don’t you cry

A SECOND TO LIVE In the rooftop of my mind Shadows leave the world behind Rainy streets of occupation Turn the light off, avoid detection Oh this can’t be happening In this dead reckoning A Second to Live The lonely world that I must travel With every turn the knots unravel Oh I can’t do anything Oh, in this dead reckoning A Second to Live A big black car I have to follow Don’t know where I’ll sleep tomorrow Oh, I can’t do anything Oh, In this dead reckoning A Second to Live A Second to Live A Second to Live A Second to...

HOME It’s getting lost Getting high With your head Up in the sky Check out on the railway station, There goes all the love you’re makin’ Go Home But you’ll never get Home It’s like a bolt Out of the blue And the sea Is so green Check out on the railway station, There goes all the love you’re makin’ Go Home But you’ll never get Home But you’ll never get Home Oh, you’re livin’ on a one way ticket Oh, but there’s no one in it You’re livin’ on a one way ticket Oh, but there’s no one in it One Way Ticket No one in it Round and Round and Round Lost until you’re found Round and Round and Round Lost until you’re found Go Home Get Home Go Home Get Home

SUNSHINE MESSENGER How did you learn to look at the sky? Did the beauty evolve, or is it intrinsic? Did it careen into you, like afternoon sun, Crashing like a shower of water rushing. Oh, Sunshine Messenger Sunshine You only get what you give Plastically dazzled Not worried at all Morning bells ringing Newspaper void Inscripted Scripto Dewdrops clinging tall grass No, no, no I put up the wall A groom is drearily grieving You got the call to kick up the flowers And the glow I see Checkered institution Crystal blue wonders Galloping Eastward No, no, no I put up the wall Because I might love you And I’ll fall, fall And it’s no, no, no I put up the wall Because I might love you And I’ll fall, fall, fall Sunshine Messenger Sunshine, You only get what you give Sunshine Messenger Sunshine in Manchester I don’t want to wait, I just want to love you

ABSOLUTION When it was Summer I reached for your Fall I stayed beside you, in spite of it all When it was Autumn, I reached for your June This kind of love leads you over the moon Then it was Winter and longing for Spring, Reaching for heart-strings inside of a ring Saturn and Venus, with comets of Mars, We spent the night time our heads in the stars Seasons turn around the Sun Seasons turn around the Sun Giving light to everyone It’s so clear, It’s do dear Afternoon showers of shimmering wind Planets and courses are flowing again, Forests of laughter from ferns to the dune, Absolution is starting to bloom Seasons turn around the Sun Seasons turn around the Sun Giving light to everyone It’s so clear, It’s do dear Every single one of us is here Despite the differential Each and every one of us is here, Despite the differential It’s so clear Absolution It’s so dear It’s so clear It’s so near
