Album Lyrics
1. Light and Space
As you look on your surroundings
From the mountain to the sea
You find everything I gave you
You see everything but me
I am the storm that won’t be calmed
I am the calm that follows
I am the stars that fill your sky
And when I choose
I’ll be in your thoughts
I’ll be in your dreams
All the light you see
All the air you breathe
As you look on all the hurting
And the finger points at me
You see freedom in deserting
And the cost of being free
I painted the heavens, the sun and the moon
I know what’s beyond them, I know you
I know what’s before you and what’s going to be
But now is the moment you’ll find me
All that you ever thought
Will fall to the ground like snow
Clearing the air you breathe
Whitening all you know
All that you ever see
Is never the same again
Your eyes will be open wide
Then you will understand
As your science takes you further
You’ll eventually concede
You can only scratch the surface
I’m the one who’s playing me
I am the road that won’t be found
I am the sign that guides you
I am the air that’s all around
And when I choose
I’ll be in your thoughts
I’ll be in your dreams
All the light you see
All the air you breathe
2. Turn On Tune In
When I speak to you
It’s in the language of the 20th century people
The ones who are the stars of stage and screen
Everything I say
Has been taught to me by my favorite TV program
The one that I watch each and every week
Turn on, tune in, drop out
Turn on, tune in, drop out
Turn on, tune in, drop out
Turn on, tune in, drop out
If I concentrate
I can break through the wash but only for a moment
My lucid thoughts are lost and out of reach
I would rather fall back into my familiar comfortable persona
The one that my TV was bought to teach
Turn on, tune in, drop out
Turn on, tune in, drop out
Turn on, tune in, drop out
Turn on, tune in, drop out
I can be the hero who can fly around the sun
I can scare you shitless I saw how on channel one
I think that I’m impressing you with my funny anecdotes
I got them from my kid’s TV and he’s too young to vote
We’re living in a fantasy but that’s OK with me
You believe the whole thing too, we’re all on MTV
Buy into the merchandise and then it becomes real
Palpable and plastic packaged neatly on the reel
Don’t even go outside
You will be destroyed
Best to stay inside
Take the networked ride
When I sing to you
It’s through the haze of mild and modern schizophrenia
The one where I am not the man I am
If I glimpse the real
Then I am scared into the rampant paranoia
The one where I am still a TV fan
Turn on, tune in, drop out
Turn on, tune in, drop out
Turn on, tune in, drop out
Turn on, tune in, drop out
Turn on, tune in, strung out
Turn on, tune in, strung out
Turn on, tune in, strung out
Turn on, tune in, strung out
3. The Ravages of Time
I was much too far out swimming all my life
And not waving but drowning
First there is an ocean
Then there is no ocean, then there is
And then we have a mountain range
And then a plain and a range again
Last there is a desert
Then a fertile plain, then dry again
Once there was a people
Then there were none, then some more did live
Then there was a city
Then a pile of rocks and a town again
Then they made a weapon
That destroyed the lot in a cloud of rain
Then they raised a temple
To a god who died and failed them
Then they left and traveled far
And then they flew back home again
In the gardens of the dead
When the disembodied entity said
Let there be body, let there be mind
Let there be man unkind
She gave the reasoning to me
And now the guilt is all on me
I entered in and my seed spread
Generations spawned from the visions in my head
We raised it up and we pulled it down
We advertised and marketed up town
She gave the reasoning to me
And now the guilt is all on me
I can tell the world the ravages of time will seek you out
I can tell the world the savageness of mind will find you out
I was destroyed and I lived again
My unborn children strengthening the strain
Countless lives marching throughout time
Marking out the details of my crime
She gave the reasoning to me
And now the guilt is all on me
I can tell the world the ravages of time will seek you out
I can tell the world the savageness of mind will find you out
And the knowledge that I have gained
Has been lost again and again and again
But it’s really all the same
All that has changed is the name
She gave the reasoning to me
And now the guilt is all on me
I can tell the world the ravages of time will seek you out
I can tell the world the savageness of mind will find you out
I can tell the world the ravages of time will seek you out
I can tell the world the savageness of mind will find you out
In the gardens of the dead…
4. Sheltering Sky
Here in the dark I can see clearly
All that I am burns on my eyes
Nobody knows the road that’s before me
Nobody sees the darkening skies
Here in the light I’ll be your angel
Under your spotlight I’m learning to fly
But one man’s perception is another’s deception
And dying to feeling, I’m living a lie
And in my understanding I find no reason
You can tell me I’m strong like a gathering storm
But I’m lost in my thoughts and I’m dead to the world
You gave me sheltering sky but I reached for the stars
I said I don’t believe in who you are
But it’s only words
Deep in the dark I feel like I’m falling
Voices and visions are pulling me down
I need you to help me escape from this ocean
I need you to stop me from learning to drown
You seem so understanding I find no reason
You can tell me I’m strong like a gathering storm
But I’m lost in my thoughts and I’m dead to the world
You gave me sheltering sky but I reached for the stars
I said I don’t believe in who you are
I never thought I’d let it go this far
But it’s only words
It’s only words
It’s only words
5. Oceanbound
Every time I try to climb a mountain
All I find are steeper ones ahead
Every time I walk along the highway
All you do is push me to the edge
I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid
Let the sky become an ocean
Pull me in above my head
Won’t deny my one devotion
Lose or win ‘cos I’m not scared
The higher up you build your walls around me
The higher I discover how to fly
I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid
Let the sky become an ocean
Pull me in above my head
Won’t deny my one devotion
Lose or win ‘cos I’m not scared
I know the truth of my conscience
And I know the lies of my sign
I know how it feels to be wanting
And I know of the fullness of time
I feel a storm across my face as night is falling
And I can’t see to carry on
I know the emptiness of space can hear me calling
But I don’t know what lies beyond
And I dream of a world without shadows
And I dream of a day without pain
I long for perpetual motion
And I dream of living again
Every time I try to climb the mountain
Nothing in the world can pull me down
I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid
Let the sky become an ocean
Pull me in above my head
Won’t deny my one devotion
Lose or win ‘cos I’m not scared
I’m not scared
I’m not scared
I’m not scared
6. Long Way Home
I thought that you were driving
Or never thought to ask
All the while you left me in control
Somehow I’m surviving, it doesn’t seem so hard
I’m not on this journey all alone
And I know the way I’m feeling
But I just can’t find the words
I go my own way, down I fall again
I see the sunrise, only taste the rain
What you remind me I already know
Unless I follow every road with you
I take the long way home
You weren’t supposed to find me, I tried so hard to hide
I never thought you’d want to track me down
I thought that you disowned me every time I strayed
I guess I had it all the wrong way round
And I know the way I’m going
But I just can’t find the road
I go my own way, down I fall again
I see the sunrise, only taste the rain
What you remind me I already know
Unless I follow every road with you
I take the long way home
And I know that I believe you
But I just can’t keep the faith
I go my own way, down I fall again
I see the sunrise, only taste the rain
What you remind me I already know
I go my own way, down I fall again
I see the sunrise, only taste the rain
What you remind me I already know
Unless I follow every road
Unless I follow every road
I take the long way home
7. Keep My Head
I’m doing the best that I can
Everything is going to plan
If only I can keep my head, my head tonight
So when I feel the hardship start
I’ll try not to take it to heart
I only want to keep the end, the end in sight
If only I can keep my head
When everyone is losing theirs
If only I can trust my heart
When doubting minds are everywhere
If I can keep my eyes in focus
Everything will turn out fine
If only I can keep my head, my head tonight
If only I can keep my head
When everyone is losing theirs
If only I can trust my heart
When doubting minds are everywhere
If I can keep my eyes in focus
Everything will turn out fine
If only I can keep my head
I’m doing the best that I can
Everything is going to plan
If only I can keep my head, my head tonight
8. Narcissus
Caught in the headlamp glare
Of your own blinding vanity
Mesmerized by the stare
Of your shallow personality
Gorging the junk food of flattery
You drag your fat ego around
Everyone floored by the battering
You give to whoever’s around
Trapped in the personal hell
Of your own desperate addiction
Frightened that others can tell
Of your expensive affliction
With your happiness based on a chemical
You wax lyrical with words so profound
When your indulgence reaches that level
It’s safest not to be around
Oh Narcissus, you petulant child
Admiring yourself in the curve of my eyes
Oh Narcissus, you angel beguiled
Unsated by self, you do nothing but die
Wrapped in the transparent lies
Of your desperate situation
You expound on imaginary ties
Expecting us to believe them
In the absence of concrete commitment
You’ve all the attention that money can buy
Not caring that those who still love you
Are callously thrown to one side
Oh Narcissus, you petulant child
Admiring yourself in the curve of my eyes
Oh Narcissus, you angel beguiled
Unsated by self, you do nothing but die
Oh Narcissus, you treacherous child
Admiring yourself in the curve of my eyes
Oh Narcissus, you angel beguiled
Unsated by self, you do nothing but die
Hey you dog man, whelp of a litter of scavengers
Bolting the flesh of your victims
With a ravenous greed
You work with your siblings up to a point
‘Til your ego is sated or your wallet fulfilled
Jealously guarding the bones of your kill
With a malice that’s born out of fear
Running with the pack, your defense is to attack
But I detect you in your stealth
Because you’ve rolled in your own filth
You hope to gain my trust with your cowardly disguise
Whispering such confidences, my revulsion to a wreck
You call yourself a friend, you call yourself a friend
And when I turn my back, your fangs will feel my neck
What is your domain but a barn
Where your runts roll in the reek?
You would seek to steal my freedom and have branded me a freak
I want nothing of your snarling mongrel strain
Your smarmy doggerel lies
And if these words have singed your fur
Consider yourself a whipped cur
Gorging the junk food of flattery
You haul your fat ego around
Everyone’s floored by the battering
You give to whoever’s around
Oh Narcissus, you petulant child
Admiring yourself in the curve of my eyes
Oh Narcissus, you angel beguiled
Unsated by self, you do nothing but die
