Pariah Posted August 20 Author Report Share Posted August 20 Something not so superficial Like something I can really do without Need a hand to hold onto Help me understand What's the point of preparation now? You've just got to make that beat somehow Into the storm All the stories you've been telling You must know someday they'll find you out Through this life you've been propelling Now you're spinning out Time to make your reparations now You've just got to make that leap somehow Come on and make it now Into the storm Armies of angels are starting to fall Bathed in the light at the break of the dawn Armies of angels are leading me on Take me away from the heart of the storm Take me away Take me away One thing learned from all these years As stupid now as we were at first Maybe that's the way it goes When you try to change the world Sending pointless invitations out You always knew what this was all about Somewhere a fire is breaking out Into the storm Armies of angels are starting to fall Bathed in the light at the break of the dawn Armies of angels are leading me on Take me away from the heart of the storm Take me away Take me away And we can fly from here And we can fly from here And we can fly from here And we can fly from here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted August 20 Author Report Share Posted August 20 Dreams of a sky without fire Dreams of a sky without fire An occurrence of chance This fleeting existence Are we not leaves in a storm? Here tossed and there blown Dreams of a sky without fire Dreams of a sky without fire You are my mirror to the sky (to the sky) You are my mirror to the sky (the sky) You're my mirror to the sky You're my mirror to the sky Still I dream of a sky without fire Still I dream of a sky without fire falling Still I dream of a sky without fire What the shadow minds behind the third eye Spies in vain define The essence they fail to possess and so resist all They cannot control Their forces then despise the very Soul And Its inseparable ties To the limitless sacred skies Voices stir, from future Earth (ooh ooh ooh) Tikkun olam Spiritus mundi Affirm the principal of unity After all We are star fall Pause and reflect the cause and effect With mindful mind, sail timeless time Strange worlds unknown where all man soon must go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted August 27 Author Report Share Posted August 27 Lilacs blossom just as sweet Now my heart is shattered If I bowled it down the street Who's to say it mattered? If there's one that rode away What would I be missing? Lips that taste of tears, they say Are the best for kissing Eyes that match the morning star Seem a little brighter Arms held out to darkness are Usually whiter Shall I bar the strolling guest Bind my brow with willow When, they say, the empty breast Is the softer pillow? That a heart falls tinkling down Never think it ceases Every likely lad in town Gathers up the pieces If there's one gone whistling by Would I let it grieve me? Let him wonder if I lie Let him half believe me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted August 27 Author Report Share Posted August 27 The dancer slows her frantic pace In pain and desperation Her aching limbs and downcast face Aglow with perspiration Stiff as wire, her lungs on fire With just the briefest pause The flooding through her memory The echoes of old applause. She limps across the floor And closes her bedroom door... The writer stares with glassy eyes Defies the empty page His beard is white, his face is lined And streaked with tears of rage Thirty years ago, how the words would flow With passion and precision But now his mind is dark and dulled By sickness and indecision And he stares out the kitchen door Where the sun will rise no more Some are born to move the world To live their fantasies But most of us just dream about The things we'd like to be Sadder still to watch it die Than never to have known it For you, the blind who once could see The bell tolls for thee The bell tolls for For you the blind who once could see The bell tolls for thee... The bell tolls for thee... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted Thursday at 09:18 PM Author Report Share Posted Thursday at 09:18 PM If I'm over the moon It's because I'm over you A day at a time And I'm tickety boo I don't carry on The way I used to Whoop de doo Whoop de doo If I'm doin' great It's because when I get home I don't go straight To my answerphone And the tears don't come The way they used to Whoop de doo Whoop de doo So many little things So much better now They were only the little things Anyhow If I'm over the moon It's because that's what I am Funny that once I used to give a damn And I'd do anything In the whole wide world for you Whoop de doo Whoop de doo Anything Anything you'd want me to Whoop de doo Whoop de doo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted Friday at 07:22 PM Author Report Share Posted Friday at 07:22 PM Nobody loved me like you And nobody loved me so cruel Nobody made me feel more like a man And then made me feel like a fool Nobody haunts me like you Nobody's tossed me aside Like an old piece of trash From the Upper East Side I thought that you were for real I had some wounds you could heal You sewed them up and then poured on the salt Bitter and sweet as a death row last meal Nobody haunts me like you Nobody's shattered my pride Like a silver screen cowboy Without a last ride Nobody haunts me like you You were the one I believed Stigmata hands always bleed You were the one that kept my feet on the ground And then brought me down to my knees Nobody haunts me like you Nobody's crushed me that way Like a shot in the back Holdin' aces and eights Nobody haunts me like you Nobody's cut me down deep Like a bedside prayer kneeling With no soul to keep Nobody haunts me like you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted Friday at 07:34 PM Author Report Share Posted Friday at 07:34 PM Found me there on the ground, you dusted me off Turned me around, got me off of that stuff But I'm just a man: flesh, blood, and bone Trouble seems to find me when I’m left alone So if I should stumble, if I should slide Keep me from going to the other side Don't turn me away, don't leave me out in the cold You know that I’ve only got one place to go Just like the last time, it won't work out well Don't let me go back to the Sunset Motel Don't let me go back to the Sunset Motel When you've been all you can be You've done all you can do Seems fair to me they would do the same for you Did you shake your head and smile While they tell you go to hell? You'll find what you need at the Sunset Motel So baby, hold me close, say you'll never let me go I don't even know who I am no more Don't turn me away, don't leave me out in the cold You know that I’ve only got one place to go Just like the last time, it won't work out well Don’t let me go back to the Sunset Motel Don't let me go back to the Sunset Motel Four walls to hold me Locked up inside Where the same thing that kills you Is what keeps you alive No hope for redemption No safe place to fall Just two pairs of eyes Waiting to escape from it all So baby, when the doctors try to throw me back in Keep me from going down that road again Don't turn me away, don't leave me out in the cold You know that I’ve only got one place to go Just like the last time, it won't work out well Don't let me go back to the Sunset Motel Please don't let me go back to the Sunset Motel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted Friday at 07:46 PM Author Report Share Posted Friday at 07:46 PM I took a stroll through the garden of the gods, you were on my mind Sun sneakin' through the roses and the rain and the piñon pines I never let you go, no, I didn't I'm long gone but my heart's still in it Left to wonder why you ever let me say goodbye I've been thinkin' 'bout you all night I've been thinkin' 'bout you all night I've been thinkin' 'bout you all night every night I took a rest at the Beltane Ranch, you were on my mind Fog rollin' over distant hills and the firebreak line But I ain't gonna try to forget it You know I'd take you back in a minute And I wonder, do the wounds ever heal with time? I've been thinkin' 'bout you all night I've been thinkin' 'bout you all night I've been thinkin' 'bout you all night every night Walkin' home by the river by the road, you were on my mind Moon shinin' like you always used to like it and the stars aligned Thinkin' back to the Lake Of The Woods, you were on my mind Runnin' wild like a couple crazy kids through the tamarack pines I still miss you like you wouldn't believe Now you're nothing but a memory Was it all in my head? Were you ever really mine? I've been thinkin' 'bout you all night I've been thinkin' 'bout you all night I've been thinkin' 'bout you all night every night I've been thinkin' 'bout you all night I've been thinkin' 'bout you all night I've been thinkin' 'bout you all night every night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
