Ah – must be a lie

"40 Day Dream"

I been sleepin for 40 days and
I know Im sleeping cuz this dream’s too amazin
She got gold doorknobs where her eyes used to be
One turn and I learned what it really means to see

[Chorus]
Ah – It’s the magical mystery kind
Ah – must be a lie
Bye bye to the too good to be true kind of love
Oh – I could die
Oh now I can die

I been sleepin for 60- days and
Nobody better pinch me
Bitch I swear I’ll go crazy
She got jumper cable lips
She got sunset on her breath now
I inhaled just a little bit
Now I got no fear of death now

[Chorus]

OhhAhhYeahYeah Yeah Yeah

[Chorus]

Evening Over Rooftop

The air was thick like honey
Looking from a room
The room had open windows
To let this springtime through

Evening stood by watchin'
At the side of summer's promise
The flowers in her garden
Were the envy of her friends

How far are we from dying
Is it nearly at an end?
How far are we from dying
Is it nearly at an end?

The smoke hung on the skyline
The city fell in silence
The sunset, ripe and mellow
Was the light to write some thoughts by

Her children watched for father
From a window in the wall
Said a prayer for grandpapa
And maybe many more

Somewhere in the distance
On the road so far away
I heard the sound of life
Though the people left for home

Three birds flew off a building
Standing proud against the sky
Many more flew with them
Spiralled up like laughter

Faster, harder
They rose up in a column
Hundreds upon hundreds
And twice that many wingspeed

Four miles across
Stretched a million miles high
The living pulsing column
In the lady of the sky

Feathers thrashed together
locked in that huge swarm
I knew no-one could see it
And now that it was gone

I rubbed my eyes and tried to find
A reason for the flight
Exodus, escape
Or was it just for me to see?

Like the mating of the earth and air
Like water is to flowers
The envy of her friends
How far are we from dying, is it nearly at an end?

How far are we from dying
Is it nearly at an end?
How far are we from dying
Is it nearly at an end? ....

"2080"

I can't sleep when I think about the times we're living in

I can't sleep when I think about the future I was born into

Outside's dressed up like Sunday morning

With no Berlin wall, what the hell you gonna do?

It's a new year, I'm glad to be here

It's a fresh spring, so let's sing

In 2080 I'll surely be dead

So don't look ahead, never look ahead

It's a new year, I'm glad to be here

It's the first spring, so let's sing

And the moon shines bright on the water tonight

So we won't drown in the summer sound

If you find me, I'll be sitting by the water fountain

Picket signs, letdowns, meltdown on Monday morning

But it's all right, yeah, it's all right

Yeah, it's all right, yeah, it's all right

'Cause in no time, they'll be gone

I guess I'll still be standing here

It's a new year, I'm glad to be here

It's a fresh spring, so let's sing

In 2080 I'll surely be dead

So don't look ahead, never look ahead

It's a new year, I'm glad to be here

It's the first spring, so let's sing

And the moon shines bright on the water tonight

So we won't drown in the summer sound

Yeah, yeah, we can all grab at the chance to be handsome farmers

Yeah, you can have twenty-one sons and be blood when they marry my daughters

And the pain that we left at the station will stay in a jar behind us

We can pickle the pain into blue ribbon winners at county contests
