Trouble

nt to live
I guess the fire burns inside

I'm goin' home
I'm goin' home

I'm goin' down to a place called Earth
It's where we all must come
Love is in the air, flowers in her hair
Your most passionate desires

I'm goin' home
I'm goin' home


2. Mindbender
May I have your attention please?
I need a couple of volunteers
Today's the day that we will be
Clearing up all your fear
So look into my eyes
Are you getting sleepy?

The sings say it won't be long now
Spirits are everywhere
With every passing moment
Heaven is over here
Hell is only a state of mind
All things of this Earth
Are yours to find

As silence of a pale dawn
Begins to pass me by
Good morning be upon us all
Till the day I die

May I have your attention please?
I need a couple more volunteers
Today's the day that you will leave
With heverything you need

You will wake up to a count of three
There is no more pain, just you and me

As silence of a pale dawn
Begins to pass me by
Good morning be upon us all
Till the day I die


3. Seven
Time grows dimmer as we run
From the little revelency bore
To ride on a visionary wing
Whose shadow fall before
The light shines from the tree
To hide my skulls depression
Let me keep inside your head
All my frustration

Like a spell upon my soul
The hours flow gently by
Seem as through the answers are
Obscured by the sky
The stars just make me wonder
Of birds forever flown
I tempt the waters from my bed
To find my way back home

It's time to breathe
Breathe with you
I wanna believe
Believe in me
So I can feel
Feel the sun
Touch me I'm here
Here beneathe the tree


4. Pictures Of Life
Early in the morning
Alone with the Earth and sky
Where the peacefully departed lie
I remember the day
Heard voices calling me
To the sunrise of my mind

Pictures of life are comin' down
Photographs of your soul
Pictures of life are comin' down
Man I sure look cold

Who am I really, to be tryin'
Thought that I could change the world
I saw myself takin' all your hands
Showin' you how to touch the sky

Pictures of life are comin' down
Photographs of your soul
Pictures of life are comin' down
Man I sure look cold

Early in the morning
Alone with the Earth and sky
Where the peacefully departed lie
I remember the day
Heard voices calling me
To the sunrise of my mind

Pictures of life are comin' down
Photographs of your soul
Pictures of life are comin' down
Man I sure look cold


5. After The Rain
Nothing is moving today
Just in my mind, I really couldn't say
And it feels rather strange
So many different colored days

I'm still here wonderin' 'bout things
Whose to know what my life will bring
Not exactly sure what it means yet for me
Just to remember my dream

Seems like I've been here before
So much love
And it's all that it appears to be
After the rain

Nothing is moving today
Just in my mind, I really couldn't say
And it feels rather strange
Here at the end of my daze

Seems like I've been here before
So much love
And it's all that it appears to be
After the rain


6. Trouble Maker
As years go by and we grow old
Life's not exactly as I've been told
Dissatisfaction of a universal sort
Sorry there is nothing new to report

Someone's laughing in my head
He's on the other side of her
The only one I seem to listen to
Such a little troublemaker

Sometimes I feel like I really don't belong
Yet there's absolutely nothing wrong
Symptoms of trembling insecurity
Neurotic attempt to escape the things I see

Someone's laughing in my head
He's on the other side of her
The only one I seem to listen to
Such a little troublemaker

As years go by and we grow old
Life's not exactly as I've been told
Dissatisfaction of a universal sort
Sorry there is nothing new to report

Someone's laughing in my head
He's on the other side of her
The only one I seem to listen to
Such a little troublemaker


7. Arthur Brown's Whiskey Bar
I can see you all, sitting in a row
Don't ask me why
There's no place else to go
The look on your face
Is really quite intense
Waiting for this life, to make sense

Last night of the old year
Moving the sun
Fading power, the world is weakened
The night has just begun

I still have trouble, waiting in a line
My will is gone, after all this time
So come down, it's guaranteed
A splendid time for all
Arthur Brown's whiskey bar
Forget life for a while

Last night of the old year
Moving the sun
Fading power, the world is weakened
The night has just begun
Many souls have died here
For what they believe in
Summers end masks of darkness
All hallows even

I have a friend in so much misery
Imagination seems to be the key
Close the window, shades of gray
Nothing earthly came to save the day


8. Simple Mind Condition
Thank you very much, my friend
For all the advice you gave
Haunted and lonely, am I the only one?
Put me one step closer to my grave

They only come while I'm in bed
What I think they really want
Is to have me dead

My, my,my simple mind condition
My, my,my simple mind condition

Right from the start, I misunderstood
Should have known
You couldn't make me see
Now it's your turn to bend over
Cause I'm going back to being me

They only come while I'm in bed
What I think they really want
Is to have me dead

My, my,my simple mind condition
My, my,my simple mind condition

Always try to keep in mind
It's what we see that makes us blind
Why does everything seem so far?
It's so you never know
How close you really are

They only come while I'm in bed
What I think they really want
Is to have me dead


9. If I Only Had A Reason
Can barely hear what you're thinking
So many people interfering
I know you're in distress
With sorrow my eyes can see
And it pains me that you know
How it feels to be like me

If I only had a reason
Would try to understand
If I only had a reason to give a damn

Noticed while sitting on a fence
Faces of childlike innocence
Reflections of a time
When life seemed so red
Memories, some fill your heart
Deep down inside may never heal

If I only had a reason
Would try to understand
If I only had a reason to give a damn

Can barely hear what you're thinking
So many people interfering
I know you're in distress
With sorrow my eyes can see
And it pains me that you know
How it feels to be like me

If I only had a reason
Would try to understand
If I only had a reason to give a damn


10. The Beginning Of Sorrows
Verily, verily I come to you
Two fold more a child in hell
I am falling away from the light
The beginning of sorrows

All the days of my life
I was made to believe in lies
Sowing pillows for those who are asleep
Haven't the souls to make them fly

Long before my time on Earth
I was told who I was going to be
Gather round for my conception
Nice to see you all again

Six long years since I've been in love
Maybe since birth
Softly the moment, she's coming closer
My only pleasure here on Earth
Can't really say
What brings us all together
Or the reason we are all forgiven
I only know I'm here to be
Someone you can believe in
All your dreams
Have just begun
Can you see me know
I'm the one
In the reflection
Of the sun
I can feel your pain
Don't be afraid
I'm the one
In the reflection
Of the sun
Here comes the son
