As you walk through the valley of the shadow of death, you’ll find your solar-powered watch does not work. And the cell-phone reception is also quite constrained…

Close your eyes
Someone your age
Should not see such rage.
Falling from my mouth
Into a pool of
Deep, dark
Towards the rapids
Racing to this end.

Please don’t turn away
Your eyes can’t see
You’re only pulling me
Towards you.

With every breath you breath
It’s like magnets on your chest
I feel them
Please, please.

I only want to talk to you.
I only want to talk to you,
In a very
Very
Extremely calming tone.

You oughta know
What I dream about you.
When you’re not here.

When I’m watching my TV.
When I’m watching my TV.
When I’m watching my TV I think of you.

And I never turn away.

I

Hey there,
Mr. Universe
Tell me how to love
Who to love
Where to go

You know
You’re so beautiful
Help me make a plan
Take a stand
Build a brand

II

Tell me
Senior Funnybones,
Did you have the hand
In the plan
In the stands?

They think
It’s all beautiful
Can you hear the band?
In the stands
Build a brand.

III

Stand back
From the megaphone
Give me
All the say
Every way
Every day.

You know
It’s all physical
Help me make a plan
Take a stand
Be the man

(Possibly the best guitar solos ever. In history. Nobody’s ever seen playing like this before.)

IV

Take me
Down to Phlegethon
Show me all the ways
Every day
You’re away

You roll
So political
Is there any way
When you go away
And make this stop?

How could you leave me?
So much deception.
How could you break down?
So much to justify.

Tell me you love me.
Break my heart once more.
Show me the dream now.
So much to justify.

Hey, if you see me.
Walk on by just go.
Go with your dream now.
No more to justify.

I

Paris and Victor
With nothing to do
They’d headed for treasures
Straight out in the blue
They turned towards attention
For only a view
They returned for the game
But found only two

Forth towards adventure
There is nothing more to say
You are running towards a burning bridge
No help is on the way
There are many more to drop
When you’ve thrown it all away
That’s a story.

Chorus

Tell me friend
Don’t tell no lie
Of all your wounds
And your surprise.

Tell me when you realised
That all you fears were realised
Tell me that you realise
And then we’ll have
A story.

II

Help me, help me
Defend from the waves
I see my life coming due.

Come to me
In endless seas
No daylight.
Why can’t you save me?

Chorus

Solos

Chorus

I

I’m a bird.
I’m a plane.
And I’m every thought that ever rattles round inside your brain.
I’m the dawn.
I’m the light.
I’m the sun the goes to sleep at night.

I’m the cool
In the flame
That you never thought
Could ever come
And take your breath away.

Down below
From the height
I am everything
That you will leave tonight.

Don’t tell me that you’re just visiting and living your best life.
Don’t tell me that wearing out your final light.

I’m the verse
Of the rage
And In every word that ever fought
To find it on your page

Take a look
At the time
It’s in everything that you will see tonight.

Interlude

Hey there, sister
Stay where you are.
Please,
Say that you are.

Drive fast or slow
In the dark.
An endless, empty
Fiery angel’s spark.

Don’t drive too fast
You’ll go to slow
You go to slow, you know.

Don’t drive too fast
You’ll go to slow
You go too slow, you know.
You know.

II

I’m a bird
I’m a plane
And I’m every thought that ever rattled round inside your brain.

I’m the dawn
I’m the light
I’m the sun the goes to sleep at night.

Don’t tell me that you’re just visiting and living your best life.
Don’t tell me that wearing out your final eye.

I’m the thirst
For the rain
And in every cost you ever thought
Could take away your pain.

Take a look
Overhead
And I’m everything
And every thing
That you’ll feel tonight.

I

Dream at night
Don’t be dramatic
Own the cold
That’s waiting for us.

You were right
To never wander
Close the door
There better quiet.

Chorus

I believe in you beyond the silence.
I believe the mystery that you were
I believe there is a resurrection
I believe the end is never wrong.

II

Do you exist beyond the moonlight?
Do you exist between the mysteries?
Do you have life beyond the memory?
Do you expect the next of daylight?

Chorus

I

My old man was in the war
He played around the Asian seas
He came on back
But it was in the days
When all the pain you wouldn’t see

II

My first time
Was in the hall
There wasn’t anyone who’d see.

She was polite
As we said good night.
Gallant to the seeds.

Finale

I

Think it’s time we perceive there’s a limit
And it’s time you realised
There’s a full moon waiting
Out there on the rise.

II

Think it’s time we’re excused from the visit
And it’s time that you bid goodbye
There a new group waiting
On the other side.

Think it’s time you examine the ticket
And you’ll see on the other side
There’s a whole list saying
Fine print says
Only five more
Left to go.

Interlude

Now listen to me darling
I hope you’ll understand
There never really was a real plan.

I’ve never been too honest
About what’s in my hands.
The force that we should never let command

The awesome day will offer
The rolling of the tide
The politics we’re living in
Left somewhere on the line.

I couldn’t get you to understand
That I’m
No time
No time
No time
No time

Finale (Return)

It’s time we return from what we’re given
And it’s time that we say goodbye
There’s a full moon rising
In the night
As I see your eyes

There’s a time on the loan we were given
But you can’t understand to be clear
But it’s over see?
It’s all downhill from here.

Do you think that you really can hear me?
Do you think that you really believe you can hear?
Do you think that you really can hear me?
Do you really think you can see it from here?

And there’s nobody home.
As you go on alone
And you stand by that phone
And hope you’ll see it here.

There’s a time on the loan we were given
But you can’t understand to be clear
But it’s over see
It’s all downhill from here.
