Yours Is No Disgrace
Yesterday a morning came, a smile upon your face,
Caesar's palace, morning glory, silly human race,
On a sailing ship to nowhere, leaving any place.
If the summer change to winter,
Yours Is No Disgrace
Battleships confide in me and tell me where you are,
Shining flying, purple wolfhound, show me where you
are,
Lost in summer, morning, winter, travel very far,
Lost in musing circumstances, that's just where you are.
Yesterday a morning came, a smile upon your face,
Caesar's palace, morning glory, silly human, silly human
race,
On a sailing ship to nowhere, leaving any place.
If the summer change to winter, yours is no, Yours Is
No Disgrace
Death defying mutilated armies scatter the earth
Crawling out of dry holes their morals, their morals
disappear.
Yesterday a morning came, a smile upon your face,
Caesar's palace, morning glory, silly human, silly human,
silly human race.
On a sailing ship to nowhere, leaving anyplace,
If the summer change to winter, yours is no,
Yours Is No Disgrace.
Yours Is No Disgrace.
Life Seeker
Sister Bluebird flying high above,
Shine your wings forward to the sun.
Hide the mysteries of life on your way.
Though you're seen them,
please don't say a word.
What you don't know I have never heard.
Starship Trooper, go sailing on by,
Catch my soul, catch the very
night.
Hide the moment from my eager eyes.
Though you've seen them,
please don't tell a soul.
What you can't see can't be very whole.
Speak to me of summer,
long winters longer than time can remember,
Setting up of other roads,
travel on in old accustomed ways.
I still remember the talks by the water,
The proud sons and daughters that,
in the knowledge of the land,
spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways.
Mother life, hold firmly on to me,
Catch my knowledge
higher than the day.
Lose as much as only you can show
Though you've seen me, please don't say a word.
What I don't know I have never shared.
Disillusion
Loneliness is a power that we possess
to give or take away forever
All I know can be shown by your acceptance
of the facts there shown before you.
Take what I say in a different way
and it's easy to say that this is all confusion.
As I see a new day in me,
I can also show if you and you may follow.
Speak to me of summer,
long winters longer than time can remember,
Setting up of other roads,
travel on in old accustomed ways.
I still remember the talks by the water,
The proud sons and daughters that,
in the knowledge of the land,
spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways.
Your Move
I've seen all good people turn their heads each day
so satisfied I'm on my way.
I've seen all good people turn their heads each day
so satisfied I'm on my way.
Take a straight and stronger course
to the corner of your life.
Make the White Queen run so fast
She hasn't got time to make you
wife.
'Cause it's time, it's time in time
with your time and its news
is captured for the Queen to use.
Move me on to any black square
use me any time you want,
Just remember that the gold
Is for us all to capture all we want
anywhere, yea, yea, yea.
Don't surround yourself with yourself
Move on back two squares
Send an instant karma to me
Initial it with loving care yourself.
'Cause it's time, it's time in time
with your time and its news is captured
for the Queen to use
Diddit didit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda.
All Good People
I've seen all good people turn their heads each day
so satisfied I'm on my way.
(repeat 6 times)
Yea, yea
I've seen all good people turn their heads each day
so satisfied I'm on my way.
(repeat 4 times)
A Venture
Once a peaceful man laid
his old head down by a river,
Thought about his childhood life,
his father and forgiver,
couldn't hide away, hide away.
He controlled the horses
with a hand clap or a whisper,
Drink he couldn't combat,
but he knew he was no sinner,
couldn't hide away, hide away.
He told all his sons of all the antics of adventure
Then he told another one
who drove himself to drink
not to hide away, hide away.
Better men have realized alone is not A Venture,
A decent man would realize
alone is no adventure
just to hide away, hide away.
Perpetual Change
I see the cold mist in the night
And watch the hills roll out of sight
I watch in every single way,
inside out, outside in, every day.
The sun can warm the coldest dawn
And move the movement on the lawn.
I learn in every single day,
inside out, outside in, every way.
And there you are,
Making it out, but you're sure that it is a star,
And boy you'll see
It's an illusion shining down in front of me,
And then you'll say
Even in time we shall control the day.
When what you'll see
Deep inside base controlling you and me.
And one peculiar point I see
As one of many ones of me.
As truth is gathered, I rearrange
inside out, outside in,
inside out, outside in,
Perpetual
Change.
And there you are,
Saying we have the moon, so now the stars,
When all you see
Is near disaster, gazing down on you and me,
And there you're standing,
Saying we have the whole world in our hands,
When all you'll see,
Deep inside the world's controlling you and me.
You'll see Perpetual Change
You'll see Perpetual Change
And there you are,
Making it out, but you're sure that it is a star,
And boy you'll see
It's an illusion shining down in front of me,
And then you'll say
Even in time we shall control the day
When all you'll see,
Deep inside base controlling you and me.
As mist and sun are both the same
We look on as pawns of their game.
They move to testify the day
inside out, outside in,
inside out, outside in,
all of the way.
