Walking through these empty streets this town is dead
Rain is coming harder now upon your head
You can’t get far enough away
What’s it matter anyway
You never win
They handed you map to show you where to go
Gave you everything but what you need to know
You know your friends enough to say
Where they’ll be on any day
Come what [...]

Everybody claims that they want the best things
outta life, (ha) but not everyone, not everyone
wanna go through the toils and strifes.
Like this particular fella, walks around
all day long singin’ this song
sha na lah dah dah lah dah dah dah dah
Harry Hippie, lies asleep in the shade,
life don’t bug him cause he
thinks he’s got it made.
He [...]

Oh my fair North Star
I have held to you dearly
I have asked you to steer me
Til one cloud scattered night
I got lost in my travels
I met Leo the Lion
Met a king and met a giant, with their errant knight
There’s the wind
And the rain
And the mercy of the fallen
Who say they have no claim
To know what’s [...]

Open the door but watch your step
Try not to trip on your regrets
As you walk towards my hold grail
You know how I feel about growing up
So you find me hovering above
Where I can stay frail
You might be right
That I’m not that bright
And you think you’ll win without a fight
But you are never gonna open me [...]

Once I wanted to be the greatest
No wind or waterfall could stall me
And then came the rush of the flood
Stars of night turned deep to dust
Melt me down
To big black armour
Leave no trace
Of grace
Just in your honor
Lower me down
To culprit south
Make ‘em wash
A space in town
For the lead and the dregs
Of my bed i’ve been [...]

Jesus Christ, that’s a pretty face
The kind you’d find on someone that could save
If they don’t put me away
It’ll be a miracle
Do you believe you’re missing out?
That everything good is happening somewhere else
With nobody in your bed
The night is hard to get through
And I will die all alone
And when I arrive I won’t know anyone
Jesus [...]

Me and my friend, we are not friendly anymore
We have not talked for so long.
And if we had to talk, what could we say, sitting side by side.
So long ago, we were dancing and singing
We could be together saying nothing.
So long ago, it all meant much more than this.
The pond, it seems so quiet tonight
And [...]
Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
And the slow parade of fears without crying
Now I want to understand
I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good without hiding
You must help me if you can
Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise to leave them open for so long
‘Cause I have [...]
we fell in love and kissed under the sun
wrote down the way this ends, and then we kissed again
i hear the sound, the gods can’t scare me now
cause i’m too young to die and already broken inside
a message recorded a year from today
says i’d have called sooner, but forgot your name
i hope it comes against [...]

I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
An August summer night
Soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change
The world is closing in
Did you ever think
That we could be so close, like brothers
The future’s in the air
I can feel it everywhere
Blowing with the wind of change
Take me to the magic of the [...]
