Apricot Sunday, sky is grey
I stand in the window
she's sleeping in her canopy bed
She wakes up & watches me
open the window
& listen to the sparrows singing
Do you remember when the sky was grey
& every day was Valentine's day
Do you remember when the sky was grey
& every day was Valentine's
Apricot Sunday, opium girl
hands me a bouquet
of marigolds & withered flowers
She lifts up her funeral veil
Autumn winds whistle
unfastened leaves are fluttering down
Do you remember when the sky was grey
& every day was Valentine's day
Do you remember when the sky was grey
& every day was Valentine's
She's locked inside my memory
I still remember everything
She's locked inside my memory
She takes me where I cannot be
Apricot Sunday, opium girl
hands me a bouquet
of marigolds & withered flowers
She lifts up her funeral veil
Autumn winds whistle
unfastened leaves are fluttering down
Do you remember when the sky was grey
& every day was Valentine's day
Do you remember when the sky was grey
& every day was Valentine's
She's locked inside my memory
She takes me where I cannot be
She's locked inside my memory
I Still remember everything
Do you remember when the sky was grey
& every day was Valentine's day
Do you remember when the sky was grey
& every day was Valentine's

Circles

Like a mantis draped in white
in the shadows of the liquid night
crawling godless to a closing door
anti-matter in the hands of love
in the hands of love
& I, I go 'round in circles
I saw god & all his angels too
& I, I go 'round in circles
I say peace & love
& I go round in circles
Like a holy man in the opium daze
with his killing hand, black tooth heroin
with the mushroom eyes & the jackal smile
& the hand of love in the hand of love
& I, I go 'round in circles
I saw god & all his angels too
& I, I go 'round in circles
I say peace & love
& I go round in circles
Like the broken man in the fortress
of the golden lamb
Like an insect under sticky light
On a space ride to the other side
Still ascending from the mortal core
Still pretending, in the hands of love
in the hand of love
& I, I go 'round in circles
I saw god & all his angels too
& I, I go 'round in circles
I say peace & love
& I go round in circles
Like the broken man in the fortress

Alone With You

Mary Martin, golden one
hides in shadows from the sun
Her family is dead and gone,
She stays inside her room, alone.
We know, we know, we know
We know, we know, we know
We know, we know, we know
Mary Martin moved too fast,
She's slipping through the hourglass
She opens up her eyes to see the sun.
Mary Martin, hair of gold,
button up your velvet coat
visits with her mother's stone,
she walks out in a field of snow
We know, we know, we know
We know, we know, we know
We know, we know, we know
Mary Martin grew too fast
She fell into the hourglass
She opens up her eyes to see the sun.
Hourglass, she closes both her eyes
and now she's gone
On this side the gray stone wall
I heard her call
in winter sighs,
through crystal branches
standing moon soaked in the rain.
Mary Martin, chosen one
close your eyes and then you're gone
Button up your velvet coat,
then lie out in your field of snow
We know, we know, we know
We know, we know, we know
We know, we know, we know
Mary Martin, spirit trapped
'cause no one turned the hourglass
She opens up her eyes to see the sun.
She closes both her eyes and now she's gone.

Brainchild

I'm a brainchild, I'm serious
I don't see the world like you
and my evolution
means revolution
to you
I'm a brainchild, I'm serious
I don't see the world like you
and my evolution
means revolution
to you
Slow boy, can't you catch up?
I've got something up on you
and my evolution
means revolution
to you
We see society
We don't want to be like you
Because you're falling down
and walking around the truth
Wake up, realize
you don't have to close your eyes
because you're still alive
and so full of desire
Preacher, tell the truth
you're too blind to see
and your revelations
mean devastation
to me
Your god is peace and love
No, I think I disagree
because your revelations
mean devastation
to me
