Time Has A Numbing Effect

These barriers disintegrating
I wonder why I don't know what you see
These feet have walked so many miles
No body ever had a dream 'round here
Could there be a familiar ring

In a prehistoric dried up lake
When I look back upon my life
Flash, ah-ahhhhh, Saviour of the Universe
One night as you sleep in your goose feather bed
See the pyramids along the Nile

I take a breath
Outside there's a boxcar waiting
Walk, walk, walk, walk, walk like a man
It's a perfect beginning
Somewhere along the road someone waits for me

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
As I roved out on one cold winter's evening
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
I built a ship with my own hands
Well let me tell ya if you're feeling alone

I'm ever so lost
Morning came to pieces
Don't have to be beautiful
Kissing James Dean on a ferris wheel
Hear my voice
