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

Do you believe in the signs of the Zodiac

Swamp girl
What's written in the stars
I've got the feeling of a trembling creeping up on me
If it be your will (that I speak no more)
Who's the girl who'll steal your soul

She met him on the staircase as the gallery was closing
I saddled up my pony right and rode into the ghostly night
One night as you sleep in your goosefeather bed
Continuate the light of day
It came at noon that astral card, that offered him a glimpse of the unknown

Walter the Occultist is sleeping in the parlour
Where the willow drowns its widow's reeds in water
Too eager to appease
Jackie sits alone by the waterfront
Running down the great hall, her voice echoes name after name

All around me are familiar faces
The elements will start to fight
There's a man going 'round, taking names
I am nothing without his ghost within
I'm going out west where the wind blows tall

Watching your eyes go back and forth

Sleeping on the side walk on a rainy day
He was standing by the highway
In 1914, this ball was at war
There is a wind, my Billy, and its awful strong

Now the flames, they followed Joan of Arc
The leaves of grass will not pass on
One day more!
When you say I love you

You've been had by a fool, he's been all over you
Ain't a day goes by
Ain't it hard when you wake up in the morning
The little creatures run in from the cold

I heard it in the wind last night
Getting hung up all day on smiles
The big man arrives
The wind is in from Africa

I feel a little blue 'cause I can't sew
Gloria in excelsis Deo
I took off for a week last month
Well I woke up this mornin'

December
