Disappear Saturn Return Beat A Drum Imitation Of Life Summer Turns To High Chorus And The Ring I’ll Take The Rain Beachball THE LIFTING grounded, 5 a.m. the nightlite is comforting, but gravity is holding you. once settled into sleep, you have watched, on repeat, the story of your life across the ceiling; and in review, you've said the air was singing it's calling you you don't believe these things you've never seen "good morning, and how are you? the weather's fine, the sky is blue- it's perfect for our seminar..." "now close your eyes, and start to breathe. allow the noise to recede... ...allow yourself to drift and fly away." but you just stay. you've said the air was singing it's calling you you don't believe these things you've never seen, never dreamed. Did you hear these voices calling Did you hear these voices calling Did you hear these voices calling you locked into a conference room, "we're only what our minds assume..." and rationale is leaving you. this conceit, these systems of belief, your counselor agrees, "you've always marked these boundaries, now you're free..." and with relief. you've said the air was singing, it's calling you you don't believe these things you've never seen, never heard, never dreamed you've said the air was singing, it's calling you you don't believe these things you've never seen never, never, never never, never, never never, never, never never, never, never never, never, never never, never, never never. once you had a dream of oceans, and sunken cities; memories of things you've never known and you have never known nach oben I’VE BEEN HIGH have you seen? have not, will travel. have I missed the big reveal? do my eyes do my eyes seem empty?

I don't know, don't answer. I just needed to believe. I've been high I've climbed so high but life sometimes it washes over me. so I dive into a pool so cool and deep that if I sink I sink and when I swim I fly so high what I want what I really want is just to live my life on high. and I know I know you want the same I can see it in your eyes. I've been high I've climbed so high but life sometimes it washes over me. washes over me close my eyes so I can see make my make-believe believe in me nach oben ALL THE WAY TO RENO (YOU’RE GONNA BE A STAR) humming all the way to Reno you've dusted the non believers and challenged the laws of chance now, sweet you were so sugar sweet you may as well have had 'kick me' fastened on your sleeve you know what you are you're gonna be a star you know what you are you're gonna be a star wing is written on your feet your Achilles heel is a tendency to dream but you've know that from the beginning you didn't have to go so far you didn't have to go. you know what you are you're gonna be a star you know what you are you're gonna be a star you know who you are you know who you are you know who you are. humming all the way to Reno you've written your own directions and whistled the rules of change you know what you are you're gonna be a star you know what you are you're gonna be a star you know what you are you're gonna be a star you know what you are you're gonna be a star humming all the way to Reno all the way to Reno all the way to Reno you're gonna be a star, you are you're gonna be a star you're gonna be a star, you are you're gonna be a star nach oben SHE JUST WANTS TO BE it's not that she walked away, her world got smaller. all the usual places, the same destinations, only something's changed. it's not that she wasn't rewarded with pomegranate afternoons of mingus, chet baker and chess. it's not the stampeding fortune, of prim affectations. she's off on her own but she knows now is greater than the whole of the past is greater, and now she knows she just wants to be somewhere she just wants to be she just wants to be somewhere she just wants to be it's not that the transparency of her earlier incarnations now looked back on, weren't rich and loaded with beautiful vulnerability and now she knows now is greater and she knows that she just wants to be somewhere she just wants to be she just wants to be somewhere she just wants to be now is greater, now is greater. and she knows that she just wants to be somewhere she just wants to be she just wants to be somewhere she just wants to be she just wants to be somewhere she just wants to be she just wants to be somewhere she just wants to be it's not like if angels could truly look down stir up the trappings and light on the ground. remind us of what, when, why or who that how's up to us, me and you. and now is greater than the whole of the past is greater, and now she knows that. now she knows. nach oben Es ist nicht so, daß sie fortgelaufen ist, Ihre Welt wurde kleiner. All die gewöhnlichen Plätze, Dieselben Ziele, Nur etwas hat sich geändert. Es ist nicht so, daß sie nicht belohnt wurde Mit Granatäpfel-Nachmittagen Mit Mingus, Chet Baker und Schach. Es ist kein stürmender Zufall, Oder eine prüde Verstellung Sie ist alleine Aber sie weiß Das Jetzt ist größer als die ganze Vergangenheit Ist größer, und jetzt weiß sie Sie möchte einfach nur irgendwo sein Sie möchte einfach nur sein Sie möchte einfach nur irgendwo sein Sie möchte einfach nur sein Es ist nicht so, daß die Durchsichtigkeit Ihrer früheren Verkörperungen Von heute aus zurückblickend, nicht reich Und beladen mit schöner Verwundbarkeit waren Und jetzt weiß sie Das Jetzt ist größer Und sie weiß das Sie möchte einfach nur irgendwo sein Sie möchte einfach nur sein Das Jetzt ist größer, das Jetzt ist größer Und sie weiß das Sie möchte einfach nur irgendwo sein Sie möchte einfach nur sein Sie möchte einfach nur irgendwo sein Sie möchte einfach nur sein Es ist nicht so, als ob Engel Wahrhaft herunter sehen könnten Die Rangabzeichen aufwirbeln Und Licht auf den Grund werfen könnten Erinnern uns an was, wann, warum oder wer Daß das Wie bei uns, mir und dir liegt Und das Jetzt ist größer als die ganze Vergangenheit Ist größer, und jetzt weiß sie das Jetzt weiß sie es (© Übersetzung: unbekannt) (Danke an Daniel) nach oben DISAPPEAR I've dragged my feet across the seat and jumped out the passenger side. the only thing worth looking for is what you find inside. but that had not yet appeared. lost, invisible, here. tel aviv and agadir, taroudant or olomouc before I learned to see the vanishing point appear I looked for you and everywhere.
