We are passengers in time
Lost in motion, locked together
Day and night, by trick of light
But I must take another journey
We must meet with other names
You touched my heart so deeply
You rescued me now free me
Don't watch me cry just see me go
I'll take away the strongest feelings
You will ever know
There will be no more isolation
In our secret separation
You touched my heart so deeply, you rescued me
Now free me
We are passengers in time
Lost in motion, locked together
Day and night, by trick of light
But I must take another journey
We must meet with other names
If you hold me you will hurt me
Be brave
There will be no more isolation
In our secret separation
You touched my heart so deeply, you rescued me
Now free me
We are matching spark and flame
Caught in endless repetition
Life for life we'll be the same
I must leave before you burn me
I am the stranger who deserts you only to love you
In another life
There will be no more isolation
In our secret separation
You touched my heart so deeply, you rescued me
Now free me
I'll bear one precious scar that only you will know
Some say a trick, some say a look
It's just a way of thinking after all
From underneath something concrete
It's just a way of coping with it all
Some with revolt, some will obey
Who attains perfection and who's to say
A criminal, a cardinal
Both frightened of angels
It doesn't mean much now
It's built for the future
For some a walk, to some a dance
It's just a form of motion one and all
Without dispute the least aware
Will no doubt see the ragings of a fool
First we look then we spy
The man who has a vision wants it all
A sin so clean rule supreme
The power to undermine
It doesn't mean much now
It's built for the future
First a glance, then a chance
To make a simple gesture worth it all
A conquer all, a desert stall
That serves a drink to people under sun
At last the place, now where's the time
To take in all the other points of view
Some are inert but one exists
To build a bridge
It doesn't mean much now
It's built for the future
Tread carefully, leave no tracks behind
Move easily, don't stack what you find
Breathe deeply, always look ahead
Wide open there's a space time won't touch
When you're feeling insecure do you treasure it?
You should treasure it
Feel the pull, feel the swing, there's no value
`till you treasure it
We'll have our turn to use what we've learnt
And stand into the light of our lives
So please yourself, feed yourself
Take a seat forthis coming attraction
When you're feeling insecure do you treasure it?
You should treasure it
Feel the pull of nature's course and treasure it
Treasure it
Feel the pull, feel the swing, there's no value
`til you treasure it
Think positive, leave the negs behind
Move easily don't stack what you find
Breathe deeply, always look ahead
Wide open there's a space time won't touch
When you're feeling insecure do you treasure it
I treasure it
Feel the pull of nature's course and treasure it
Treasure it
Feel the pull, feel the swing, there's no value
`til you treasure it.
You chase the fire
You paint the signs
I walk the wire
You shout the lines
There was a time when my mind
was made up by you.
Is this a deja vu or am I
just missing you.
I've been here before and lived
to the thrill of it all.
I might be in the dark
but I'm watching you.
You chase the fire,
but you can't take the heat.
You slay the lion,
but you won't taste the meat
Your look was all it took
to get me hooked on you
My eyes were closed
but now I'm watching you
Chorus
There was a time when my lines
were made up by you.
Is this a web of lies,
or am I just seeing through
Chorus
One morale that needs the strengthening
A timely episode of fate would you be there?
The sound of silence seems so deafening
To have to fight alone seems so unfai ...don't tell me
I can't finish what you started
I'm too far in to be without
Can't seem to preach without the practice
Far too many of us would like to get something started
The rush of youth what it could achieve
Would create more than cruising out to plunder
All you need is faith all you need is faith in yourself...
don't tell me
I can't finish what you started
I'm in too far in to be without
Can't seem to preach without the practice
Far too many scenes to be acted out
It's time for us to start restructuring
And my imagination my imagination is my tool
Society won't have my ears for lecturing
All I have is my faith all I have is my faith get away...
don't tell me
I can't finish what you started
I'm too far in to be without
Can't seem to preach without the practice
Far too many scenes to be acted out
Investigate what your ancestors left you
A wreath. A god and belief in slavery
You fight away this monochrome pact
It's legal action, it's matter of fact (that)
The Romans hailed a sun god
The Christians tortured Jews
Together is that belief for you
Walkabout the rock
It may give you a few answers
But don't lie about the rock
It gives me all the answers
Don't lie about the rock
What better way to conquer a nation
Than steal away its spiritual release
After all the door is left wide open
Hey men of god say what do you preac
Walkabout the rock. . .
(So) Maybe it's dreamtime
Close your eyes and drift away
Maybe it's dreamtime
Close your eyes don't fight it
So you believe what you believe (what you believe)
Without question without waste
You innoculate the children
Against reason against fate
You pray for mystical decisions
Through the gates
We are inside this is our final state
Walkabout the rock . . .
To every man a kingdom for the better of man's estate
Dreamtime
I've got a rover's eye
All the more to see with
It's an overview with space in mind
I can watch myself and bring my faults in line
With one look up oh yes I'm trying
The spirit's up I'm almost there
With mental wings I'm nearly flying
One look up I can see down
If you want to breathe fresh air
All you have to do is stand well clear
The things we need aren't always here
So if you feel the need to travel fly over the wall
With one look up oh yes I'm trying
The spirit's up I'm almost there
With mental wings I'm needy flying
One look up I can see down
If you really want to hope accept despair
We can all find the way to make love in the air
This overview may help our extinct
We can kick off the flesh there'll be more to share
With one look up...
You're not the first to be lonely
Thank God you're not the only
Relax with the fact you're surrounded
Just follow your bloodline
We feel warm when we think we're protected
Cry out when we feel rejected
Maybe in some other life we're connected
And we've seen it all before
Please take heart, find your soul
Read between the lines
Please take heart,
use your soul read between the lines
Please believe I implore you
Spirit flight will restore you
Only love can ignore you
Another fighting heart
Please take heart, find your soul
Read between the lines
Please take heart, play your role
Read between the lines
Feel warm if you think that you know me
I thank God when you show me
Happy that we're just surviving
Please take heart, you'll survive
Please take heart,
find your soul read between the lines
Please take heart, play your role
Read between the lines
All you have to do is read between the lines
Are you locked in the paranoia
You should enjoy the sense of doubt
Breaking down the walls of institution
I'm going to let my paganism out
A god of light
Baron of evil
Supposed to show me hallowed ground
But these our monsters we created
To civilise our primal shouts
Sense the adventure
Let those feelings out
Sense the adventure
Let the pagan out
Not just because you have your answers
It should not mean my views are seen in vain
An earthly bid for resurrection
Will never soothe the human pain
Sense the adventure
Let those feelings out
Sense the adventure
Let the pagan out
No war of rights to battle angels
Will ever justify these ends
Please recognise yourself in others
A generation makes amends
Are you locked out in no direction
You could escape to feed the mind
To an untrodden feild of vision
Sensitivity will find
Sense the adventure
Let those feelings out
Sense the adventure
Let the pagan out
A feeling like camphor rushing through my tubes
A cooling draught, a rare interlude
Drowning depression to admire and trust
Who can watch a man making dust to dust?
One legal dose of environment
The ballad of a playground swing
There's a lonely dog so misunderstood
He's left his chores to become someone's friend
Things are so enchanting
High on life
Then once again the flash of pines
Beck to this breathtaking view
Where the peeks are so high full of encouragement
And the paints of the gods colour code
Things are so enchanting
High on life
Things are where they can't be high on life
So I'm thinking about my favourite dream
An adventure not out of bounds
It dries my eyes to know mother earth hears
I'm invisible to blue hounds
It pleases me to have a mind on the run
When the body is fixed tied in shoes
What expression is left to fulfil the gap
Just a nod will suffice where you are?
Things are so enchanting high on life
