April Fool

You sing yourself to sleep at night
That's when you feel the push and the gentle pull
And the traffic sounds like an ocean wave
And the wind creeps in just to kiss your skin
And you can feel it...
You're dying in your sleep
You're living in a dream
WAKE UP NOW!
And the world starts making way too much sense
But that's when you feel like you could do anything
You try to scream but nothing will come out
Try to run but you're not going anywhere
And you can feel it...
You're dying in your sleep
You're living in a dream
Come on and WAKE UP NOW!
And you feel like life's a joke that you're not in on
Well here's the surprise:
You're not at one, you're all alone, your thoughts are mine
And all those nights I felt your lips like silk on my shoulder, you know it's killing me inside
Coz I know it's just the wind, it's just the wind
And I can feel it...
I'm dying in my sleep
I'm living in a dream
Wish I could wake up now.
I'm dying in my sleep
I'm living in a dream
I've gotta wake up now.

The Eclipse

May 15, 2003
Moon was eclipsed when they crucified me.
Oh Brother, Oh Sister, what's happening to me?
Oh Mother, Oh Father, you forgot about the kids.
Guess you must have seen The Eclipse...
'Cause it started to rain and it came down hard
And the only thing I could see was the smile on her face
And her hair full of stars.
Guess it must have been The Eclipse.
May 13, 1993
Took too many hits and it, well, it terrified me.
Oh Brother, Oh Sister, can you come and get me?
Oh Mother, Oh Father, you've gotta love your kids!
Guess you must have seen The Eclipse...
There was a fire at the rave and the face of God
Was the only thing I could see and the sirens were wailing
But we couldn't get out.
Guess it must have been The Eclipse.
Take my hand let's walk
(You're asking me to stay)
Talk me through your thoughts
(I really have to go)
Move me with the music you speak.
The logic of your song
(The morning lights my way)
Words of Blue and Pink
(But Babe, I have to go)
And the perfect neon signs you sing.
Oh, New York...
Guess it must have been The Eclipse...
'Cause it started to rain and it came down hard
And the only thing I could see was the smile on her face
(as she closed the lid)
And her hair full of stars.
Guess it must have been The Eclipse.

Nobody knows
City in the sky, just count the stars
Nobody knows
Calling to me
City sirens call from across the calm
Calling to me
Before the crowded masses here
Before that final gasp for air
I want to chase the moon across this flowing river
I don't know how I got here
In dreams I followed the river and the stars
So lucky now
The river lights that glimmer
I'd like to swim across this speckled sky
So lucky now
The City sparkles across the river in the sky
We been at this for ages, why not rest here a while?
I can feel myself going under
But it feels like I am swimming with the stars
Now I know that I'm not drowning
I am so lucky, I'm falling into the sky
I don't know how I got here
In dreams I followed the river and the stars
So lucky now
The river lights that glimmer
I'd like to swim across this speckled sky
So lucky now
Before the crowded masses here
Before that final gasp for air
I used to trace the moon across my open window

Far From Over

Far from over, here come the soldiers...
Living in a state
Where freedom's a lie and the truth is never the same
We'll never win
Until we learn how to fight the system from within
R U IN?
This is far from over
Calling on all sons and daughters
We are at war! Here come the soldiers
This is far from over....
Please, can't you see
All the useless pain and suffering I see?
I can't breathe...
This is far from over
Calling on all sons and daughters
We are at war! Here come the soldiers
This is far from over....
Here come the soldiers.
No, it's not my war
But I just can't stand here pretending that there's nothing wrong.
And I know, it's not your fault
But how can you just sit there waiting till it's over?
'Cause it'll never end!
Far from over, here come the soldiers...
