O Sleeper, O Outsider Pull the circle tighter O Sleeper, O Outsider Is there a place where we can be? Somewhere deeper, wider O Sleeper, O Outsider Donąt wake up Keep dreaming me. Whose tears are these? Do I want to know Can I ever know Whose fears are these? Whose sighs are these? Whose memories? Make the circle smaller And I will surely fall More softly than a shadow cross a ruin Somewhere out there it's brighter O Sleeper, O Outsider Where nothing comes between us But the occasional moon. Whose thoughts are these? Even in the dark I read your troubled heart so easily Whose smiles are these? Whose memories? Pull the circle tighter O Sleeper, O Outsider In this moment we are free Take me somewhere higher O Sleeper, O Outsider Donąt wake up Keep dreaming me.

Married To The Muse You and she, a soul divided How much distance is enough? Get too near, the mirror shatters Yet she gives you songs of love She's a wound that never heals And all you have to lose This is a fact the heart conceals When you're married to the Muse Now you give in. Now you fight it A drowning man with feet of lead You're full of her and nothing matters Lying on your soft sea bed She's a wound that never heals You sing the palest blues This is a fact the heart reveals When you're married to the Muse If you hold her you will lose her Then your sleep will have no dreams The part of you that knows Hates the part of you that needs Climb aboard the storm and ride it Chase the piece of you she claims Oblivious, the truth lies battered Real or not, it feels the same She's a wound that never heals And all you have to lose These are facts the heart feels When you're married to the Muse

Bowling For Love Sally owns the alley And Tammy serves the drinks She says Don't be a stranger And she gives you time to think As her friend Mr. Sartre says If it's love, what is love? Define the kind of feeling you're in search of BABY LET'S GO BOWLING BABY LET'S GO BOWLING FOR LOVE WE'LL KNOCK DOWN A FEW PINS DOESN'T MATTER WHO WINS BABY LET'S GO BOWLING FOR LOVE Now Sartre's in the alley He claims it isnąt fair And Tammy says Don't talk so much And maybe you'll make that spare As her friend Schopenhauer says, If it's real, what is real Can you ever know for certain What you feel or what I feel? BABY LET'S GO BOWLING BABY LET'S GO BOWLING FOR LOVE WE'LL KNOCK DOWN A FEW PINS INVENT A COUPLE NEW SINS BABY LET'S GO BOWLING FOR LOVE You're welcome in the alley If you reinvent Rimbaud If you change your opinions Just like you change your clothes And Tammy knows the score She's heard that 'bowling and nothingness' line She knows the distance from the Other Can't be measured with the mind. BABY LET'S GO BOWLING BABY LET'S GO BOWLING FOR LOVE WE'LL KNOCK DOWN A FEW PINS DOESN'T MATTER WHO WINS BABY LET'S GO BOWLING FOR LOVE

You Are Here YOU ARE HERE. YOU ARE HERE. Refer to grid locations All plans are drawn to scale The outline of the structure rises As the light begins to pale Allow for variations Let simple lines prevail At the very center, a heartbeat Echoing the words that never fail YOU ARE HERE. YOU ARE HERE. From skeletal foundations The angled planes emerge And slowly bone and breath ascend To where steel beams and wind diverge A sense of expectation The empty space is gone Flexibility, form, and function Silhouetted in luminous dawn YOU ARE HERE. YOU ARE HERE. And stone by stone And breath by breath You change the skyline of heart and mind Your endless halls and starlit roof stairs of love, walls of fear, doors of truth, bright rooms appear You are here. And breath by breath And stone by stone Oh, this love has grown. Refer to illustration In case of doubt or fear Avoid the elevators, use the stairway Keep the exits clear For further information Consult your Inner Guides Note the color code of each level On the diagram that Time provides YOU ARE HERE. YOU ARE HERE.

New World We are settlers in a new world And we've come to stake our claim In a strange land of canyons That dwarf our wagon train We have come to build a new life In a place as ancient as the stars There are only silent voices To tell us where we are IN THE NEW WORLD dreams are alive IN THE NEW WORLD love will survive IN THE NEW WORLD nothing's the same IN THE NEW WORLD no fences, no chains IN THE NEW WORLD We have come for the future Whatever it will be And we are howling like the wild dogs They are restless and so are we We will shed our skins like memories Let them wash away in the rain Leave the wagons far behind us Racing bareback cross the plains IN THE NEW WORLD dreams are alive IN THE NEW WORLD love will survive IN THE NEW WORLD nothing's the same IN THE NEW WORLD no heartache, no shame IN THE NEW WORLD

Angel, Cover Me This feeling lives in me It was never mine to choose This feeling is the root, the tree The soft voice of the Muse And when I try to say all that I feel My voice becomes the wind that turns the wheel. ANGEL, COVER ME FOLD ME IN YOUR WINGS HOLD ME TILL THE DARK MOON PASSES BY HOVER OVER ME LET ME HEAR YOU SING AND I WILL DREAM OF YOU TONIGHT Why is the sky so low? Why does rain taste like salt Why do I blame myself or you When neither was at fault And when I try to say all that I feel There are not words enough and words aren't real CHORUS This feeling lives in me It was never mine to lose This feeling is the light, the sea The soft voice of the Muse And when I try to say all that I feel Your voice becomes the wind that turns the wheel. ANGEL, COVER ME FOLD ME IN YOUR WINGS HOLD ME TILL THE DARK MOON PASSES BY HOVER OVER ME LET ME HEAR YOU SING AND I WILL BE WITH YOU TONIGHT

California Girl I wrote a message in the sand Then the waves took it away To a place where you are standing And maybe you will read it. I am living in paradise At least it would be paradise If only you were here And not so many miles away Do you think of me and feel the shelter Do you think of me and feel the warmth Do you remember... WHEN WE CAUGHT THE WAVE TOGETHER AND WE HELD A PERFECT WORLD WHEN I WAS YOUR CALIFORNIA GIRL. Lemonade and sushi for breakfast Seashells and sand in your shoes I wake up thinking of how you... Caught the summer in your arms Held as tight as you could hold But the seasons kept on turning And took you to your winter. Are you watching far from here Ships that rise and disappear And flying fish like silver arrows Broken by the moon? Do you ever dream of blood red sunsets Do you feel the fire in your skin Do you remember... WHEN WE CAUGHT THE WAVE TOGETHER AND WE HELD A PERFECT WORLD WHEN I WAS YOUR CALIFORNIA GIRL. Lemonade and sushi for breakfast Sea spray and salt on your hands If only I could make time stand still. Do you think of me and feel the shelter Do you think of me and feel the warmth Do you remember... WHEN WE CAUGHT THE WAVE TOGETHER AND WE HELD A PERFECT WORLD WHEN I WAS YOUR CALIFORNIA GIRL.
