Forgotten Language Somewhere there's a silent shout There's a hollow ear set to the ground Somewhere there's a Forgotten Language Lost in a pages turn In the fire of a controlled burn Somewhere there's a Forgotten Language Somewhere in the keen intent Of iron upon steel Courage bats a wary eye But somehow remains still Polishing the rusted days While oiling the wheel To roll on and on and on Come on let's shout it out Someones got to make a sound Somewhere there's a Forgotten Language Don't tip toe through your doubt Pull your hollow ear from the ground Somewhere there's a Forgotten Language Somewhere in the good intent of fending for our own Courage bats a wary eye But settles to the feel Polishing the rusted days While oiling the wheel To roll on and on and on Anchient tongues are screaming at a distance But they go Forgotten

I think of all my friends I forgot my face I think of all my friends I think of all my friends I think of all my friends We took a ride through the mountain pass Old friends and lovers I think of all my friends Ohhhh, come on over and turn a light on Ohhhh, respect and love Another week goes by I think of all my friends Another week goes by Where have you been Where have you been Taken' stranger's pain Did you drink away the night or fall in love with a ghost like foul Ohhhh, come on over and turn a light on Ohhhh, don't take too long Respect and Love....................

The slow many movements of your marble hands they left me cringing with the weight of tomorrow But I'll never know the world in which you stand but come there's no need for bitter sorrow And that was when the gold-flecked morning backed me up in your corner your temptress eyes always wake me So bury your many sins remember that lonely train ride you took all the way to the west coast There's a third eye in the mirror yes it knows your hidden names

Heira 02:59
Heira, Heira don't let it get to you Because it happened before and will again and again But don't you let it get you down because the air is drowning me too Heira, Heira don't let it get to you We're running, quickly, and I can't catch you I call out your name Heira, Heira But don't you let it get you down because the air is drowning me too Drowning me.... Happened before... Drowning me too... Will again...

v.1 The road lights swell and fade behind my lids x2 four bodies asleep bouncing on the vinyl mesh The road lights swell and fade behind my lids chorus Then they carried us into the den with the snakes and scorpions x2 v.2 enveloped behind a silky white weave x2 to protect us from the sting of some alien disease enveloped behind a silky white weave chorus (repeat) bridge In the zoo of the pale white and new x4 chorus (repeat)

Little lamb sat quiet in the bathtub shivers madly wild eyes on me Filling up my senses it ushers in the diamond blues Oh if you haven't taken with you your heart Think back to the time when consequence was a playmate and now your diamond blues Yeah they cut so deep oh oh Brother dearest walks into the midnight wishing for the visitors to take him away Sitting at the window Crying through the diamond blues Oh if you haven't taken with you your heart Think back to the time when consequence was a playmate and now your diamond blues Yeah they cut so deep oh oh To tangle in a web made up of nonsense virtue summoned by a strange and distant effervescence You lost your love down a well Have you had enough of those diamond blues Fall creek shadows whisper lullabies now twisting turning send me off to bed

Lately 03:19
Lately I find myself back to the days when we first met constantly squirming, silly, a tough tied mess If only I could remember how far our friendship had come the push and pull of the obligatory rules would be silent and still La La La Days, months, years have gone by and still I think you're swell and I do know you well Yet my anxious mind makes me feel inclined to question all the love that I find La La La Dear Clyde, I wanted a boyfriend so I thought I would write to you darling There's no other boy around here that interests me as you Clyde darling Call me up Clyde darling When I saw you the other night over at pinks I thought I would go crazy because I love you so From you girlfriend E.D. La La La

A.a Mabee don't be so indifferent to me we could stay right here glueing up the pieces of the war and when the flares go up we could go run go run for cover embarrassing though it may seem it's better than the alternative And diamonds are, my dear, they are here buried in the dust of the trenches that mark the enemies territory We'll set out on a covert operation most likely to our death and by the moonlight we will die die in each others arms A.b And I said goodbye to we tattered and tamed there's no second chance I'm sorry to say and when the cannons rain down on our parade you know I'll miss you A.a2 Mabee don't be so indifferent to me we could stay right here in each others arms forever and as our shadows stretch like ghostly fingers grasping for the dark night we'll let our love cautiously light upon the fading fringes A.b (repeat x2)

These cautiously timed steps through brutal love are enough to lead a man like me to certain death lead me on I know now there's no moral to the tale I'll leave as I came so helpless and frail Lead me on x2 (repeat) The pieces of the war weigh heavy on us
