Spinning Reel

Home spun and sugar free
Packed up and ready for the big adventure
Wanderings in enchanted forests
Feeling your way through the night, the needles, and pines
Tempting green nurseries
It's a big one for the nominees of cloning

Ain't it a shame
That's she's left behind
The cable's the same
And the house is mine

Solar heating prodigies
Caught up in big company that shadow them
Hangin' out at the water palace
Saving all your coins for a rainy day
Rucksacks full of memory
But you stayed there and you worked on the rites of Spring

Golden gilt with a heart in the middle
A bell and a crown for the beggars in the old town square
Pulling down the curtains in the old red corner
Give 'em a shake, paint 'em blue and then shout at the moon

Fool

I've been walking on fire
Trying to bring your blue skies back
Reaching out for your strangled features
Kicking people in the gut for fun and pleasure

Hangin' out for a one way ticket
Sold my soul too many times
Believing stories from your borrowed editions
Chewing on your pipe dreams

It wasn't working
Working at all
The sun ain't shining
Shining no more

The TV man he dropped by
Fed me biscuits and he said you're my style
Reached in his pockets for a couple of lines
Stitched me up and made me the dancin' fool

Now it's been all of seven years
Seven years of glory
Throwing out my impressive features
Never goin' back to the place they call me the dancing fool

Chewing Corn

Drifting away back home
Finding mercy in the shade
Laid my head into restless hands
See it slide into grey

Sleeping sand, see the sun
Sad and bleeding, red and crazed
Eyes to the sky
Tears falling
Free falling, from the day

And I say to you
There's nothing more
I can do for you

Mars

There is no life on Mars, it's a sad, sad revelation
You can see them all driving their cars
There goes another gas station
There is no life on Mars, but there are those who watch the sky
and wait......

There are no fish on Mars, nothing to eat, nothing to pray to
They all stare into their picture tubes
Somewhere there's a dream for two
And yet they dream of water and all its lusty derivations

When you fly in through the clouds, hope glimmers and lifts the dust that's settled down, light up the sky, fire up the night sky

Like a fire burning down, making friends then leaving town, in a hurry to forget, running crazy lose my legs, the many miles to you instead, hey hey that's the way I like it

Vega

It's up to you say
That you don't want it any other way
When you get that dry biscuit
You've got to slowly chew it

Always stupefied
By her dazzling, dazzling eyes
She's my spirit Vega
She's my one desire

Candide multiplied
A pox on you and your desires
I never asked for your concern
I'll chop you up and watch you burn

'Cos I'm just a swine
Swimming in forsaken brine
Beleagured now that she's gone
My Vega she's the one

I still dream of her everyday
When she comes to me I will say
You've got me hanging at every turn
The goddess of mercy she'll never learn
