What it means to try,
outside the pale,
no use trying to lie,
in your bones,
who needs a trial,
to find yourself alone,
you look at the time,
other measured trails,
it seems a while,
you think you can atone,
when love fails,
and someone asks you home,
flip a coin see the sky,
talk of finding sail,
it sometimes ends this way,
drink wine out of cones,
must be some good mail,
throw stones at ghosts,
no worse than jail,
forsake the stars at night,
hit the shining rails,
praise bright smiles.

Tell me, tell me why,
they treat you like a seer,
my lips dance in delight,
you command a beautiful air,
bells ring out the night,
candle scent and myrrh,
who says we all die,
no call for siren's tears,
demands we have to try,
life contains its flair,
a proud engineer,
our praise held in tight,
I walk like a man gone by,
through the city's fear,
so hot it seems to fry,
will they find our lair,
songs for all their ears,
do we have a care,
this ship is full of iron,
they love orators here,
in darkness a green lullaby,
a soul comes to share.

A worn-out empty feeling,
all you wish to hide,
the pain of someone leaving,
she brings you the news,
doesn’t try,
to disguise what’s true,
never mean she lights the sea,
an artist bright as sky,
and this old has been,
looking for something new,
a need to find,
the story of his youth,
who never leaves his street,
tho' he walks each night,
what do young women need,
he’s sunk a few,
failing with the light,
on St Anthony's pews,
sheltered by her being,
like a soul on fire,
the smile of visions seen,
now retired.

Nothing’s left to fake,
sing any song you choose,
don't seek escape,
pray with all your bones,
no one counts on you,
say you're not alone,
reason comes too late,
to heal your broken drew,
like a brigand finds escape,
you're a rolling stone,
all of life’s a tune,
don't worry if you'll cope,
find some tide or sail,
any sea will do,
another lover surely waits,
a knife to the throat,
dancing closer to the blue,
what is left to hold,
except you anyway,
dangled on some pirate's slew,
slicing down the Spanish Main,
act as if you knew.

I beat a useless retreat,
for all he cannot find,
nothing seems to please,
he won't bear good news,
that love just needs time,
or hear a little truth,
I fear the hiss of alchemy,
what doesn't rate sublime,
he turns into Blasphemy,
can't disguise his Blues,
or face what's on his mind,
there's never only you,
he shakes his car keys,
an open-topped warm clime,
brings no Odyssey,
rather than a loving creed,
for what might shine,
he'd prefer to bleed,
forget any sense of ease,
that isn't a crime,
I’ll face my own needs,
somewhere down the line.

Would you even care,
I'm breaking up the pattern,
It’s gone beyond a dare,
have you read my news,
within your open wallet,
I'm not in love with you,
your hand around me curls,
squeezes when I soften,
despite the way things turn,
carry on that angry you,
under trees in satin,
you'll never know what's true,
jewels won't bind this girl,
ships can sail forgotten,
so much more to learn,
I ‘m cold before your blues,
God is not for mocking,
he is gone from view,
a sourball summer swirled,
can't you see me rocking,
it isn't me you've turned,
lost among the blossom.

Dream talk don't hurt,
enough to crack,
your candy world,
silken tents you've thrown,
never collapse,
they stand in for stones,
plates you sometimes hurl,
nothing holds you back,
sweet talk makes you curl,
this life is not your own,
in many ways it's crass,
consider that part gone,
you're not that perturbed,
how much time has passed,
flags are left unfurled,
the way you smoke,
when you keep the pass,
nothing's worth that slope,
praise this song or burn,
love is on the gas,
turn the flame down,
hold it fast.
