Set fire underneath our seven silver ships Sail them up into the sky Break through air and out of gravity Moving forward, flying high Pack up all your trailing radio wires Set our coordinates past the sun Other worlds are waiting far away We'll wave to each and every one If I could drink this water If I could breathe the air I might have spent my life lying beside you My heart's electric impulse echoes everywhere But not one pulse could ground me inside you Now we are lighting up the dark We used to fear from far below Our antennas reaching to the stars Waiting for hello, Waiting for hello Waiting for hello

I'll Know 02:16
Skate swiftly My quicksilver quill When the night falls Fall quiet and still Step softly My dashing young dancer When you shout in the crowd And the crowd doesn't give you an answer And it's hard to explain why you stand in the rain While the others go out in the snow And they won't hear your cries all the days you're alive But I'll know Mm, I'll know Rest deeply Sleep sound When you're gone I'll cover your ground I'll take up your pen and I'll say it again And I promise I won't let it go And I'll sit in your chair when there's nobody there And I'll know Mm, I'll know Mm, I'll know

Tell Me 03:14
Tell me Tell me child Tell me why you look so wild When you lie there But you're not sleeping When you sit here But you're not eating Tell me Tell me love Tell me what you're thinking of When you sit here But you're not speaking When you lie there When you're hardly breathing Tell me somehow Tell me now Say you're only dreaming Say it's all a show Oh why don't you remember Just tell me it isn't so Tell me I don't think I can Tell me You'll never understand Why I'm running but never walking Why I'm singing but I'm never talking Tell me somehow Tell me now Say you're only dreaming Say it's all a show Oh why don't you remember Just tell me it isn't so
4.
You put a seed inside a jar It waits inside and dreams about The sunlight and the rain But you placed it upon a shelf And never thought of it again
5.
Tell me that you know just how it feels When you are running out of Early one morning, I was thinking of you And as I lay in the sun I thought up a tune, and I say
6.
Round and round and round and round The sycamore tree They were five and we were two Plus one equals three Brown eyes, blue eyes, you're nothing like me Lost boy or lonely girl, what do you see? Invisible child When you wander alone You are ashamed to bear the secret Of your true name
7.
Too many people Crowding around me My heart is racing I'm in a stormy sea Far away from home I just could not cope With too many people Feeding on their hopes The clock is racing But time is standing still The lights are flashing To give them all a thrill As I'm swept away I find I cannot pass As one of those people On the other side of glass Too many people Their mouths stretch open wide I cannot catch my breath And I cannot hide Somewhere in the night A tea kettle screams But all of those people Can't hear it in their dreams
8.
I, I want to be something else I, I want to be something else You, when you look at me You don't see You don't see You don't see
9.
When I close my eyes to end the day Hear you move into that corner of your mind Don't tell me it's just that you can't sleep I know you sing in the night when I can't speak Cos I'm alone with you Yes, I'm alone with you, yes it's true I dreamed all these words were broken clouds Pieces swirling in drifts of paper snow Don't tell me that you don't understand Felt you move in the dark to take my hand And I'm alone with you Yes, I'm alone with you, yes it's true
10.
Shut your eyes, little lady To the storm that's rushing in Shut your eyes, little lady Against the passion and the sin And if you're looking straight at me Then I'll be honest as can be But if you don't like what you see then shut your eyes Shut your eyes Shut your eyes, little lady To the truth you know so well Shut your eyes, wicked woman Or it'll send you straight to hell And if you're looking straight at me Then I'll be honest as can be But if you don't like what you see then shut your eyes Shut your eyes Shut your eyes, shut your eyes And if you don't like what you see then shut your eyes Shut your eyes Oh I wish I were a sailor, Sailing out to sea Cause I've heard of other harbors Where there are men there just like me And if you're looking straight at me Then I'll be honest as can be But if you don't like what you see then shut your eyes Shut your eyes
11.
Intertwined 03:00
You feel like electricity Your wires are wrapped around me I can't reset my circuitry We're intertwined But I don't mind When I turn on my mind's T.V. Your image is all that I can see Like you are right in front of me We're intertwined It's so sublime I'm analog But you are digital And we're so incompatible And I forgot Kirchhoff's voltage law My heart's uninsulatable And I start to wind down When you're not around You fill me up with energy Creating so much synergy Electrical Biology We're intertwined But I don't mind I'm analog But you are digital And we're so incompatible And I forgot Kirchhoff's voltage law My heart's uninsulatable And I start to wind down When you're not around
12.
Pretty Boy 02:16
Pretty Boy, my Pretty Boy Though you never did call me by name I know Pretty Boy that you loved me And today I still love you the same Pretty Boy, I love you Just as much as I did long ago You never need tell me you loved me For as long as I live, I'll know But you're gone, and for years I've been alone And I'm afraid that my heart's turned to stone You were my closest friend Right on up to the end Pretty boy, I'll never see you again Pretty Boy, I miss you And the days just keep rolling along I still remember how it felt to kiss you So forgive me if I forget to be strong

Wake up, it's a brand morning And I brought something for you The sun is out, there's a new day dawning The sky is clear and blue Wake up, you know the birds are all singing Their voices sing along in rhyme Come out, the grass is so inviting It's getting clearer all the time I know what it's like to be down-hearted So that you can hardly breathe Promise you it's gonna get better It's got to get better There's gonna be a brand new day A brand new day Wake up and throw open your window We can welcome in the sun Been so long since the clouds have broken And I think it's time to have some fun Wake up, come on the flowers are blooming Faces reaching way up high And winters' shadows have finally left us The trees are sweetening the sky I know what it's like to be downhearted So that you can hardly breathe Promise you it's gonna get better It's got to get better Yeah, there's gonna be a brand new day A brand new day
