lyrics

The people I’ve been
I never became
The past it seems
Is subject to change

By the white cliffs of Dover
They had my back to the wall
But I’ll take a hangover
Over nothing at all

I’ve been picking up
What you’ve been putting down
There’s more than enough
To go around

Beauty is human
And truth is truth
That’s just an opinion
It’s not an excuse

In the Egyptian twighlight
I’ve been counting my breaths
Sitting with the mountains to my east
And the desert to my west

If she’s too small
Make yourself minuscule
If she’s too tall
Climb up on a stool
And kiss her, you fool

I was standing beside
The river of bliss
I saw you swimming by
And I couldn’t resist

I’ll fight to the death
Or I’ll fall on my sword
Staying one step ahead of the devil
But two steps behind the Lord

You say the best things in this life
Are free
Would you forgive me
If I profoundly disagreed?

Everyone’s dreaming
A dream so obscure
Beauty is dreaming about the beast
But the beast ain’t dreaming about her

I’ve sailed on the ocean
And I’ve flown through the air
I don’t believe in ghosts
But I see them everywhere

She’s undressing
By the ever-renewing pool
So sign your confession
And saddle up your mule
And kiss her, you fool
