A Wizard, A True Star

Instrumental (tic, tic, tic)

Sometimes it's hard to look up under
The times we're going through
I scratch my head and stare and wonder
How to face the day anew
But it gives my life a bit more meaning
To feel in love with you, so heavy
I don't want to weigh you down, oh baby
I don't want to tie you down
I don't want a thing to mar this ever
The picture that we make
The balance of our minds together
The perfect give and take
For me to let my love possess you
Would be the worst mistake, i'm sorry
I don't want to bring you down, oh baby
I don't want to tie you down, oh jesus
I don't want to nail you down

Pretty bird with feathers falling
Pretty as a lady calling
For her pink and midnight lover
As she stares into the water

And a yellow moon is rising
And there can't be no disguising
That the pretty bird is dying
With a silver arrow lying at its side

Rivers of blood,
Oceans of tears,
Life without death,
And death without reason

To the whole united nations,
To your greatest expectations
To the moment that you realize
As a dark figure slips from out of the shadow

Pretty bird closes its eyes, pretty bird dies
Another pretty thing dead on the end of the shaft
Of the zen archer

A man in parts forgotten
With an outlook that is rotten
And an attitude to match it
Finds relief inside a hatchet
And he halved someone in boulder
Justifiability is in the hands of the beholder
And you just don't know what people will do next

Mountains of pain,
Valleys of love,
Death without life,
And life without meaning

To the promise kept and broken
To the love that's never spoken
Just as surely as i'm in your ears
A dark figure slips from out of the shadow

Here we are again, the start of the end,
But there's more
I only want to see if you'll give up on me
But there's always more
There is more, international feel
And there's more, interplanetary deals
But there's more, interstellar appeal
Still there's more, universal ideal
Still there's more, international feel
I swear something lies
In your ears and your eyes
'cause there's more
You hear and you see yet you do not believe
That there's always more
(i know)

Beat it, beat it, beat your guitar
Smash it, smash it, 'til it sees stars
Rip it, rip it, rip it to shreds
Throw down your axe and then jump into bed
Get up, get up, get up and see
Revolution on the tv
Will you, will you, get your nails dirty
Or are you only just a rock and roll pussy

Earthquake in new york city,
The chrysler building fell in my yard
But when the shit hits the fan,
I think i'll have to make my way
Back to sunset boulevard
The ira has just hit london,
They blew up half of scotland yard
But when the shit hits the fan,
I guess i'll try to make my way
Back to sunset boulevard
Cruisin' down a mountain highway,
Someone's cut the brakes on my car
But when the shit hits the fan,
I know i have to get my ass
Back to sunset boulevard

You don't need your feet
'cause you know you got wheels
You don't need your hands
'cause you know how it feels
You don't need your eyes
'cause you know how she looks
You don't need your tongue
'cause you know how she cooks
But you need your head

You don't need your belly
'cause there's nothing to eat
You don't need your heart
'cause it just can't be beat
You don't need your mouth
'cause you talk too much
You don't need your crotch,
Ah you know it's only a crutch
But you need your head

Talk, you can talk, but if you ask me take
All your big words and put them together
What good will they do when the long day is through
Does anybody love you?
Do you think that anybody's in love with
You can dress up or dress down as you
Gaze in the mirror, hung up on your body
What good can it be when there's no one there to see
You're so lovely, so wise
You could make venus crawl
But love between the ugly is the most beautiful love of all

I know a place where dreams are born
And time is never planned
It's not on any chart
You must find it in your heart
Never never land
It may be miles beyond the moon
Or right there where you stand
Just keep an open mind
And then suddenly you'll find
Never never land
You'll have a treasure if you stay there
More precious far than gold
For once you have found your way there
You will never, never grow old
And that's my home where dreams are born
And time is never planned
Just think of pleasant things
And your heart will fly on wings, forever in
Never never land

We've been waiting so long,
We've been waiting for the sun to rise and shine
Shining still to give us the will
Can you hear me, the sound of my voice?
I am here to tell you i have made my choice
I've been listening to what's been going down
There's just too much talk and gossip going 'round
You may think that i'm a fool, but i know the answer
Words become a tool, anyone can use them
Take the golden rule, as the best example
Eyes that have seen will know what i mean

The time has come to take the bull by the horns
We've been so downhearted, we've been so forlorn
We get weak and we want to give in
But we still need each other if we want to win

Hold that line, baby hold that line
Get up boys and hit 'em one more time
We may be losing now but we can't stop trying
So hold that line, baby hold that line

If you don't know what to do about a world of trouble
You can pull it through if you need to and if
You believe it's true, it will surely happen
Shining still, to give us the will
Bright as the day, to show us the way
Somehow, someday,
We need just one victory and we're on our way
Prayin' for it all day and fightin' for it all night
Give us just one victory, it will be all right
We may feel about to fall but we go down fighting
You will hear the call if you only listen
Underneath it all we are here together shining still

Sometimes i don't know
I just don't know what to feel

Sometimes i don't know what to feel
Everything i thought that i knew starts to look so unreal
There's a ringing in my head that keeps me awake at night
Sometimes i don't know what is right
Today i saw a car crush my little dog under its wheel
It did not even stop, it just sped off and out of sight
Sometimes i just feel so afraid
But i know that no one else has it made
So if i just believe in myself
I won't need no help from nobody else and i can make it alone
And everything will be cool, i got to keep on keepin' on
There's nothing else i can do

Sometimes i don't know what to do
Someone said the world's going to end and i think its true
I thought there was some love in the world
But i guess i'm wrong
Sometimes i just feel so alone
I don't want to admit to my friends that i feel confused
I wonder what i'd do with myself if the world was gone
Something makes me stay on my feet
Don't you dare admit to defeat
And if i tell myself it's all right
I can comfort myself through the night
And watch another day dawn
And everything will be cool
